I highly highly doubt that they would consider it an SUV because not only is it built off a 100% car platform but will also be marketed as a car, which is key. Besides that, the Matrix/Vibe should still be larger than the new xB and it is still classified as a car. Remember the whole thought process of Scion is keepin it affordable to the Gen Y crowd, so I really don't think that te Mother Ship would produce something as a Scion.

There you winners go again...






Glad to hear its sexier though. I'd love to be wrong as long as the new vehicle looks better!

^ agreed.... the xD is much nicer looking, and the interior console is dynamically different... the hood design is unlike any of those, with a big scion logo pretty much molded into the shape of the hood...

I love the conspiracy theories about what we say "No" to, as we pretty much say no to everything cause it doesn't look much like anything else we've seen so far...

I believe everyone is right miami people and the people suggesting Blade/Aurus?? obviously scion is gonna "scionize it" change it to make it
1. more affordable since currently has a base price of 19K if converted from yen
2. Americanize it to be accepted

Personally I don't like the blade it look like the front was stolen from the Yaris/Camry the door panel region fro the Matrix/Ist and the rear end of a mix between a Lexus RX 400/ Mazda 3 hatch/ Subaru tribeca.

Of course I am probably bias since I own a xA/Ist

The xD is supposed to come out in July. It will have a 1.8L 4 cylinder engine, there's no way will it have a V6...

I think the Blade looks like a Nissan... the headlights remind me of an Altima or Maxima.

I still think the xD is based on the Auris platform but with its own unique body design. I'm hoping they use the new 1.8-liter I-4 with the CVT-i automatic retuned for American driving styles, just like what Nissan did with the JATCO CVT to reduce the "slipping clutch" feel of older CVT's.

We'll find out publicly--hopefully as early as NAIAS within the next two weeks! :D

Nope. Have you read any of the latest posts in this forum? Expect details at the CAS, not the NAIAS, Per Mark Templin.

if the xD is a bit smaller than the xA and a little bigger engine ill buy it in a heartbeat! Right now the xA is just a little big with a TINY engine. If it pulled bout 150hp stock instead of 108 no doubt it would be mine but it needs a little more power.... which is what i hope for the xD!!!

It looks to me that the USDM Yaris has way more in common with the Auris than what Miami winners have said about the xD.

The xD will be slightly bigger than the xA and slightly smaller than the Matrix (from what people have been saying).
