dear scion, now that toyota has discontinued the mr2 spyder i think that scion should come out with a 2 seater convertable with high performance but thats just me

 

I would also like to see another Toyota convertible now that the Solara is the only one left. But, I don't think it will be a Scion because of the price. Oh well....here's to hoping.

 

Well, there is a Lexus convertible... and a Toyota convertible... neither are really sports cars. I think a small 2-seat convertible would slot into the Scion brand nicely... but follow the Miata's direction and keep it a true roadster with real potential.

The MR2 Spyder was great in theory... mid-engine 2-seat sportster... but then it was harnessed with the Celica GT engine (instead of the GTS engine you can even get in the Corolla!) and you had lackluster sales.

Why couldn't Toyota build a Miata/Mini mix with the best parts of each... for under $20,000? Now THAT would be interesting!

 

An improved Sequential Manual Transmission (SMT) or even a true Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) would be good options, IMHO. Don't know if the DSG would be too costly.

 

Convertable scion? hmm, I dont really like convertables.

 

I think a convertable xb would be pretty awesome.
Especially if it was a convertable similar to the Chevy SSR (self contained/retractable) hardtop.

It may be impossible, but hey... I can dream.

 

I saw pics of a convertible xB and I think it's hideous. Just my two cents....

 

Do you have a link to those pics you could share?
I've never seen an example, though I'm very curious.

Thanks.

 

i also saw a pick of the convertible xb it was black. I thought it looked alright. I'd only sport one if I lived some where that was warm all the time though

 

wasn't there a thread a while back where they mentioned that a convertible could be in the scion line-up?

I wouldn't mind one, and It would fit in nice. and yea I remember the convertable xB,

 

I'll post pics tonight after work.

 

The moment everyones been waiting for....

Top Down...

Top up...

 

AWWWW! I can't believe you think that it is hideous!?!?
I'd get that at the drop of a hat!

Too cute (maybe a little more for a female... but regardless)!!!!

 

that pic was in the scion mag at the la show... its fuggin ugly, like if they gave it to me for free, i would spit in the guys face who was given the keys to me ... but honestly, i dont know what that guy was thinking, just to let you know he is doing this as a business

 

Looks like a bigger version of the VW Cabrio. Anyone remember that car? Oh, how about a face off with the PT Cruiser convertible Lmao!

 

That's exactly where i got the pics from. I don't know what that guy was thinking. Looks like a box version of the P.T.

 

Guess they're all for me then

 

Yep. You and every college chick out there!

 

ditto

 

it looks like the VW Thing..... just a little lower

I LIKE IT!
