About Scion

The very first question that I hear on almost a daily basis is "What kind of car is that?" Scion is a US only division of Toyota founded in 2003. It currently has 3 cars, the xA, xB, and tC. The xA and xB are both rebadged Japanese market cars named the "ist" and "bb" respectively. A third vehicle the tC has joined the lineup as a 2005 model, and is a new design based on the Japenese Toyota Avensis. Scion's goal is to attract young US car buyers into purchasing Toyota vehicles, which recently had not sold well amongst the 18-25 year old population. Scion uses sales tactics such as no haggle pricing, trendy internet ads, and aftermarket tuning parts to attract perspective buyers. Scions first 2 cars have been met with mixed public reaction, especially the box-shaped xB, which has become a joke amongst some in the automotive world... but we know better.
