Scion Pricing & Reviews

Scion

Imagined as a youth-oriented sub-brand for Toyota Motor Corp. (Toyota), Scion sold a limited lineup of models at what the company called a “Pure Price.” The goal was to appeal to young buyers seeking something different and trendy to drive, and to give them a simple, haggle-free purchasing experience. Mainstays of the Scion lineup included the fairly sporty tC and the funky yet utilitarian xB. In later years, Scion added the Mazda-sourced iA sedan, Corolla-based iM hatchback, and the Subaru-built FR-S sports car in order to inject some excitement. Not long afterward, however, Toyota elected to discontinue Scion, moving the most recent additions to the Toyota-brand lineup.

Scion introduces its redesigned tC An all-new subcompact model, called the iQ, is just around the cornerHistoryScion, a Japanese brand, is a division of Toyota Motor Corporation. The brand was launched in 2002 as the automaker made changes to its product lineup in order to capture a larger share of younger buyers. Unlike the automaker's Toyota or Lexus brands, both marketed and sold through traditional methods, Scion took a different approach. Consumers were targeted through non-traditional marketing. In addition, each automotive model would have just one standard trim level (but there would be a long list of available accessories for customers to personalize their vehicles). Lastly, Scion models would be sold with a fixed price.

The car is unchanged for 2009; indeed, sales began in May with the only change being Stingray Metallic paint available instead of the former Nautical Blue Metallic color. The 2008 model year brought a new flair to the xB's boxy design, as well as the added punch from a 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine with 158 hp, or a third more power than was available for the first-generation "xBox." The new engine provides 22 mpg city/28 mpg highway mileage ratings.
