    Default New Scions

    Scion is updating their boxes.

    The xB now has the 158hp four from the tC. Looks like it's competing more directly with the Element now.


    The new xD replaces the xA. It's basically Yaris-sized, but has a bigger Corolla-based engine. It is also available as a 4-door hatch (unlike the Yaris) and looks a bazillion times better to boot.

    I have to admit I like the old xB better, but the new engine will help things

    You had to post a picture of that color... Lava Orange and black look pretty good on xB's.

    I'm actually a fan of the Scion xB and bB. I like the creativity they bring to the tuner market. Toyota has done a good job with Scion line, I always hear good things about the cars despite the awkward looks some people dislike.
