actually these kind of cars are called K-karts in japan and hong kong and some other asian countires, which have pretty good sales in fact. i like the idea of scion, so it can reduce the amount of corolla on the street! :D

 

thats what i dont get. i know they sell well in asian countries, and i think they race those boxy things. so far, the only arguement presented in this trhead was that theya re cheap and roomy. for cheapness, you can by many makes of vehicles (nissan ser spec v for example) you can buy. unless ur 6'6, do you need all the room? my remark was the xB (BOXY one) sells well, why? is it minivan folk that are buying these? no, i see many younger generation buying these, and that's what i don't get. at the show this weekend, saw 3, all owned by younger generation (20-25 lets say). they had carbon fiber hoods. CARBON FIBER? the xB (BOXY one) has to be the most inefficient drag reducing thing i have ever seen (aside from the stealth fighter (brick) since they never bothered to take the second dervivative....)

 

I think Toyota put emphasis on marketing Scion for young people who can't afford to buy sports cars or big ugly, road hogging SUVs. I praise Toyota for putting out the Scion; YOUNG PEOPLE *COUGH COUGH* TEENAGERS SHOULDN'T OWN SPORTS CARS!!

 

Exactly! I just wanna know who would want to drive around in a freaking crate!

 

This one is pretty sweet. I think it just came out. You can get a TRD supercharger for it.
