Scion is an offshoot brand launched by Toyota in the US to appeal to younger buyers and the company is considering extending Scion sales elsewhere in the world.

The boxy, van-like Scion xB has proved popular with customisers and van-fans who have kitted their cars out with all manner of accessories, immensely powerful stereo upgrades and shag-wagon trimmings. This bB looks to be a likely contender as that model's successor.

The tinted windows, lurid lime-green metallic paint, nightclub-style interior lighting and nine-speaker audio system all hint at the demographic Toyota is aiming for.

Could there be a market for this kind of thing in Europe? It's possible and it's Toyota's main chance to capture younger customers who wouldn't be caught dead in a Yaris, Aygo or Corolla.

[rant]Hey Now My Mom Owns a Corolla,And im Getting A SR5........maybe[/rant] But back on Topic....That looks like it has a WBK
 
Man, Toyota whores out the CP platform and 1NZ-FE almost as much as Nissan whores out the VQ35DE! :lol:

Just off the top of my head:

Yaris
Yaris Verso
Echo
Scion xA/Toyota xA/Toyota ist
Scion xB/Toyota bB

Not to mention that every generation of these cars uses the same 108hp 1NZ-FE.
 
MY Moms Corolla Has a 1ZZ-FE the same one in the MRS.....If Im Not Mistaken
 
I didn't understand it either.
I can only hope he was making a comparison that we won't like Toyotas just for being popular and good-sellers.
 
AHH, my eyes, the original Scion xB was a microwave, this reminds of a microwave that is melting. Don't ask, I'm weird.

Don't like it too much. :thumbsdown:
 
Excuse me while I vomit :puke:

I can just see the Toyota designers coming up with this one in the tea room.
"Hey, that toaster looks pretty cool."
"Yeah, why dont we put some wheels and a hip, young body kit on it!"
"Good idea! That'll reach our demographic!"

No!

"Yea yea yea homez I FEEL ya! I FEEEEEL YA! All dem playas and bitches'll dig it! D oh double G!"
