Anyone seen this yet? They haven't released much info on it. I'd never buy a Kia, at least they are trying something new.

Color looks familiar...

Saw it at the Phoenix Auto Show Thanksgiving weekend. It wasn't bad, but it didn't interest me enough to give it more than a quick glance.

The box may just be the "new SUV," only a MUCH better road vehicle.
Toyota is just "ahead of the curve."

I think this has been mentioned somewhere else in the forums, but I read that this is going to be released in Spring, 2009.

You know Toyota hit the nail right on the head if all these "Scion like" autos keep appearing. I'm sure some people will like it just like some people like the Smart Car. I'll stay with the xB thank you.

 

[TartanJack]

Toyota is shortly going to build their version of the SMART.
Worldwide, it will be called the iQ. The US version will bear the Scion brand as the Scion iQ.

If the rumors (discussed on the Other Scions section of the forum) prove accurate, in the next couple of years we will have:

Scion xD
Scion xB
Scion tC (an updated version of the tC closer mechanically to the xB and with a new body)
----- Edit: Newer reports . . . the next gen tC will be co-engineered with Subaru and be RWD
Scion iQ (a SMART competitor)
(Those 4 are CONFIRMED)
Scion pickup (presently nicknamed the xP among Scion-fanatics, maybe based on the xB and maybe not)

POSSIBLY, something between the xD and xB that is more like the first gen xB.

If all three new models go through, we will have 6 Scion lines.

Giving ideas to the surfer one . . . ?

 

[jasondean]

Saw a Korean model in a showroom the other day. Looks like Suzuki Side Kick to me. Not that much room either. I don't think Scion/Toyota has too much to worry about as far as it's concerned.
