It looks kinda like a very small discovery if you stare at it for a little whilel, but its still pretty ugly. What was Toyota thinking when they decided that they need to enter younger market with this pos? Did they just ingeniously think, "I know what young people want! A box on wheels that looks like hell!" Sure it offers a lot of space, and is relatively cheap, but when a car looks like that whole really wants to buy it?

Actually I really do. Except I say "Look, a Scion!!!!...with another 60 year old grandpa in it!!!!"

Seriously, all the Scion xA's and xB's and Elements seem to be owned by the seniors in this country. Just look at the Scion booth I saw at the LA Auto Show this year.

^ Yeah that's the funny thing. They are suppose to be aimed towards the younger crowd, they crowd that doesn't have much money but yet want a new car.

Instead you have all these older - middle age buying it up.

Oh wells, Toyota is making a killing with their Scion brand and good for them.

We have one as a delivery car at work, absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it. It gets about 1000 miles put on it every week to.
How it looks is subjective, some like it, some hate it. I don't realy like it, but now that i see it everyday, I've gotten used to it. That said, for how damn cheap they are, they are actually not bad to drive. I'm not surprised that I see them everywhere.

Also, i think the Tc is cool beans. I love the roof.

Hell no. Its FF all the way. If it were an AWD it would be somewhat a bit better considering how cheap it is.
