Scion xD News

If you think Scion is going to ditch its yin-yang formula of mixing up sometimes odd, quirky cars with daring, sporty models, think again, the brand's chief says.

Toyota's noble experiment, Scion, a division just for youthful first-time car buyers that would get them into the Toyota fold early and keep them with quirky designs, is looking like a bust.

Scion's new iQ model bolsters its claim on the youth market with its tiny size, cartoonish looks, and low price.

Toyota plans to discontinue its iconic Scion xB box car -- and also its ill-remembered and less funky than homely sibling, the xD -- according to Ward's Auto.

Scion recently cut the xB and xD compacts, leading to a more performance-biased, youth-oriented lineup than ever before.
