Where are Scion's made?

[WantonXB]

Hi all I'm a newbe to the forum and have a couple questions.

I ordered a new 06 XB Black manual and was told about three to four weeks??? I'm at week four and no XB?? What is the average delivery time.

The other question is where are the XB's manufacture. I was told Japan and another said Kentucky??

Scions are made in good ol Japan.

yep, its 100% made in Japan. i not sure about the delivery time, i got mine when i walk into the dealers...

Except the tC. The tCs are made in Kentucky along with the Camrys, mainly because the tC is only available in North America.

The xB and xA are all from Japan. xB variant to the Toyota bB, and the xA variant to the iSi. And I was right about the new 2006 models changes. The lights are awesome and so are the new bumpers. Too bad though, because there's plenty of the 2006 models here in California.

well, when my cousin got her tC before i got mine, the window sticker said that its 100% made in Japan too. not sure about the '06s...

The tC is made in Japan like the other Scions.

I'm at week 6 of my "waiting period". I ordered a white xB w/a manual tranny..
I was called last week to be informed that "You didn't get it in July, August, and we doubt if you'll see it in September"...
If I had ordered something a bit more flashy, (OK, anything with an Auto Tranny), I'd have the car by now. They've been trying to pawn off used ones on me for the last couple weeks. My reply was that I didn't "order" something used.
I guess patience will be the key..??..

On the other hand, I had $3K to put down on the car when I ordered it, on top of the $500 deposit. I now have $6.5K to put down.. Hell, by the time it actually arrives, I'll be able to pay cash. Of course that'll be 2007.

Yea, I'm patiently waiting on my box too. The dealer tried to sale me a blue auto but I ordered a black stick. I order 18" Zinik wheels and BF Goodrich Kdw tires through the dealer, not sure if they are coming through on this part of the deal either??

From what I gather, when you order, you're just placing your name on a list for the basic car (ie. color/tranny) and the dealer installs the rest.
All I ordered was the basic xB with fog lights and the arm rest. I plan on mounting or having cruise installed afterwards.
When I "ordered" the car, I was told that when you ordered it, they made it and shipped it.. Sounded too good to be true, and it was.
It's allocation at it's finest. Order it, and sooner or later (we hope) they'll make one and have it in your area to go to your dealer.

Oh well, I still have my T100 in the driveway.. Although, I stuck $50 worth of gas in it tonight for driving it 360 miles.

When you "order" a Scion that just means you get on a list for what vehicles that are allocated to that dealership.
I still want to know what city in Japan is home to the xB/bB Plant

if the vin# starts with a J then it is made in Japan.

The dealer can search other dealers and trade for the one you want. Since the prices are all the same I made sure they could get the one I wanted. No car no deal. They found the car.

dealers dont install anything. everything ordered with the car, minus the transmission, is installed at the long beach port. this means the stuff like radios, subs, speakers, taillights and interior lighting kits.

[bB626]

really? i got my OEM spoiler installed at the dealers.

[pjsammy]

can't speak for today, but when I got my tC in August 04 it sat on the dealer lot w/o a radio. i picked the one I wanted and they installed it prior to me signing the papers and what not.
