September 12, 2006 – Torrance, CA - Scion, from Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A. Inc., will launch two new vehicles in spring 2007 to replace current generation xA and xB.

"The xA and xB will always be very special models for us and have contributed greatly to Scion's success, but we're ready to move into our next product phase," said Mark Templin, vice president, Scion. "Scion is a laboratory for change and we will continue to experiment and evolve to meet the needs of our customers."

xA and xB launched in California in June 2003 and completed their nationwide rollout in June 2004. Since their launch 72,011 xA's and 139,091 xB's have been sold nationwide through July 2006.

Production of the 2006 xA and xB will conclude in December of this year. The two all-new vehicles will be designated as 2008 models when they arrive at Scion dealerships next year.

So, that means there are no 2007 models?

Yeah, I've been crusing the Scionlife website and apparently the xD is going to replace the xA, and its a registered name so...but there is a Scion party I think in November or December and its in Miami and I think it has to do with the new Scions coming out, or at least part of it. I'm really excited and can't wait to see what Scion comes up with next. Its pretty obvious why the xB outsold pretty much the other models, I personally like the xA the best, and the tC is another catagory. I test drove the xB awhile back and I thought it was nice and spacious, but if I would get a Scion now I would go for the xA just cause I like hatches and its not as popular so I would feel more "unique." But whatever!

I wonder if the new Scions will debut either at the end of this year or in January?

I wish they bring avenis here to stateside. It would fill the gap i'm seeking. Cheaper than rolla, but a fresher face. Sorry Yaris is nice, but its loud (at least the hach i'm driving today).
