NEW Scion & other stuff I seen at dealership

I went in to get my speaker's checked out. While I was waiting:

I went to the side of the "Northtown Toyota/VW" dealership and there was a SCION outside, and only maybe a room about 10x16ft. had Scion stuff. Flat screen, brochures. Ina glass display, AN INTAKE, STRUT TOWER and other various rice stuff. (Key chains, lights, ect) Apparently, no one was looking or even close to that side of the dealership. Only one scion was there in the parking lot, looks so BOXED up.

Other than that, I walked over to VW. They had teh NEW "W12" VW something there! About 4xx horses !!! 12 mpg CITY and 19 Highway. NUTS! Looks nice though, HUGE AND LONG.

Yeah wtf is up with Scion? And in all their advertisments they show mexicans owning them? I thought this was a car for everybody? And a car that comes hooked up? Wheres the fun in that?? Thats super "Poser-ish"!

I said this a long time ago when I first came across Scion and I'm going to say it again. They are not inrested in building sports cars at the moment and I'm not sure if they will ever be. From the get go I realised they were targeting the Civic Nation car crowd.

They have been pushing the "life styles" bull shit for some time now.

:disappoin

I swear, I don't think that straight up tall box look is gonna sell to many people here in U.S.

yeah they need to look at what young people want in the market and go from there......... cough* WRX, MSP cough*

yeah, the VW Phaeton W12 6.0. that thing is sooooooo badass! it's basically a Audi A8L



yeah, a toyota dealership that my aunt bought her sienna from has that Scion xB. it's not all that bad imo, and the new tC is sweet. Plus for the price, u relaly can't complain.

OK. And you're saying that most young people can afford car payments on those + insurance + whatever goodies they want to add, on their own?

xA and xB were probably shipped over here because it would grab attention. xA is ugly and xB is different enough to make people take notice(although I'd pick a Nissan Cube if they brought that over here).

It definitely created a buzz for everyone waiting for the tC to arrive when the National Rollout happens in June, cuz now I want one instead of a Gen 2 Eclipse GSX.

The TC is also my favorite out of these and its going to have a S/C that will bring the HP up to about 200bhp, not alot of hp but im sure with some other aftermarket products the HP would go higher.
