2008 Scion xD
June 13th, 2007
The brand new 2008 Scion xD is a compact vehicle that is perfect for people who are looking for a small, gas effecient vehicle. Most compact vehicles are not enjoyable to drive because they lack of personality that young people are looking for in a vehicle.The Scion xD is full of personality and is great to drive.
The xD uses a larger 1.8-liter four-cylinder that makes 128 hp, giving the car enough power to accelerate in suburban driving. A five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmission are offered, with the manual returning EPA-estimated gas mileage of 27/33 mpg and the automatic delivering 26/32 mpg.
2008 Scion XB
February 12th, 2007
The Scion xB, put Scion on the map in the United States in 2003. However, its unusual size and engine were definitely better suited to Toyota’s home market, even though its bargain-basement price brought a new meaning to the term “econobox”.
And given that the Stateside success of the Scion brand is primarily attributable to the, highly customizable xB, Toyota saw to it that the first complete, ground-up redo of the bB/xB has us in mind, and thus bestowed it with newfound size and, more importantly, much more power.
2006 Scion tC
November 25th, 2006
Unlike the xA and xB, which look like they could’ve come out of a comic book (and we mean that in a good way — we like their funky yet practical style), the Scion tC is a more mainstream design. Somehow managing to look a little pudgy yet sleek at the same time, the tC has a generic rectangular grille, headlamps with BMW-like “eyebrows” and a body that boasts crisp, clean lines.
Inside the upscale cabin, high-quality materials abound, and features such as metallic accents, damped compartment doors, multiple adjustments for the driver seat and an outside temperature display further this impression. An elegant “waterfall”-style center stack flows into the center console, and both front seats slide forward to allow folks to get into the backseat.
