Scion is known for trying to be hip with the kids, but I have a feeling its latest concept, the Hako, is a couple steps too far, even for the spikey haired, angsty kids of America. Hako means box and this is very boxy, even more boxy than the xB....
Scion also rolled out its xA replacement, the xD — a five-door subcompact based on the Toyota Yaris. Did we mention it's small? Anyway, the xD is more squared off than the Yaris, one of which was recently mistaken for a Hostess Sno-Ball, and...
No idea where they got it from or how they got it Seems Car and Driver is actually the ones who broke the embargo, but since GM Inside News broke it earlier this AM, we've got it here — the new Scion xD, pictured above, and the Scion xB,...
The guys at ScionLife recently got a look at the new Scion xD — the company's more sedan-like replacement for the xA — at some sort of no-photography event where alcohol was served. One of them sketched what he saw (above), despite...
ToMoCo continued it's dominatrix-like smacking of FoMoCo, as the automaker from the land of the rising sun reported sales of 196,695 vehicles during the month of November. That's a 15.9% increase in month-to-month sales from 2005. That broke down...
Toyota announced this week that the square xB and the, er, turnip-shaped xA will be history after this year. The now-iconic xB and less-so xA will meet their production doom in December, but they'll be replaced in mid-2007 by two, 2008 models yet...
Toyota couldn't ask for anything more — reporting their best-ever first-half sales in history. They hit calendar-year-to-date sales of 1,223,542. June sales were up 14.4% over last June. Toyota saw the Camry lead their passenger car...
Despite sales numbers indicating folks in their golden years are snapping up cars like the Scion, Toyota's entry-level threesome of the xA, xB, and xtC are still branding thesmelves for the whipper-snappers. Toyota's asked its Pasadena-based ad...
According to J.D. Power and its squad of Associates, the average new vehicle sells in 58 days so far this year, an increase over 54 days in the fourth quarter of 2005, but a drop (in the right direction) from 66 days year-to-year. Of course,...
Like an Amazon addict with no semblance of an outside life, the Forbsies are up to their old Listmania tricks. This time they take on, brand-by-brand, 2005's best-and-worst-selling cars and trucks in America by nameplate. The list is after the...
