City Car Comparison
October 10, 2008
Low-buck satisfaction in the most expensive city in the country. (We didn’t think it was possible, either.)
“Take a bunch of cars to New York City? On purpose? That has to be the dumbest damn idea I’ve ever heard.”

Noise, Vibration & Harshness: Scion at Five
October 10, 2008
Scion at five: lost so soon? Toyota’s “cool” brand is already becoming normal.
It was a pretty big deal and the verbiage was flying grandiosely when Toyota dropped the news at the 2002 New York auto show that it would launch the Scion brand the following year. Rising from the primordial hipster ooze of its Genesis marketing group, which Toyota had spent four years talking up, Scion was meant to show the automotive industry the way forward. Scion was also supposed to teach its parent corporation a thing or two about the new “wired” world. A branding hothouse, it would serve as a “proactive” experiment in connecting with the younger demographic, one the sixty-something Toyota felt drifting ever so subtly out of its gravitational pull.

It’s orange, it’s boxy, and it sure is funky. Have a look at Scion’s idea of a coupe.
2008 Scion Hako Coupe Concept
October 10, 2008
A teasin’ that’s not so pleasin’. We’re hoping this boxy concept doesn’t presage a tC replacement.
With the release of the new xB and the xD last summer, Scion‘s tC coupe is now the oldest model in the lineup, so the company’s thoughts no doubt are turning to a successor. If the Hako coupe concept is an early indication of Scion’s thinking, we’d urge the brand’s management to think again.

2008 Scion xB Release Series 5.0
October 10, 2008
No, Scion isn’t putting a V-8 in the xB. The 5.0 here represents the fifth in the youth brand’s Release Series.
Like a teenager, the more the Scion xB grows, the flashier it wants to dress.
