Scion Survival: History, Sales, and the Future of the Brand
I know several of us YW people came from Scions, me included. I just reviewed the iA and have had lots of comments about Scion as a brand, so I decided to take a closer look at its sales.

I have hope for Scion. Maybe they'll come out with a great new TC. They have another upcoming car and it looks to be along the lines of a small HRV. Or so AutoGuide says. Offer that with AWD and that should help sales.

Good article btw. And I would have gladly bought an IQ had Scion offered it in a manual and made the interior a little more funky like the Toyota Aygo. The Chevy Spark sold great for awhile, so Scion missed the boat bringing over the Aygo a few years ago. Now that gas is so cheap, probably wouldn't sell. But it's a kewl little car. Funky actually.

With the price of gas going so low lately I have a feeling small cars days are numbered.

But it still doesn't justify buying a F350..

Plus, some of us actually prefer the driving dynamics and feel of smaller cars. I personally dislike driving anything larger than a subcompact (Yaris) or compact (Corolla) - and absolutely detest driving Truck/SUV type vehicles. |

I love cars of all sorts, but prefer smaller ones.

Me too. I just wonder what incentive companies have to build small cars now that gas is so low...
