I think its a Yaris!?

Ok so first off let me say that I am impressed that Toyota was the only car dealer that was at San Francisco Gay pride this year!

Anyway I kinda feel like this car is a Yaris (or a really damn good lookalike) I does say Scion on the side but there isnt any thing else on it ad it didnt look like any scion I've seen before!

I guess I just wanted to share!

hmmmm well I do believe your right I think I got distracted by the "bubbly" body kit on it .... plus the fact that I dont think that I have ever seen any of those!

I just thought that it was a super-modded Yaris (kinda wish it was)

How could the xD be mistaken for a Yaris? It looks less like a Yaris than a Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, or Hyundai Accent does.

And how have you not seen one before? I see 50 of them a week and its been out for 3 years.

It's an xD. My wife has one. '08 was the first year for them. The xD relaced the xA I believe. They do share alot of parts with the Yaris. My wife's has a 1.8 L, I believe.

Yup, definately an Xd. One of my ex's got one of these after a tree fell on her Tc...I'm really not impressed with Scion though..the cars look really cool on the outside and are flashy but completely boring to drive. Nothing like a Yaris at all!!

Well to answer your first question the alcohol and the lack of water in the sun may have been a contributing factor to the confusion...

and to answer your second question the two places that I have lived (Maryland and Monterey, CA) the only Scions that I have seen are the really boxy toaster-looking ones and in Monterey its Prius country out here ... Ive only seen like 2 other Yarii in the last 5 months ive been here

How is that a deal killer? 195/60/16 right? Can't be more than 15 bucks more per tire.
