Why are the sedans more widely available with the bells and whistles than the LB's?

Isn't Scion considered more of a youth-oriented brand? And comes standard with a good amount of options?

I guess the only drawback to doing this is the $12k LB now goes to $14k-$15K.

I think that is exactly the point here.

Yes, but Scion is also the low end brand of Toyota.

no its not a low end brand, it is just to appeal to the tastes of the younger crowd. thats why they have a fixed price of 14-17k because it has all the features they wanted. if the lb had a power package available with the 5spd i would totally love it, but all i seen are available in auto.

Agreed Scion sales pitch does not scream economy it screams hipster.

But if they make the sedan avaiable with these options, why not the LB?
