Scion in Canada

[toy_toronto]

Went for my first 8,000km Oil change today at the dealership and noticed they've dedicated a new Scion section in the showroom. I was told that the new cars will be arriving at the dealer within the next couple of weeks... kinda excited to see what these rides look like especially when the IQ comes out in 2011.

neat

sort of explains the 4 gen2 xb's at the last westend...

[yaris2010RS]

+1, my dealership also has the scion area. if only i had waited till now to get my car....lol. GOD I LOVE THE 1st GEN XB

[marcus]

be in in less than 2 weeks,,my buddy works for toyota and hes been getting them scion every day since they install accessories for new toyota and now scions for the past 3 months he said should be within 2 weeks.

[toy_toronto]

yeah pretty consistent info accross the dealerships.

my dealer is in whitby and service manager claims they are the only Scion dealer for the whole Durham region (for now).

The XBs looks sweet and really excited about the IQ.

tC, yes!


Not really sure about price tags yet... all info I could find in Canada are from the Oakville Scion dealer where you can click a link to request for an "Express Quote"

Interesting stuff..I've always liked the look of the tC's. Could be my next car. It'll be a while though.

[thebarber]

id actually like to drive an xD to see what a yaris would feel like with 130-ish hp

[thebarber]

just checked out the scionnation.ca site

xD starts at 17200CAD and the xb starts at 18270CAD

sooo much more car for the xb2...too bad i don't really like it (i drove an imported one last year)

I dunno - personally I'd personally never buy 1st generation of anything - yeah when I bought my Yaris the dealership was renovating space outside to highlight the new Scion / IQs coming out - but thanks I'll wait till at least 2nd or 3rd generation b4 I consider buying one of those

thanx to everyone in 2011 for beta-testing the Scions & IQs 4 me!

The Scions in North America have been out since '06 and out in Japan since at least '00. So if being out for 10 years isn't long enough, how long do you wait to buy a car?

Saturday's Toronto Star Wheels section had a review for all three models and mentioned the forthcoming IQ breifly. Pricing was also detailed for the XD, XB and TC.

Here's the link;

only dealerships in the GTA have scions.

heffner in kitchener said they could GET me a scion, but i want to drive, not buy

Just returned from my local Milton Toyota. With their Scion Grand Opening slated for next Monday, all they currently have are 2 Gen3 xBs, one used Gen2 xB, and one used 2008 tC.

They figure that the iQ will not be here until December.

Hey Bluevitz-RS:

This thread is titled "Scion in Canada" not "Scion in North America," so yeah, Scions have been selling in North America for quite some time now, but not in CANADA.

I live in British Columbia (population of 4.5 million people) - and in October 2010 - there will only be "8" registered Toyota dealerships allowed to sell the Scion / IQ brand.

As far as I am concerned - whatever is released in BC in October 2010 - will be Generation 1 (irrespective of what has been released elsewhere) - so yeah - based on that perspective - I can wait. There's no long term data available on the Scion / IQ Canadian Toyota cars YET.

Might have been a good idea to take a few minutes and list the PROVINCES in addition to the CITIES where the Scion dealerships will be situated.

Valley Scion (which is Valley Toyota - where I bought my 2010 Yaris) is NOT located in Vancouver BC - it's in Chilliwack BC - which is 60-90 mins away from Vancouver.
