In a class, a car park, a piece of wasteland, in fact anywhere that it can be on its own, is fine by us.

Want to be Scion Xb owner?

We think that a pre-requisite for owning this car should be that you live alone and have no intention of ever meeting someone special. However, if you are already married, but unhappy, and want to be separated, then this is the car to end it all.

"Honey I'm home!"

She takes one horrified look at the square snub-nosed eye-sore on wheels and says,

"Either the car goes or I go, make up your mind."

Of course the mind is already made up and the divorce papers are in the post. You daren't deliver them personally, just in case the Scion doesn't make it to the end of the street and back.

But what do you expect at that price?

Style, speed, economy? And how about some street credibility that doesn't get you labelled The Scion Xb dork at number 32! Well for $14.625k from a Toyota subsidiary, that is expecting quite a lot actually. Anyway, talking money, if you go the Scion website and complete the Build a car program, you can end up with a $19k ugly bug. What a waste of $2000 worth of 19" alloys and Sirius Satellite on demand. But the racy gear shift is a real chick-pulling bargain, hey!

Keep up to date with Scion

Pictures are worth a thousand words, which is a lot more than the Scion Xb is worth. But don't be put off by our piss taker attitude. Check out the Scion video compilation . Also, you can subscribe to the web feed feed://www.youtube.com/rss/tag/scion.rss for the latest and greatest moving pictures of a brand with a destiny.

Yes, Scion Xb is destined for great things in countries where style and class come a distant second to everything. But, hey, piss taking stories about the owners of Escalades from Cadillac are for another day.
