Toyota should either pull the plug on Scion or move it out of Toyota dealerships and give it the products it needs to thrive. Either way, the iA and iM are the wrong cars at the moment. People are choosing cuvs more and more everyday and this is what Scion should be offering. Instead, customers will be walking into the Scion showroom, look at the cars and walk out with a Toyota.

A misfit considering Mazda won't sell it here which tells us something and for a car this size you can get a revamped Yaris with a Toyota badge. Not sure how much more water Scion can tread before they drown. The iA and iM don't appear to be the lifesavers they need.

well Yaris is a hatch and this is a sedan... so there is quite a huge difference there... my beef is that it isnt a Toyota. iM is what Scion should do - bring international Toyota's that are not available in the USA.

Between those two vehicles though, it seems like Scion sales will double next year.

Then new small CUV is coming next year... so by 2017, Scion should be well resurrected.

I read this with some amusement because Toyota and Scion leadership in Canada have decided that what is known as the Scion iA in the USA will be badged as the Toyota Yaris sedan here in Canada.

My guess is that the powers-that-be decided that Scion does not need a sedan, but the Yaris is popular enough here in Canada that it needs a big brother to the Hatchback (or that the Yaris will sell even better with a sedan in the lineup).

But the Yaris Sedan (and Echo before that) has always had at least a passing resemblance to its Hatchback sibling. This new one, however, will obviously look like an adopted child.
