3. the "Porte" will be the replacement for the xb

So i dont know if they are going to release the "Porte" now under the dL badge or if scion has something completly new!

This is the "Porte" http://toyota.jp/Showroom/customize/porte_c.html

peace tjd!

Yeah hoffa916 that might just happen.
total credit for this pic (which I could not resist to use because of hoffa916's comment ) goes to scion admin. I love the pic and knew it was the best one to use for an answer to haffas comment.

Again: According to Jim Farley

Scion life cycles will last only 3 years. Which mean in 2007 there will be a new/rediesgned xA and xB.
The xB name is too successful. i doubt they'd rename it.

The xB HAS to be replaced/redesinged because it doesn't offer side air bags
The xA doesn't HAVE to be replaced because they CAN offer side airbgs in these cars.

Supposedly there is that new brand called VECTOR (i have no been able to confirm that rumor at all, but vector.com is taken so I doubt it).
If Vector does come out you know they'll make sure the nxt generation of Scion will have to be better then vector.

Use some logic people.

Once again you managed to say something that dosen't make sense...."Use some logic people"??? One question I have for you...where did you hear about the Vector thing? Was it here in ScionLife...because remember the information in here is not very credible as per your other post.

As far as the cars gettind re-designed, it could happen but they could also come up with a new design..the fact that the xb is so popular is because Scion is pushing the envelope and being different...why could they not be different and completely take the car out of the market...u follow me?? Like I said before...we are just going to have to wait and see....

This guy is a idiot...Farley had a article where he said they will have a different name and will kill them. Scion isn't about keeping the xB for 2 decades or longer like the Camry or 4Runner. Also you say SL isn't a credible source...even though there has been interviews with Farley. Also this was the first place where I learned about everything. I asked the dealer about the RS xA when I heard about it on here. They said "We haven't heard about it." Also a 300 HP RWD in a Scion name would break everything Scion is about which is affordable cars. Hell Supras go for more then we pay for our new cars so I think you need to rethink your sources because you are sounding like a dumbass. Plus ikhonlord is busting your *****

Can't you just feel the love in the air. *he sniffs* The dandylions smell soooooo good. The good news is that scion will continue to evolve. The fun part of it all is trying to figure out what those evolutions will look like. Just have fun with it. The funnest part is reading what others think the next model will look like. I love it III J u s t cccaaaannnttt get enough oooffff iiiitttttt!!!!!!!! I neeed mooorree!!!!! FFFEEEDDD MMMEEEE!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: AAAAHHH!!!!!!!

another paraphrase from jim Farley.


All BMW's and Audi's have the same styling cues.

All the future Scion's will have the sme styling cues as the Scion tC

I agree with you . I would never drive a frikin Porte it looks like ___. I f Scion does that I will get a tC for that matter. Or even say screw Scion with their ugly Porte. And get a Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe :twisted: I hope Scion has another box like the xB. Or I won't even get a frikin Scion period.
