But unlike Cher, Toyota really means it: the Scion xA and xB will end production this year in advance of two new models coming to the division in spring of 2007. "The xA and xB will always be very special models for us and have contributed greatly to Scion's success, but we're ready to move into our next product phase," said Mark Templin, vice president, Scion. The pair, on sale since June 2003, have sold more than 200,000 copies combined through July. The new models replacing the xA and xB will be 2008 models, Toyota said in a release.Link: http://www.thecarconnection.co....html[/quote]

Aww, don't let the factory's door hit you in the tailgate on your way out, you tacky, ugly bread truck thingy! But their replacements will probably be goofy too. What sort of box will they put four wheels under next time?

Aww mannn and they were freaking awsome and still are. at least redesign the xA! oh well nothin i can do i tried. but now im really intrested to see what they'll bring out next. maybe somethin around the Fuse concept maybe.......

ok sure, the cars are ugly, but they sell like hot cakes. why stop a good thing?

What's next, the xD?

how about DX? "suck it!" perhaps they have GM helping them make decisions over at the toyo HQ?

Even the Edsel eventually became a collectible.

I think its good thing, keep scion fresh is what its all about. the xB looking thing in japan is a little more curvy but still the boxy look so maybe they'll bring something crazy again to the line up! cant wait to see what they have in mind

thats blows about the xb and xa but to tell you the truth i like the xA more then the xb, they looked like pretty fun cars to mod but everything comes to an end

I liked the looks of the Xa. The Xb is kinda fugly. But don't fret there will be some new models comming out next spring labled as 08's. Here's a longer story about them on autobloghttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/0...pring/

Since the Xa's and the Xb's have a time on the lot of about 10 days that means these Scion dealers will be left selling only one model for about 3 months. Maybe Ford or GM should clone those models.Ford stock had a run to $9 - dropped to $8 today. Oh well - if God wanted me to be rich he'd have had me born a Kennedy!

I guess I must pride myself on being a militant extremist fundamentalist ******* when it comes to my hatred for Toyota. That's why I'm still here after leaving the mighty kingdom of Toyota, since I know my presence pisses people off, my mission has been accomplished and stuff... or something... Thank you, drive through.(removed)!BTW, the Scions are still ugly. I can't believe they sold 139,000 xb's, isn't that more than twice the Vibe sales of last year?

Initially, I was just giving my silly opinion and trying to throw a bit of humor in there to boot, it's not the first time someone around here has said not-so-kind things about these Scions. But I get called out for it and get classified as something I'd rather not be classified as. I don't hardly think I'm the type to be going to be going around waging wars or blowing **** up, thank you..... Sorry for pissing in everyone's wheaties here people... Have a nice day!

they have the Fuse and t2b concepts. i hope scion actually produces their concept cars unlike everybody else. http://www.scion.com/showroom/concept_cars/fuse/they loooook awesome!!!

Fuse looks likie a ricers dream with the lambo doors and all already included.

Have a nice day!Last week I attempted to post an "I'm sorry" to Colonel Panic but it must have got lost in cyberspace as it is not showing up here. I was also trying a bit of humor - expressing my view that we should not be so judgmental in the choice of cars made by others, mentioning that the PONTIAC Aztek probably was even less attractive than Scion xB's etc. Would one approach a Scion xB owner at a gas station and say "What an ugly car - you should have been smart like me and bought a (fill-in the blank)."I also remember being unjustly accused of dissing a lady who ended up with a VW Beetle after an unsuccessful attempt to purchase a particular Vibe. Hell, I didn't care what she bought - just seemed like opposite ends of the spectrum - made little sense (to me anyway) to be looking for features A and then make a 180 and get a car with features Z.Anyway - different strokes for different folks as they say.

I would, and have...but that was a friend that was driving it. Right now the Aztek and the Xb are in 2nd. The new Tribeca(sp?) falls in 1st

(with the Element a close 3rd)I once read someone say that it looks like they forgot to take it out of the shipping crate.
