Report: Scion looking to add more models

Ever since Scion was founded in 2003, it has stayed true to offering only three models in its lineup. Scion originally came to life through Toyota’s Project Genesis after Toyota failed to appeal to young consumers in the United States. Having a main long-term goal of catering to Generation Y consumers, Scion insisted on offering three models to keep it simple.

But now, as sales are growing, Scion is looking to increase the number models in its line up. Steve Hagg, Scion’s corporate manager, told The Car Connection that Scion has ”to expand a bit,” adding that “We have to offer more products, (though) we want to remain small.”

Hagg stated that with the fuel prices running up, fuel efficiency is something that Scion will seriously have to consider. We are guessing that Scion will probably use Toyota’s hybrid technology and add a hybrid model to its lineup.

Oh and we’d also like to see the Fuse Concept go into production.

Bimmermike, you represent the ignorance in the US high society. I'm not saying you're high society but your comments show you know absolutely nothing about the inner city and the people. I won't waste my time discussing politics with an ignorant individual such as yourself, but you are what's wrong with the US today.

"Getto" is actually spelled "ghetto".

I find the pink 3 series shown in the article on Bimmerfest (main page) to be far more of a "ghetto" mobile than any stock Scion.

No, Bimmermike, you're wrong. Mary Kay is deplorable.

Your presumptions about race, ghettos and inner-cities in the US are obviously a result of watching MTV too much--just like any other 14 year old. When you grow up, maybe you'll be able to afford a Passport so that you can enter a sweepstakes to win a ticket to the US (since with that attitude you'll never have enough money to buy a ticket) and see for yourself.

I hate the people on this website that knock each other's cars. We made our car choices for a reason!

"I hate the people on this website that knock each other's cars. We made our car choices for a reason!"

Amen to that. Judging people on such trivial possessions such as the car you drive only brings out the ignarance in you. Many people fail to realise how priviege they are to be able to afford a 50000$ car. Not everyone out there has the financial capabilities to spend their money on a depreciating asset such as a car.

It's hideous, which is as good as it gets for Japanese cars, generally. Better to be repulsive than so dull no one sees you.

At least the Scion Tc has a better body style than the new 5-series,yes I know they don't compete,but I thought I would mention how ugly the 5-series is,pretty much all the Bangel products make my stomach turn just by looking at them!!!

That's a classy concept- as long as the new Scions are attractive, it's okay with me.
