Is The Scion xD the Ultimate Urban Warrior?

Urban, Scion says. The little xD four-door hatchback is for your urban crowd.

By which Scion, a Toyota brand, means it's suitable for the tight confines of places such as this New York borough.

No problems there. Slipped easily through tight traffic. Ducked into a barely there slot at the curb, attracting not an iota of attention from a pair of urban gents involved in a high-decibel dispute, or maybe it was just a discussion that had been urbanized into resembling a verbal brawl.

I'm with you there.. I still think the blazer looks better. Some weird lines on that car that dont make any sense. But then I havent been impressed with the tailfins of the '50's and '60's either.

Toyota makes some of the best looking cars in every class you dumbass. Have you seen a Prius? That's beautiful! Idiot German fanboy.

... because the definition of "ultimate" is "last in a series", i certainly hope so.

The word "ultimate" has nothing to do with quality or performance, despite popular misconception and years of advertising mind-warping upon impressionable consumers.

Now that everyone has ripped apart the little Scion. I am curious, if you had to buy a new car for under $16k, what would you buy? And why?
