Scion’s future lineup likely to have a stronger U.S. influence
Scion plans to introduce two new products that would likely have a stronger US influence. Currently, only one of Scion’s three US vehicles was designed and engineered in the US. Yoshi Inaba, president of Toyota Motor North America Inc., said that since Scion is “pretty much” a North American brand, he believes that it’s “very natural” to think that more development, more design work, should be done in North America.

Just as Toyota and Lexus does ?

Scion is not needed, Scion was to be, according to Toyota, the "cool" brand that young people will like and will like to be seen in. Unfortunately, you don't decide what's cool or not, buyers does.

FAIL

Now, only old folks are buying it, for whatever reasons, because its cheap, because its practical and fits their needs, but nobody is buying it because its cool.

In fact, its uncool.

Given the current Scion lineup, the only way it is going to gain a stronger influence is if they stop selling their other economy brand... or make the Corolla/Matrix/Yaris Scion only. This will move Toyota away from the economy brand image and attract more customers to Scion. But at the cost of losing some customers due to name loyalty.

Wow!...You really are full of dung..Toyota be moved away from the economy brand image and attract more customer to Scion. Limon are you an idiot! So you think the Prius is for economy minded people alone? Did you know that Celebrities by the thousands have purchased the Prius not to mention the Celicas and other notable so called Toyota economy brand image. The reason these Celebrities buy the Toyota brand is because of its image of build qaulity and appeal you idiot! Cant you see Toyota is using even your negative comments to improve and cause many like you to defect! Or should i say become defectors in the very near future. Got'ta admit we all have weaknesses and your obvious hate for Toyota is one of them....haha!
