Geez Scion is almost selling as many of those 3 craptacular models as the whole Saturn brand. GM needs to step up marketing to kids.

Toyota sold 13500 of rav4 wow. That is what happens gm when you make fuel efficient cars and truck with modern engine and quiet interiors.

Tacoma is doing good. The sad thing is it would be so easy for Ford, GM or Dodge to make a better truck but they don't want the sales or the happy customers.

All Colorado needs is an undated interior and a 275HP 3.6L V6 or a 5.3L V8 and it would be the sales king.

Or provide a small car alternative - like the new Astra! I'm not a huge Scion fan.....but the Ion doesn't exactly take my breath away, either.

Pretty much my sentiment. Saturn's lack of success is not a reflection of poor marketing, per se.

I added to the sales numbers back in May.

Now, wait one minute. I thought the minivan market is collapsing. Geeze, funny that Toyota, who was late to the game with the dreadful Previa years back, is able to find success, huh? And I betcha it's not because of all the yellow Sienna's going to NY fleet, either.

All its there to do is get people into Toyota. Kinda what the Cobalt is supposed to do.
Basically its a "feeder" brand.
