Re: Sema 09: Scion

For some reason, I really like that TC.

Re: Sema 09: Scion

The 0-60 Xd is symptomatic of this effort.
There is some potential here, but I'm not certain whether scion is trying to reach youth or elderly customers seeking youth. I suspect the latter.
The Xd should be definitely be used in all scion advertisements.

Re: Sema 09: Scion

The interior of the Bowls Xb doesn't match the exterior treatment. Seems to be a half-hearted attempt.

I'm going to guess that it's airbag pressure since the car looks to be aired down in the pic.

Re: Sema 09: Scion

I swear it looks like that 0-60 Xd was beat to death with a JC Whitney catalog. Oh my frakkin' dog. What a joke.

Yeah, GMC can't bring that Gamma II Xb killer soon enough.

Re: Sema 09: Scion

To Toyota:

Kill Scion now.

Young people aren't buying these and the old folks driving them wouldn't even consider any of your concepts.

ok.... how come no one complains about hard plastic interiors in a scion... but in any other vehicle, the main complaint about an interior is it being made of "hard plastic"?!?!?
