Toyota looks to expand Scion brand

Quote
“We need to think about how we will bring more young and new customers into the Toyota family,” Hollis said. “Looking at fresh new concepts is something that Scion will be doing more often as we consider the possibility of adding a fourth, fifth or sixth vehicle to our lineup to expand the flow of youth into Toyota and Lexus.”

Hollis said Scion is considering a hybrid.

Seems like hybrids are the way to go these days. I wonder if they'll be considering a diesel....

I doubt it. Diesel prices are rising fast & have passed gasoline prices...

Hybrids won't rule the world until they are cheaper and more affordable. Yeah you get discounts and such for owning one but they are still way to expensive, and slow.

I think they need something like the Ford Mustang, Rear wheel Drive and the 289 hp v6 toyota has with optional supercharger or v-8? Anyways, something like they had in the second generation Celica's

I love that celica

Hyundai is going to do the same

Rear wheel drive would get more attention in the drifting people to.
