Hello everyone! Moving overseas for graduate school, so I'm selling my awesome 2008 Scion xB. Purchased a year and a half ago as a certified used vehicle from a Toyota dealer, it has been dealer maintained ever since. Super clean and well taken care of, this is a real gem. Features the premium Scion stereo and sound system with ipod/iphone capabilities (also has aux port for non-apple products) and includes the adapter, steering wheel stereo controls, cruise control, 19" premium Mitsubishi wheels, spoiler, fog lights, tinted windows, color changing interior cabin lights, cold A/C, and more! Has tons of space and hidden compartments for sunglasses and you name what else. With the back seats folded down, I can fit two adult road/mountain bikes in the back without taking off their wheels. Five speed manual transmission that I average about 28mpg in. Needs new front tires, but is able to be driven as is. Some minor scratches and tiny dings around the car, and scuffs on the front bumper from winter, but nothing major. I assure you, this is a great looking car, as you can see from the photos. No mechanical problems whatsoever since purchase and runs great. Recently had the transmission fluid flushed and air filters replaced. KBB $10,500, willing to take less for a quick sale, as you can see from the "buy it now" price!

I am making payments on the vehicle, so I need to receive cashiers check as payment directly from the buyer or their bank. I believe I can also have your bank wire mine directly and have the title directly forwarded to you. I can also accept a personal check given we allow time for the check to clear. I am requesting a $500 deposit within 24 hours of the sale. If you are willing to cover some of the cost of travel, I am also willing to drive the vehicle out to a buyer within the first week of the sale, distance permitting. I am in DC/northern Virginia, and am thinking I could do about as far as Colorado. Message me in advance with your location/situation and we'll see what we can do!

Thanks a bunch and good luck!

Toyota to offer sedan version of GT 86?

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Sources in Australia are reporting that we'll be seeing a small, rear-drive sedan from Toyota, based on the GT 86/Scion FR-S. Yes, a convertible variant is still in limbo, but a four-door sedan is in the works. It's unclear if the rumored GT 86 sedan would spawn Scion and Subaru variants (it's hard to cross all ten fingers while you type, but we're having a go).
Working with remarks made by the car's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada in his blog and a rendering from Japanese magazine Holiday Auto, the Australian site Motoring is claiming that the new model's wheelbase will grow about four inches over the current GT 86's 101.2-inch wheelbase.
Besides the larger overall space between the axles, the sedan will offer a more potent engine option over the current 2.0-liter, flat-four. Promising 268 horsepower, which is a big jump over the current car's 200 ponies, the new powertrain will be derived from the Hybrid R setup, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If, like us, you're reaching for the salt, and we don't blame you.

Aston CEO claims Cygnet cancelled because Toyota is dropping iQ in 2014

Sun, 27 Oct 2013

While slow sales and a $50,000 price tag may have been contributing factors to the Aston Martin Cygnet being cancelled last month, Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez is pointing the finger at Toyota for the demise of this luxurious little city car. In a discussion with Autocar, Bez is quoted as saying that the ultimate reason the Cygnet was cut is because Toyota plans on dropping the iQ (on which the Cygnet is based) in 2014 - a claim denied by the Japanese automaker.
Interestingly, the article also cites another publication reporting that a Toyota importer in the Netherlands heard the same news as Bez, and it has already stopped importing the cars. If the European Toyota iQ is cancelled, that would likely spell the end of the slow-selling Scion iQ in the US, which has sold just 3,365 units through September (a drop of 51 percent year over year).
Regardless of why production of the Cygnet ended, Bez also says that a lack of support from Toyota on the project prevented it from being offered in the US or receiving a supercharged engine, which are two factors that likely would have made the car appealing to more buyers.

Scion iA and iM rolled into Yaris and Corolla lineups for 2017

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The Scion brand may be going away, but most of its cars (sorry, tC) are living on. We'll see the 2017 Toyota 86 (nee Scion FR-S) at the New York Auto Show next week, and the automaker already confirmed that the Scion iA and iM will be rebadged as Toyotas. But instead of standing on their own, the former Scions will be rolled into existing model lines. "Yaris iA" and "Corolla iM" will be the official names of the cars, effective for 2017. It's a smart move, paring the relatively new Scion nameplates with well-known, existing Toyota monikers. Scion spokeswoman Nancy Hubbell tells Autoblog that the iA already exists as the Yaris in the Canadian and Mexican markets, so "that connection was already there." Plus, it's better for marketing. The combination of the two vehicles all under the Yaris nameplate means Toyota can focus its advertising dollars on one vehicle line, simply saying that you can now have the Yaris as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. "The same goes with Corolla," Hubbell explains. She says the existing Toyota sedan and the Scion iM "paired really well," and again, it means Toyota can advertise the Corolla as having two body styles moving forward. There are benefits from a sales perspective, too. Never mind that Scion division sales were already included in Toyota's overall numbers – calling the new cars Yaris iA and Corolla iM means the company won't have to report these cars individual sales separately. It's like when Toyota made the Matrix Â– its technical name was Corolla Matrix, so its individual sales didn't have to be broken out. That means an extra boost in overall numbers for the Yaris and Corolla, even if the cars would have been reported under Toyota's numbers had they kept their Scion badges.
