Today we are happy to offer to you an exceptional Scion xB 2 door. This xb was professionally converted from a 5 door traditional xB to the two door version of which only five have been known to have been transformed. Should you win the auction I will provide pictures of the xB through the build process that the original owner took while building this scion. This Scion started its life as a navy blue xB that was purchased by the original owner when it was brand new. He began his build in the summer of 2006 and the build was completed in the summer of 2007. The original owner was sponsored by Bidgestone Tires , Matrix Paints and Bazooka Audio and 20 other full sponsorships. The xB is finished in Matrix Paints Sour Apple Green and the cockpit is finished in leather and fiberglass painted the same sour apple green as the exterior. The interior also features a 22 inch flatscreen and xbox gaming system and pioneer head unit. Behind the Drivers seat rest sixteen 10" Bazooka Subs powered by 10 Bazooka amps. The back hatch at the rear opens to reveal a small seeting area that is lit by neon and is finished in Matrix paints sour apple green. On the front and rear bumper a 6 inch speaker has been added so those not riding inside can also listen to the radio. The xB does have an air ride that controls the rear and the front remains stock. The car also has an extremely loud air horn that is controlled by a button underneath the seat. We are a New Toyota and Scion dealer and purchased this from the previous owner in 2008 to use as a marketing vehicle for our Scion Lineup . The only defects that I have included pictures of are the two in the back rear bumper almost at the bottom ( which were due to straps that we used to secure it when it was transported) and a crack that is in the rear compartment that was due to someone not securing the extreamly heavy rear door befor moving it , which caused a small crack that developed into the one you see today. Please feel free to email me or call me with any questions you may have. This car is a show car and not a daily driver , some modifications would have to be made and that would be left up to the buyer .
We are Fannin Lincoln - Mercury - Toyota - Scion Inc. a new car Dealer in Ashland KY that has been in business for over 50 Years . If you have any questions feel free to contact Michael Abrenica at 606-929-9000 or m.abrenica@ymail.com.

Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
Despite slow sales, no new Scion models in near-term pipeline [w/poll]
Mon, 09 Sep 2013According to a top Toyota executive, the Japanese automaker will not be introducing any fresh Scion models in the near future, Reuters reports. As of August, Scion sales for this year were down 1.6 percent from 2012 and accounted for only 0.3 percent of Toyota's overall US sales. And last month, Toyota Motor Sales USA Senior Vice President Bob Carter informed the 1,000 dealers who carry Scion that they can drop the brand without penalty.
However, never fear - Carter has assured that, while nothing new is coming for at least six months, the company is still very committed to the quirky Scion brand. Toyota launched Scion, which targets the youth market, in 2003, and sales peaked in 2006. The brand currently has five models, with the 2013 best-sellers being the FR-S sports coupe followed by the tC sedan and xB hatchback.
What do you think about Toyota's decision to hold off on introducing new or refreshed Scion models? Are they heading in the right direction, or does this spell doom for the funky Gen Y brand?
Scion reveals iM concept ahead of LA debut
Wed, 12 Nov 2014After dropping a teaser image on us a few weeks ago, Scion has revealed in full the new iM Concept it's bringing to the Los Angeles Auto Show next week. As expected, the concept is clearly a rebadged version of the Euro-market Toyota Auris, only with some "European Racing Circuit Styling" upgrades to make it look more aggressive.
Along with the Scion logos, the five-door hatch is treated to a deeper air dam flanked by angular vents with stacked fog lamps, beefed-up wheel arches linked by widened side sills and filled with 19-inch, anthracite-finish alloys on low-profile rubber. Vented brake discs and four-piston calipers join an adjustable suspension as show-worthy equipment upgrades.
The sporty treatment continues around back with a similarly aggressive rear bumper and roof spoiler. Even the wing mirrors are replaced with narrower units. Little wonder it's all done up in a shade Scion calls "incrediblue" that looks rather similar to what sister-brand Lexus would put on one of its F-branded performance models - or for that matter what corporate ally Subaru would put on an STI hot hatches like the WRX.
