Scion xB pickup concept coming to SEMA Show
 Not all tuning projects have to be beautiful ones. The stock Scion xB isn`t exactly the best looking of cars, but this retro flavored pickup conversion of the economy compact hatchback that made its debut at the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas can be considered as being extremely ugly. The Scion xB retro pickup concept takes us back to the classic pickup trucks of the 1950s and was designed by Brandon Leung. Heck, I would have guessed that a monkey designed this, but it seems it isn`t the case. Some of the most important features (if they can be named that) of ...

Identity crisis for Scion
 Scion dealers to the older clients: GET OFF MY LAWN! (plus kindly going to Toyota part of that showroom.) Scion was debuted originally in 2002 combating the trend of Toyota in having an average client that was older, over 40. The idea is simple: youth-oriented brand hooking younger people that would graduate later to products from Toyota.

Either is because of the quality product or it's just wanting to have a younger ...
