Compared to the tC and the new xB, the xD will still be the runt of the litter. For the money, the tC goes toe-to-toe with the Honda Civic Coupe. The new xB addresses most of the shortcomings of the old model (lack of power, more space). The xD is left to battle against Hyundai, Kia, and the rest of the Koreans nipping on Toyota’s heals. It barely does better than the Fit, but the Fit is now 7 years old and will be redesigned soon.
Hate to say it but I think the xD will be a bigger bomb than the xA.

I like it. It’s reliable, economical, and different.

Ther’re just kids who can’t afford much else and don’t realiza that a Hyundai accent or a Kia Rio is a better car

I think I would rather walk or take the bus than drive one of these.

The fact that these things sell is proof of how many idiots there are in the world.

One word: FUGLY!!! A Fit would probably think it’s an Aston Martin or Ferrari when parked next to this. Cars this ugly make all the normal cars suddenly look beautiful in comparison.

I think the honda Fit is much better looking personally & they cost pretty much the same.

jjturkey is right.. the article is pretty misleading in withholding information about the xD engine, inferring that the new model is similar in size and mileage to the xA, and all that changed is the styling. The article neglects to mention that the extra $1150 gets you a substantially larger engine compared to the xA and Yaris (1.8 vs 1.5) yet yields similar economy. I’m no Toyota fan, but I had to point out that this article is factually lacking.

It’s a Yaris 5-door. And people wanna talk to GM about cheap badge engineering?

I don’t think that’s gonna have the new xB mill..its economy is way down.

I like what toyota has done with scion. they know who they want to sell the car to, and what they can pay.

doesn’t talk about the engine, but i’m assuming its a 1.5

Not my kind of car, I’m a grown-ass man, but there are those …

That’s a substantial increase for the people in that market but the Scions have been surprisingly well built do they shouldn’t be able to complain.

Wow $1150 more than the last model. If you can’t afford that, you need to donate plasma until you have enough money to buy a boomstick at S-mart and blow your head off, and quit breathing my air.
