  Scion (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scion is a United States-only division of Japanese Toyota Motor Corporation founded in 2003.
Scion's long-term goal is to appeal to Generation Y consumers, expected to dwarf the market size of Generation X by 2020.
Scion grew from Toyota Project Genesis, a failed effort to bring younger buyers to the Toyota marque in the United States.

 Test Drive Notes: 2005 Scion xA
Scion is Toyota's "youth brand." We know what you're saying, "Toyota used to be Toyota's youth brand." But that was when we were youths, and Conestoga wagons crossed the plains.
While the xA is a short car (only about ten inches longer than the Mini when measured from headlight to taillight), it's a tall car with a high roof, which leaves plenty of headroom and a feeling of reasonable spaciousness inside.
Scion is a new brand, of course — but under the hood the xA is a Toyota.

 2004 Scion xA - The Car Connection
Scion, Toyota's new youth-oriented division, operates only in the U.S. (with the lineup finally on sale in the entire country), so the same basic car is now sold as the Echo Hatchback in Canada, although the equipment, trim, and tuning of the car is quite different.
Along with its relations the Scion xB and the Toyota Echo, and the MINI Cooper and Saturn ION, the rather small gauge cluster is in the middle of the dash, requiring the driver to bring his eyes over to the right.
This sort of car has been absent from the market for a long time - one that can serve as an excellent commuter car for mainstream suburbia, or one that brings a lot of character and is at least somewhat desirable to youth.

 Testing the Scion tC - Sport Compact Car
Leave it to the Japanese car manufacturers to be on the cutting edge of this new trend, just as the American public is clambering to trade in its fleet of pork-burning SUVs for transportation that's actually capable of beating 10 mpg on the highway.
Scion rates the tC's power output at 160 hp and 163 lb-ft of torque at 5700 rpm and 4000 rpm, respectively.
In handling terms, the most comparable cars we've tested are the Ralliart Mitsubishi Lancer (0.82g and 67.2 mph) and the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V (0.88g and 69.2 mph).

 Scion - Research All Models and Prices - MSN Autos
A division of Toyota geared towards a younger audience, the word scion literally means descendant, usually the child of a rich or important family, so the Scion name refers to both the car and its buyer.
The car is descendant from parent company Toyota, while descendants of Toyota buyers make up the prime demographic.
Scion was introduced to the California market in 2003 with two models, the xA and xB.

 USATODAY.com - Outside-the-box Scion scores with young drivers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Toyota started its Scion division from scratch to aim straight at the teens and twentysomethings of Generation Y, roughly those born after 1977.
Scion has done it with only three models — the racy tC coupe, the stubby xA sedan and the bizarre xB, which has been variously described in the media as looking like a rolling microwave oven or the box that the real car is supposed to come in.
Farley says that to make their personal statements, Scion buyers average $800 to $1,000 a car on accessories, a high-value factor in trying to make vehicles that sell for less than $17,000 profitable.
