They have 4WD ones in Japan? Toyota, bring the AWD Ist here and call it the Scion xA AWD

 

HAHHA Word!

 

Much better looking grille option and new taillights. Wonder what else is refreshed.

Too bad we will never get the G-Book navigation/entertainment option here.

 

you dont know that yet

 

I don't, but I know as the most entry-level car in the Toyota lineup, there is no way the xA gets the navigation option until all the higher models do, including the Matrix, Corolla, tC and xB. In JDM all of these cars can be equipped with the G-Book option but in the US Toyota sees little market for such a high-end option to appear in entry-level cars.

 

Don't know if this is a repost or if Scion released a Press Release on the new models(considering that I dont post as much right now), but I found this on the Scionlife website

An improvement in looks over the current one . . . but still doesn't appeal to me.
