2008 Scion Xb Automatic 18" Wheels on 2040-cars
|
2008 Scion XB We purchased this Scion for my wife from a local Chevy Dealer in mid 2008 with only 8,000 miles on it. The person that traded it in upgraded it with the 18" wheels currently on it and added the suspension. The stance is slightly lower than stock but the ride is great. The reason for the trade in was he needed a larger vehicle for work so he traded the Scion in on a new Tahoe. This has been her pride and joy. The original intent was to hand the Scion down to our daughter when she became of driving age in a couple years. Unfortunately the need for a larger passanger vehicle (Mini Van) got in the way of that plan. She hates to get rid of it but it doesn't make any since to let it sit for a couple years until our daughter starts driving. The XB has been a great car always located in Southern California. Excellent gas mileage. It seems to have a lot of power for a car in its class. The motor is the same one used in the 4 cylinder Toyota Camery. It has been serviced on a regular basis and routine oil changes. Currently the XB has new tires, New Battery and New Brakes. Exterior: The Dark Blue paint is in great condition. It has the normal wear. A couple small dings but nothing major. These can easily be removed with paintless dent removal. Interior: Amazingly spacious. Seats 5 comfortably and has lots of room for lugage. The interior is like new. Non smoker. Black Cloth seats. All lights and guages work properly. Carpet is in great shape. Original floor matts are still in it and in great shape. Even has the rear carpeted floor matt. Underside: The underside is in great shape. No leaks. Engine: Runs strong with no noises. No leaks. all Accessories work properly. A/C Blows Cold Trans: The Automatic shifts smoothly as it should. She is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Clean and clear title in hand. I will be more than happy to show the car or take some more pictures of specific areas if needed.

Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S sales disappointing worldwide?
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Okay, folks - it appears we've got a problem. The Toyota GT86, Europe's counterpart to our own beloved Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S coupes, is apparently not selling too well. This, according to Toyota's European Vice President of Research and Development, Gerald Killman, is what's limiting plans for additional variants of the rear-drive coupe.
"A faster version of that car would be at the top of most people's wish lists, but like the cabriolet, it is hard to justify a business case to push either model into production based on the current sales," Killman told AutoExpress. "Personally, I think that engine could use a little bit more," he added.
More troubling is that slow sales aren't limited to the Euro-spec car, with Killman claiming that the GT86 have been missing sales targets in major markets around the globe. It may not be that the US is one of those major markets, though. Scion's Vice President, Doug Murtha, tells Autoblog that his brand is happy with the sales of its version of the GT86, the FR-S. 18,000 units were sold last year, which Murtha says is "generally in line with original expectations for the car."
Scion's SEMA show cars display tuner creativity [w/videos]
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Scion brought four FR-S concepts to SEMA this year and one xB concept, while another three Scion tCs were brought to the show by three different shops that are competing in Scion's Tuner Challenge. The modified Scions range from mild to insane, and show how popular they are in the tuner world.
The Tuner Challenge teams brought unique creations to SEMA, after Scion gave each of them a tC, $15,000 and 90 days to modify it. At 11:00 AM on Wednesday, judges picked the Young Tea Scion Simpli-tC as the winner, the Walter Franco Scion L-DZ Concept got second, and third place went to the Josh Croll Scion WSD-tC. Check out the three videos below to watch the tC builds from start to finish.
Out of the FR-S concepts brought to the show, we're gravitating toward the GReddy Performance x Scion Racing Drift FR-S (top), which has the venerable 2JZ-GTE turbocharged straight-six engine in place of the flat-four that comes standard in the rear-wheel-drive coupe - ready to pump out 750 horsepower - and the Bulletproof FR-S Concept One, which features a striking, handmade wide body and a heavily modified, turbocharged flat-four that puts out 500 hp.
Aston CEO claims Cygnet cancelled because Toyota is dropping iQ in 2014
Sun, 27 Oct 2013While slow sales and a $50,000 price tag may have been contributing factors to the Aston Martin Cygnet being cancelled last month, Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez is pointing the finger at Toyota for the demise of this luxurious little city car. In a discussion with Autocar, Bez is quoted as saying that the ultimate reason the Cygnet was cut is because Toyota plans on dropping the iQ (on which the Cygnet is based) in 2014 - a claim denied by the Japanese automaker.
Interestingly, the article also cites another publication reporting that a Toyota importer in the Netherlands heard the same news as Bez, and it has already stopped importing the cars. If the European Toyota iQ is cancelled, that would likely spell the end of the slow-selling Scion iQ in the US, which has sold just 3,365 units through September (a drop of 51 percent year over year).
Regardless of why production of the Cygnet ended, Bez also says that a lack of support from Toyota on the project prevented it from being offered in the US or receiving a supercharged engine, which are two factors that likely would have made the car appealing to more buyers.
