Whats up with Toyota not bringing the Scion line to Canada?as i'd love to have a Scion xb in the stable along with my Yaris

In this time of the financial recession, i don't think (even) toyota would do such thing.

Do you know what's involved into opening new dealerships? And i do not think Scion will work good in Quebec. People here are more on the fuel economy side..

Most Scion dealers here in the states use the Toyota dealerships as a launching/selling platform to ditribute their cars.

I don't think I've ever seen a Scion dealer that wasn't attached to or adjacent to a Toyota dealership.

we have one in Arlington that is a stand alone/take over of a former Chevy dealer. But to your point, the Toyota dealer is about a 1/2 mile up the road

It's going to happen sooner then you think, especially if they're going to bring the iQ to NA branded as a Scion.

I would assume they would just sell them out of Toyota dealerships as they are made by Toyota.
As for economy the older versions of the XB were Echo's with a different body,not sure about the newer version.
Since starting the post i have discovered many used XB's http://www.hebdo.net/result/result.a...&type=province
for sale in the Montreal area but at an inflated cost.

Black Yaris · 12-20-2008, 04:46 PM

my body xB is on the NCP Chassis
in Japan they are the Toyota bB

The new xB here in the States is based off the Japanese Toyota Corolla Rumion

Zefoxe · 12-20-2008, 05:19 PM

The Rumion is actually based on the xB here :P

Yep, all the Toyota dealers around here also carry Scion. I have never seen a stand alone Scion dealership.

thebarber · 12-20-2008, 06:40 PM

new scion xB is a camry wagon, lol

Treyz · 12-20-2008, 07:07 PM

Umm I thought the Scion brand was hitting Canada real soon. There should be a thread on it unless it was made before the hack.

thebarber · 12-20-2008, 08:24 PM

ya, its like 2010MY, i think...

Yes, it will certainly be interesting to have the B.C. Toyota dealers carry the Scion line. I see quite a few Scions running around Vancouver and am wondering if people are buying them across the border and driiving them up here.

The scion xA/xB have shorter gears than a yaris (from what i remember from the echofans forum) It cannot have the same fuel economy than an echo.

Black Yaris · 12-24-2008, 01:01 AM

my xB sux gas compared to my Yaris

devinlamothe · 12-28-2008, 10:09 PM

The guy accross the street has the xA. Pretty sweet car except he said he can't get warranty work done here. :P
