The 2 New Scions: iA & iM - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I still can't get over Toyota selling a Mazda with barely any changes except for the front end. Even the tail lights are the same. The interior is all Mazda 2. The wheels even look the same. They really didn't want to spend much at all.

My favorite Scion ever is still the xD. These new ones don't even look like Scions.

Toyota just fails at front-end design now it seems. What's up with the ginormous fog-light housing caverns on the iM? It's almost as bad as those on the latest Honda Civic Coup and ILX. Ughhh. I guess that I am just out of step with new car designs.

The rest of the iM looks good though - at least to me.

I think the Scion brand should just be deleted.

The iA is the Auris oversea loaded with extras...

I think you meant the iM.

Which brings up another point. These new model names stink.

Everyone is going to confuse iA, iM,...And they just don't sound good when spoken.

xB & xD worked better.

The iM it is. lol

IM isn't that bad, wish Toyota (and everyone else, for that matter) would just grow a pair and get hatches and wagons back here. Looks like Toyota wants to hide behind the rotting corpse of Scion to creep back into that market. I'll replace my wifey's Kia with a minivan first, and in about a year to two years I'll be replacing the Echo...I have candidates but a good wagon would come to the fore as my choice...if it can be bought with a manual.
