Toyota Needs to Drop Scion (Re-upload)


So far this year, Scion sales have been horrible. They only sold 3838 cars in June 2015. Bear in mind, Scion sales have never been too hot.Why does Toyota keep Scion? Scion is terrible and I'm here to tell you why.

There are many issues. One of them is not having many choices. There are only three choices. You can get a sedan, a coupe, or a hatchback, and all the choices are no good.


These "boxes" have plain interiors with silver trim that is easily scratched and  plastics void of color. None of the components seem to be assembled as well as those in cars made by Toyota usually are. Meanwhile on the outside, the hatchbacks are so boxy that the only car that is boxier is the Honda Vamos.

The coupes, as you can see above, are not much better. The FR-S is a cheap Subaru BR-Z. It is also a Mazda Miata coupe, which is its competitor. But, the Miata is better. It is more high tech with more safety options. However, Mazda still manages to keep it light. The tC is a worse than the FR-S. It is not as fun to drive. The Scion tC is just a more expensive and powerful Honda Civic, which is its competitor.

The sedan, the Scion iA is ugly but high tech. It is okay but the looks ruined it from being a good car.


Scion was a bad idea in the first place and it is still bad. Sales are bad. The cars are not unique nor attractive.
