Checkered Flag

The new 2010 Scion tC Release Series 6.0 has been revealed.  The new limited edition coupe is coated in Speedway Blue paint, whi you may recognize from the off-road dream that is the Toyota Tacoma X-Runner.  Scion fanatics can get their first peak at the new tC this week at the Chicago Auto Show, and we should have our first one in the showroom by March.  However, if you're looking to get your hands on one, I would reserve it now.  There are only 1,100 models being produced, and at the unreasonably reasonable price of just $18,620 for a manual, and $19,420 for an automatic, they will not stick around long at all.



In addition to the Speedway Blue paint job, Release Series-exclusive touches include a matte black vinyl graphic running down the side, corresponding bright blue highlights on the steering wheel and seats, and a specially tuned 200-watt Alpine audio system with iPod/USB jack, and a 4.3-inch GPS touch screen.

"Say, what kind of pickup truck is that?",  "Oh, that's my Scion."  Doesn't sound right, huh?  Or does it?  That is the question of the day.  I just read an article indicating that Scion is considering adding a compact pickup truck to their funky, youth-oriented lineup.  While they were careful to say that nothing is set in stone, and the idea is just one of many possibilities, I think it could be pretty awesome.

Scion General Manager Jack Hollis had this to say, "Toyota has such a strong heritage of doing a very good job with youth and with trucks, when you look at (the Toyota) Tacoma - I'm not trying to be too cocky, but we pretty much have owned that segment for a long time. We have to find a niche. I think there is room for it."  Sizing down already small vehicles has been Scions thing all along, so why not miniaturize a small pickup and hit it hard with the quirky stick? 

My mind immediately jumps to an image of the Subaru Baja, but less awkward looking, and with more edgy-cool Scion-ized styling.  It will be interesting to see if this idea pans out.  And more interesting to see what they call it.  "xE" is up next, but I'm pretty sure there's a Nissan model with XE as a trim level, which is why Scion couldn't us xC, it was a Mercedes trim level.  So xF.. that's a Jaguar.  xG, perhaps?  Let me know what you think about a Scion pickup.  Would it be a hit?
