Ya know, I was thinking about this. Toyota came out with the Scion xB, which a lot of people say they DON'T like, but then why did Nissan and Kia rush their copies to the market? Perhaps US sales are bad, but the rest of the world must be buying... > > > "Hachiroku ????" <Trueno(a)e86.GTS> wrote in message > news:pan.2010.01.26.23.05.39.973020(a)e86.GTS... >> On Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:08:16 -0800, Uncle_vito wrote: >> >>> Well I have a Highlander.

From: Mike Hunter on 27 Jan 2010 19:42 The Scion only sold well the first two years, sales have been declining rapidly ever since. The strange part is the average age of Toyota buyers keep moving up. The Scion was designed to be popular with young buyers who would move up to other Toyota models. The average age of Toyota buyers is approaching 50 and they have more women buyers than men. In reality the average age of Scion buyers is even OLDER, curious.

The tC was selling well with the younger crowd; I'm one of the only old men (sigh...52) I see driving one. The xB was aimed at the younger crowd, but only people over 40 are seen driving them. > > > "Hachiroku ????" <Trueno(a)e86.GTS> wrote in message > news:pan.2010.01.27.18.12.27.313067(a)e86.GTS... >> On Wed, 27 Jan 2010 12:22:34 -0500, Mike Hunter wrote: >> >>> Perhaps because Toyota is too embarrassed to admit it makes the poor >>> selling Scion. >> >> Ya know, I was thinking about this.
