Scion is a sub-brand of Toyota created to market a more "youthful" styling in the US and extend its reach to a younger audience. While this car is basically a Toyota Yaris, it offers different styling and more upscale appointments, while retaining great fuel economy and Toyota's reputation for building great cars. The Scion also uses a larger engine, the same 1.8 liter engine found in the Toyota Corolla giving it more power. Of the three different car models currently offered by Scion, the xD gets the best gas mileage. Perhaps because of the somewhat conservative styling though, xD's aren't selling as well as Scion had hoped, so shoppers are in a good position to get good deals at the local dealership.
