Scion sales have hit a slump in the last 17 months, with a peak of
175,000 units sold in 2006, the youth-marketed brand's sales have
dipped to 130,000 vehicles last year. The solution will likely come
from three new vehicles to be released in the next few years. Scion's
veep, Jack Hollis, told Automotive News in an interview during the Big
Apple bash, that Scion is "studying two or three models in conceptual
form right now." Unfortunately, one of those was the Hako Coupe
concept that was unveiled in New York and was met with considerable
backlash from attendees and those of you following the show from home

It's a 175,000 more than any civilised nation would buy, even the French
wouldn't drive those f.cking things.

Why the f.ck can't the Septics work out that UK doesn't mean "Under
Kanada". We're not interested.

f.cking colonials. A bit premature in demanding their independence IMO

So THAT's what they were. Dealer in Canal Road had two of them on the
forecourt on Tuesday  -  I thought it was a Nissan badge on them as I
drove past.
Your 175,000 may be on the verge of going down a bit.
