R.I.P. Scion

It’s official, the Scion brand was killed by Toyota yesterday and

they made plans to absorb some of the Scion models as Toyotas.

 

Scion never hit their target of attracting young, hip buyers and instead

the same boring old folks who buy Camrys just bought the Scions.

 

Scion never hit any of it’s sales targets and was a total disappointment

to anyone involved with the brand.

 

In 2015, Scion sold a shade over 56,000 vehicles, which amounts to

about two months’ worth of Toyota Camry sales.

Good Riddance!
