Will he be happy? I don't know. I went from a Corvette to a Corolla to a Corvette to a Sentra, to a CRX to Corvette, and back to a Sentra, to a Miata, etc. I always want something different. I'd probably have an Xb now if my wife hadn't refused to test drive one because she hated the looks.

Steve, since I'm still interested in the Scions could you please point me to the studies showing them to be unreliable?

I'd tell him to wait for the new SC'd one. I think it's the Scion TC? Looks better then the others too

If you're asking for advice from ACTUAL SCION OWNERS, I have an xA, and Docofmind has an xB.

I've had my xA since October of '03, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase!

Let me know if you need any details. Here's a great place to get info:

The Scion tc will be arriving in late June. Price has been set at $16,500 for the 5 speed. My name is on the waiting list.

Oddly the Scion has been a generally unreliable vehicle, near or at the bottom of the various studies.
Oh, shut up, Steve! All Hondas and Toyotas are unreliable to you. And all Ford and Chevy are the most reliable in your book, simply the most reliable on earth. This is an ignorant fool with money. The Scion hasn't even been out long enough for anyone to test its reliability. However, it's basically using other Toyota engines.
