Here we go again. Once more Japan gets to keep all the hot cars we only dream about having. Now I wouldn't be so angry about this particular one as it is but a peanut of a car, and I probably wouldn't own one myself (I need a little more bling than that, like an Escort on 24s), but it's just the fact that in place of the Vitz, which has an aftermarket parts catalog at least a yard thick and can be made into one of the hottest pocket rockets on four wheels, we get the Scion xA. The Scion xB isn't so bad. Based on the Toyota bbX in Japan, that shoebox on wheels has the potential to entice the Gen "Y" age group that it was targeted after and fits rather nicely into its niche with the other new cubes on the road. (Personally I think I'm just Gen "O" for old.) The xA isn't a bad car per say, but the Vitz is just infinitely more popular and would have probably had more impact.
