Yeah, I haven't seen too many Scions lately. It's strange because I see a lot of previous generation xBs and xAs. IMO the xD doesn't look all that bad compared to the other models. Of course I still see my fair share of tCs (they're best looking model).

I've seen quite a few new xBs in my area. From what I can tell through the excessively tinted windows, the average age of the driver is probably in the low 40's.

I don't think I've seen any xD's and the car that replaced the xA yet.
They're pretty fugly.

Kia's forgetting that old people buy Scions.

Then you'd have idiots that's confuse North Korea with South Korea, and sales would tank.

How does that make sense?

I don't think people are quite that ignorant. If they know what North Korea is, and what's up with it, they definitely know where Seoul is.

I don't think there is even the remote possibility of this ever happening, at least in the US.  We citizens have been thoroughly brow-beaten by our government into the belief that Kim Jong Il is a member of the dreaded Axis of Evil, the most malevolent force in all of recorded time.  Infinite in their nefarious reach, they are even more powerful than the Superfriends!

I saw an xD the other day.  They're ugly, but less so than the xA.  I also saw a new xB in a parking lot.  I preferred the looks of the old one better.

I think the xD is the new xB, but I could be wrong.

No, the xD replaced the xA.  The xB has been redesigned and is still sold as the xB.

It's a lot less ugly in person. I rather find it's uglyness attractive.

I don't think this car has the hit potential of the cee'd.

I do dig this car.

I like it too.  I think that keenly priced, the Soul could fill the niche left by the xB since it started taking steroids.

That extra bit of ground clearance makes it attractive for places with lots of potholes.



And I like the xD interior a lot more than the xA's

That means it's polarizing. I like it, you don't. That's something Kia doesn't have in their lineup.
