Scions

[Ferio_vti]

Has NE one else seen these around town?? They have a couple xB's for sale at Charlesglen Toyota. They seem to be asking a lot for them, $21-28k.
Listings are on autotrader.ca.

[BokCh0y]

I've seen the xB's at Charlesglen but haven't seen any actual xA, xB or tC's on the road or at least in Calgary that is. Seen the tC in Vancouver - had Washington plates on it.

[EK 2.0]

there are 2 differnt Xb's kicking around the N.E. One with spinner hubcaps...its still cool to see I love those vans.

[mike0989]

tC's are not legal in Canada i believe..

[Pihsiak]

there's a white one with a metallic strip decal in the NE.

If ppl can bring in the xB, I'd rather bring in the Aygo...

Sad thing is that the xB runs even slower than the xA...

[Xtrema]

I have also seen on at the airport with Alberta plate.

Silver with grey fire decal across the whole side.

They are all show and no go. I won't even dare to merge onto deerfoot with that thing.

I have seen a light green one around town. I also saw a sign at Henninger last week that you could order one??

:dunno:

the '05 is atleast not sure if newer models will be allowed prolly due to bumper/body restrictions..damn govn't and restrictions.

Charlesglen sells a bunch of US cars (Land Cruiser, Scion's)..

When I was there they were trying to sell xB for 30g...

[Lo)2enz0]

They had one for sale at the toyota in crowfoot. Plus I have seen that cool pea green one a couple of times. Nice vans

[?????]

The light green one has the spinner hubcaps!

[Akagi Redsuns]

I don't see how the xB can be legal but not the Tc? Is it based soley on the bumper spec?

[GQBalla]

yeah ive seen like the pale green one around driven by a girl?? i saw a girl driving when i saw it and it had alberta plates

Probably the same reason a lot of cars are not available in Canada.

Think Evo, R32, Lotus Elise, etc...

[Ferio_vti]

My bro saw a tC for sale too...

well... correct me if i am wrong, but xA, xB and echo HB are all the same cars... maybe that's why they are easier to bring in

where as the tC is a different car.
But Canada is getting the 2.4 which is the same thing as a tC

since they discontinued the celica... they need something sportier than the corolla xrs

[Mokre]

Isn't the Echo Hatchback basically an xA? :dunno:

Haven't seen any xBs

tCs are illegal in Canada:

It's not the bumper spec; if it were, they'd let you replace it with a legal bumper spec and pass inspection. That's not even allowed. The tC is inadmissible "under any circumstance" (my reading of the doc I linked above, anyway), probably due to the seat belt anchorage, or other such minor things.

Of course, the lack of Canadian-spec parts may also be to blame.

I really like Scions, when I was down in Arizona I wandered around a Toyota dealership for a while, the tC is a wicked car, they're uber cheap down there also.

[BokCh0y]

yeah the scion tC is a beautiful ride. To me it's kinda a cross between an IS and a Celica. IS front end and Celica Ass end. Same tire size as the IS also.
