When you're finally earning money, you want to look like it. Second, the designs are pretty bland. 80% of the people that I see driving Scions are over 50 years old because they're looking for an economical car to drive. To fix the problem they need to either drastically reduce the price or they need to drastically up the style-factor. They could also take a note from technology companies and update the design every year even if the updates are cosmetic only.
