Scion Hako Concept is as boxy as they come – and that’s saying a lot in this new world of the Cube and other square vehicles.

The interior can seat up to five passengers and the backseat is 60/40-split. It can recline 10 degrees and move forward or back 6 inches. This allows great versatility to the trunk storage space and gives this subcompact an exceptional cargo capacity. The dual-compartment glove box and various hidden storage compartments scattered around the car only add to the cargo capacity.

Further conveniences include an integrated vehicle gauge cluster for easier viewing for the driver, MP3 capabilities, power features, air conditioning, remote keyless entry and more! All of this keeps safe with six standard airbags, including front side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags for everyone and of course the front airbags. Also standard are antilock brakes. Optional safety features include an electronic stability system and traction control; Scion makes sure this vehicle stays safe!

All of this gains momentum with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 128 horsepower. This is teamed with a standard five-speed manual transmission or an optional four-speed automatic transmission. Combine this new engine with the refined exterior of the xD and you have yourself a quality 2008 vehicle.

Nimble, safe and eye-catching are a few words that begin to describe this new Scion vehicle. Check it out today, and follow by customizing it to your liking with dozens of after-purchase add-on accessories!

Appealing to the younger market, the Scion branch of Toyota Corporation has been creating innovative automobiles since 2003. Because of its youth, Scion has few vehicles in its lineup; however, these few vehicles receive star treatment in their construction. The xB compact station wagon is one of these, and it really catches the eye.

The unique shape is what you’ll first notice. One could argue that the boxy exterior resembles that of the Chrysler PT Cruiser. For 2008, the wheelbase and length have been increased and the vehicle now sits closer to the ground. Some styling revamps to the curve of the vehicle, the front headlights and grill also give the xB a fresher appearance for the New Year.

Scion listened to its customers input and has upped the power of the xB. The new 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission with overdrive; a four-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift provision and overdrive is optional. All of this power propels the sizable five-occupant interior. Not only can the passengers fit in with room to spare, but also the cargo space has increased dramatically because of the extended car length. The 60/40-split backseat can also fold to expand the carrying capacity. A trip computer is provided to the driver, and it displays vehicle diagnostics, external weather, gas mileage and more. Other features that come with the 2008 xB include remote keyless entry, power features, an air conditioning unit and audio systems. Of course, the post-purchase add-on accessories that Scion is famous for only add to all of this, except you get to pick only what you want.

In addition, standard with the vehicle are traction control, an electronic stability system, four-wheel-disc antilock brakes and six standard airbags. These airbags include side-impact for the front seats, side-curtain for both rows and the standard frontal airbag system.

All of the new power and standard features only add to the appeal of this aesthetic road machine. The 2008 Scion xB is worth a look at, younger and older drivers alike!

Originally, a Toyota concept car, the Scion tC has become this Toyota-owned company’s compact sports coupe. With some changes in body pieces, technology, power and more, the tC comes back in 2008 as prevailing as ever. Of course, what remains unique to Scion is the option to customize your vehicle with various options after the purchase. This is just the drawing board for which you can draw your ideal picture.

The new silver-colored accents in the interior cabin give a distinguishing look to the center control cluster, dashboard and other sections of the boundaries. The five-occupants that can fit inside stay contented with air conditioning, impressive stereo system, MP3 capabilities and a panoramic moonroof/sunroof. The rear seat is 60/40-split and allows for a 45 degree recline. These confines keep safe with a frontal airbag system, including driver’s knee airbags as standard and optional side-impact and side-curtain airbags to boot. Not only airbags, but also the 2008 tC comes with all-disc antilock brakes and an impressive safety rating under its belt.

The front and the back of the tC have been revised. Underneath the altered front sits a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that is integrated with Variable Valve Timing and a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission with overdrive.

The 2008 tC drives great, is conveniently operated and is a nimble road warrior waiting for you to check it out!
