Note to Toyota: Bring back the Scion xB, first gen.

We buy the box, not the brand.

If you still made those, we’d still be buying Toyota.

The Scion brand was intended to draw first time buyers into the Toyota brand, without cannibalizing Toyota and Lexus sales.

Oldsters not interested in power but liking reliability, functionality, and a low mark-up bought them instead. So, Toyota killed the brand.

I also like the boxy shaped vehicles. That tailgate slope loses a lot of volume. I travel back and forth to Florida yearly and need that space.

Had a Ford Flex. Loved it. They don’t make them anymore.

Got a Hyundai Santa Fe. The revised model is boxy and I got the Hybrid. Great mileage. Almost the same interior volume as the Flex. So far so good.
