Scion xB to be discontinued?

Here's "more" on the drop of the Scion xB; basically it'll be replaced with a different model. It's possible that if the new cars are using the same chassis with some modifications there'll be a Chilton/Haynes manual though, it took almost 10 years for me to get one for the Festiva I had (once the Aspire was discontinued..since it was the same car the manual is for both). Maybe they don't want it to turn into the PT Cruiser (of which there is a glut on car lots right now after the initial infatuation):

The 2007s are already out!

I just saw them last week at the dealer I bought my tC at.

Interesting, since I went to my dealer today and there were two BRAND NEW

Mid-year they will be replaced with a 'rounder' version based on the same platform. the xA *may* be phased out in the US if sales don't increase; Toyota was betting on the price of fuel to drive sales.

The tC will be rebadged the "Fuse" and will come with a 'stripper' version for people that prefer to build their own, starting at ~$15,000: 16" steel wheels, simple AM-FM-CD with no MP3 playback, etc.

I think it was Hachiroku who stated:

I bed they're not '07 models. Check again; they're '06 xB models.

That was Toyota's plan all along; to not have any of the Scion models last longer than three years. It keeps the excitement up (and makes my xB hold its value even BETTER.)
