Toyota Scion 2010

Founded in 2003, Scion is an interesting brand. Owned by Toyota Motor Corporation, it was created with the single aim of appealing to Generation Y consumers.

With the big T suffering the “fridge-on-wheels” image problem with younger buyers, Scion has managed to lift sales where needed. So far the brand only exists in the U.S. and all Scion vehicles are front-wheel drive hatchbacks, but that might all change.
