Want To Get a New Car? Check Out The Toyota Scion Xp
Toyota’s Scion lineup has been wildly successful, and with the ongoing enlargement of the brand Toyota plans on releasing a new vehicle dubbed the Scion xP–the letter ‘P’ for pickup of course! And, like all of Scion’s other products, the vehicle will appeal to the previously ignored Generation Y crowd searching for a hip, urban vehicle.
The Scion van is unlike your classic entry-level pickup and is modeled after the Fuse idea vehicle. The xP sports numerous trendy and urban styling features similar to it’s Scion counterparts as well as some new and innovative features. Some of the jazzy features include a tailgate that unfolds into a seat for two, rear unfolding speakers, and a beverage cooler in the rear center console. Sketches of the car exemplify an “urban-esque” pickup with, assertive styling features, a low and tall body profile, and even a hood scoop. The engine specs are quite conservative for the truck–a 161 horsepower, 2.4 cylinder engine is under the hood, which should provide reasonable fuel usage for an entry level pickup.
According to pickuptruck.com, the MSRP starting price of the xP is estimated at around $12,000 which is significantly inexpensive for the features, options, and styling the coupe sports. Most analysts are envisioning the xP should do quite well in the entry-level pickup segment as the sole “real” competitor is the Ford Ranger–a little pickup that hasn’t seen any improvements for quite a few years now. Another benefit for Toyota, is that once they hook some of the younger buyers with the xP, they can than transition them to their “more mature” Toyota Tundra. This may enable them to keep long, satisfied shoppers coming back for more.
The Scion xP is lined up to be released in 2010. It wouldn’t be a surprise to me if the car outsold the Ford Ranger, and helped Toyota to further increase their market over it’s “Big 3″ rivals. The test of time will tell, and consumer response will soon unfold after the 2010 mark is shortly reached.
