[edit] Nice new version! Who wrote it?

I like the much more neutral feel to the expanded article that was posted today. Who wrote it? It's good stuff. -- Che Fox 23:00, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

It still has quite a lot of marketing-speak that could put it in the spam hause if not removed.

Pardon my bluntness, but it reads like a press release! It still needs a rewrite. Rhobite 06:32, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

The people who object to "marketing-speak" and "press release" are free to rewrite the relavent article(s) to a more acceptable level. Considering that we are talking about a transportation device and not some item of supreme importance I don't care if the article is "marketing-speak" or a "press release" as long as it has useful information.--TGC55 03:53, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

"The Scion car" and "the US Division of Toyota" aren't quite correct and don't make sense grammatically - Scion is a Marque of Toyota, but is not "the US division" - Toyota of America is the US division. And there's 3 different models, Scion is the name of the car maker, not the car, just as Lexus is the name of the car maker in the phrase" Lexus IS300". Just my $0.02 to explain my edits. -JoshW 05:01, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] monospec?

Maybe this term "monospec" should be defined or have its own article. Not many relevant results on google. --Kenyon 17:20, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 0.43 cents per mile.....

I was blown away when I first read that the xB costs ".43 cents per mile" to operate...

then after rereading I noticed that, while there is a $ there in front of .43 it was also followed with "cents".

I don't know what the answer is, but I bet it's 43 cents per mile ($.43) and not .43 cents per mile............

small issue, but it had me mislead at first..... "$.43 cents per mile" can be read tow different ways --- so it's worth correcting IMO.

[edit] Project Genesis Failure and Gen Y

Scion grew out of Project Genesis and its failure, however in this article that is not really expanded on, nor is it in the article about Project Genesis.

There are theories that abound about why Genesis failed and Scion succeeded, should Wikipedia include those, mainly the plausible and notable ones over the conspiracy theories, in order to maintain a better history section in this Article on Scion?

Oh uh, that was Scryer360 above who posed that. Yah, uh, you know, me.
