Say So Long To Scion After 2016
Since 2003, the auto brand Scion has positioned itself to lure the young new car buyers. With Generation Y or Millennials in sight, Scion’s vehicle…
One vehicle not joining Toyota in the transition is the two-door Scion tC. Introduced in 2004, the tC will be remembered as the brand’s most popular face. The Scion tC accounts for 418,235 vehicles of the 1,092,675 produced between 2003 and 2015. Fittingly enough, the two-door coupe will have a pivotal part in the wind-down of Scion. A final Release Series edition Scion tC is planned and will likely be the last new impression from the brand when production ends in August 2016.

In 2014, touchscreen audio systems became standard on all Scion models becoming the first non-premium vehicle line-up to do so.
While Scion owners will be relatively unaffected by the change since Toyota services still apply to past and current vehicles, there is no doubt going to be an adjustment made to the automotive landscape in North America. With 1,004 dealerships and their employees, the next several months will consist of a wind down of what was an enthusiastic and focused brand identity.
