What do you think a Scion is? Too sub par to be a Toyota. Originally it was marketed as a low end line to compete with the >$10K market entries. All the idiotic kiddies rushed to get it drove up demands, and all of a sudden they become desirable cars.

Sad that those kids lost their lives and the others are hurt pretty bad. We have a history of accidents like this in my town. And based on that history and their age, I'm not naive enough to think that neither speed nor drugs/alcohol played a part in this.

The 3 Scion models appeal to 3 different groups of people (which may overlap).

tC (which this car is) - Boy racers
xB - iPod wearing hipster douchebags who want to drive something that looks quirky and European
xA - people who want a really inexpensive Toyota

I don't think I've ever seen an xA on the road.

tC (which this car is) - Boy racers that wanted a cheap ricer, but don't want to spend more on premium rice, so they got a sub par Toyota.
xB - iPod wearing hipster douchebags who want to drive something that looks quirky and European that's sup par Toyota
xA - people who want a really inexpensive sub par Toyota

I don't think I've ever seen an xA on the road.

I'm well aware of the Scion product line up, my statement was directed towards anything Scion. Thanks for confirming though, fixed a few things for ya.

I wonder, I know cars are designed to crumple, but are they also designed to split with sufficient impact?

my condolences, but learn to drive. imagine if there had been another car involved at that speed.

i would say no if death of 3/5 occupants is the result.

They're economy cars. They're similar in price and quality to other economy cars.

Always found it rather odd and annoying that the driver usually lives in horrific (*cough* ones where they are liable) crashes. Meanwhile, the passengers rarely have much of a chance. Same goes for many other cases....

Who would drive one of those POS's anyways?
