(autoinsidernews) - Toyota has announced that it will end production of its 2006 model year Scion xA and xB in December. They will be replaced in the Scion lineup next spring by two all-new models sold as 2008 models. Because there will be no 2007 xA and xB models, Scion will only have the tC coupe for its 2007 model year, reports Trend.
The xA and xB will always be very special models for us and have contributed greatly to Scion's success, but we're ready to move into our next product phase, said Mark Templin, vice president, Scion. Scion is a laboratory for change and we will continue to experiment and evolve to meet the needs of our customers.
Templin provided no additional details on the replacements. The Scion brand was launched by the xA and xB in California in June 2003. Scion has sold 72,011 units of the xA and 139,091 units of the boxy xB.
