Scion xD – 2008 Review: Forget the Fountain of Youth. Scion, Toyota’s youth-oriented brand, has been a fountain of profits since its launch in 2003. Most of its success has been with the boxy xB, while Scion’s other original model, the xA, was less popular. Now the xB has been redesigned and enlarged, and the xA dropped. But for fans of a small, somewhat boxy look, Scion offers the xD. It looks hip, drives well and sips gasoline. Just the combination to attract even more buyers to feed Toyota’s youthful fountain of profits.
