Competition

Take away the hip urban appeal and the Scion xB is just another small car competing in a tough segment. While Scion may have a lock on a certain group of people, for the same money you can get into a Mazda 3 hatchback, a Dodge Caliber, a Volkswagen Rabbit and soon, a Saturn Astra. There’s also the Ford Focus, which isn’t as hip looking but offers a very compelling option in Sync, the digital media management system introduced this year. Given a choice between a peculiar looking box with an iPod port and a dorkmobile with Sync, well, it’s a tough call.
