Scion XD Forum - View Single Post - Why do you think more Scion xDs aren't sold?

I think your asking the wrong crowd. We all tend to like our XDs, and can't think why others don't. I see quite a few around where I live, and if someone will give me the time I'll bend their ear and tell them how great I think it is. I think if it was advertised more (at least as much as the TC) and if it had more aftermarket support it would sell better.

I came from a 04 Tacoma 2.4L auto, and I really appreciate the handling/gas milage/5 speed/sound system/just plain having a back seat. I do wish Toyota would have graced us with a Corrola trans though (taller gears). When I was shopping I wanted a Honda Fit or a Scion XD or a Suzuki Swift (which never came to America). I also would have liked a XB gen 1 with the 2ZR-FE, but that didn't happen. The Fit would have to be the sport model to be similarly equipped as the XD, and the XD was noted as having a better ride and better acceleration so I bought the XD. I've never though twice about it, and think it's a joy to drive everyday!
