Over a decade ago, Toyota revolutionized the American luxury car world with the introduction of the Lexus line. In the early 90s, the economy was booming and luxury cars were once again a hit. Toyota succeeded with the Lexus, and it remains to this day the top selling luxury car in the United States.
Now, comes a new trend. A trend which was spawned from the coke-snorting habits of Generation X. It is the ugly car trend.
Each big company has it's own hideous car. The infamous Honda Element (wannabe hummer), the Volkswagen Golf (Ricers seem to be all over this one now), the Pontiac Aztek (Anyone who pays money for that needs to have their heart ripped out on an altar, Aztec style), the PT Cruiser (You'll cruise right by any hopes of getting poontang in that one), and last and certainly least, the Chevy Avalanche (If you get in a collision, the rubber will make the other car bounce off you).
Toyota once again plans to dominate a rising line of cars with the ugly Scion. This includes the shoebox on wheels, and the wannabe Impala.

I had a Scion infront of me. A Pontiac Aztek to my right. A PT Cruiser to my left. And a Honda Element behind me. If I had one, I'd set off my car bomb and sacrifice my life to remove these hideous cars from the road.

Produced by Toyota, this box on wheels is similar to the Honda Element and is targeted at the youth. It features an ugly front end, underpowered engine (hence mediocre acceleration), a non-slanted front windshield (i.e. 90 degree angled), and a higher roof (good for tall people I suppose). Fuel economy is a plus, but not worth $20k.

3. The heir to a throne
In most cases, one plant is selected for its roots, and this is called the stock or rootstock. The other plant is selected for its stems, leaves or flowers, and is called the scion.

1. A brand of vehicles made by Toyota targeted towards the younger generation.

A Toyota brand catering to kids that have seen "The Fast and the Furious" one too many times. At time of purchase, you are able to factory-rice your brand new scion.

A resident of Scio, a town in Oregon, about 25 minutes away from Salem nestled away in a valley with lots of cover from prying eyes, and has earned a poor reputation as a result of the real and imagined events that happen there. This is the stereotypical Scion: animal-molester, tobacco chewer, meth maker/smoker, inbreeding hick, has a hot tub in their front yard, collects rusty cars and various metal goods, cuts hay in the summer, hates people from big cities or states, especially California, knowledgeable in the arts of chainsaw maintenance and deforestation (they mess up owl homes in fir trees), no respect for nature, and deep passion for anything black and orange (Oregon State Beavers and Stihl chainsaws). To them, orange and black is the sh*t. In school, the kids learn logging skills and horse around in the locker rooms. Kids have been known to spray Axe deodorant in the air (to get high) and rub feces on books. Scio has a great music program however. If you go to Scio, rent a rusty old truck as you drive through "downtown" so people mistake you for a local, and don't hurt your pets. Wear an orange and black shirt.
Girl: "Where are we?"
Taxi Driver: "We're entering a sh*tty part of town. Roll your windows up and put your electronics away. Lots of inbred meth smoking hicks live here, so there's a lot of crime. OMG, don't look, but that man is molesting a sheep!"'
Girl: "This is just like Scio! I hate that damn place! Scions are so twisted!"
