Toyota announced last week that the 2012 Scion xD will have a base price of $15,345 (CAD15,076 at the current exchange rate) for the model equipped with a five-speed manual transmission and the usual 1.8-liter engine.
This means that prices have now increased by $235 over the 2011 model year, but the xD now brings more kit as standard.

This includes streaming audio, Bluetooth, and HD radio, which are excellent features for a car that’s priced just above $15,000. The 2012MY also brings with it a six-speaker sound system that features a personalized welcome screen.

As an optional extra, you can have this with a 5.8 inch touch-screen, which is clearly targeted at younger buyers. No changes have been made by Toyota’s division under the hood, as the xD still packs 128 horsepower from a 1.8 liter 4-cylinder engine with dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i).

Deliveries will commence across the US starting next month. This five-door compact needs some bigger updates, as it dates back to 2007’s Chicago Auto Show.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
