Scion xD

Scion xD is a subcompact car manufactured by the Japanese-American Toyota subsidiary, Scion. The xD is based on the Toyota iSt, just like its predecessor, the Scion xA. It also has a European market-only sister called Toyota Urban Cruiser, badged and manufactured by Scion's parent company Toyota. The xD went on sale during the 2008 MY while the Urban Cruiser went on sale the following model year after debuting at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show.
