It took a long time, but this fall, Scion will finally be introduced in Canada. To kick things off, my company, OpenRoad Auto Group, has built a custom Scion to help launch the brand. Among the laundry list of mods, O-Zilla has a couple of special features including a slide-out DJ booth and three LCD TV's that retract from the roof.

There will be a launch and demonstration of the vehicle at OpenRoad Toyota in the Richmond Automall this Thursday at 10:30AM if anyone is free and wants to check it out. They will be demonstrating the vehicle and have hip-hop dancers on hand to do a performance.

IMO, it's a SEMA quality job and definitely worth checking out. If you miss this event, look out for "O-Zilla" at community events throughout the summer.

And if you're interested in checking out the new Scions, they will hit dealerships around October.

I totally agree. Not my cup of tea.

However, as a vehicle that is meant to appeal to a more mainstream audience that isn't so much into the "scene", Lambo doors will have their appeal.

Was this car white before?

lol. It will be driven around to various community events throughout the summer from what I understand. It will be at night market for the upcoming weekend.

I think that's kind of the point. For it to stand out as a promotion for Scion and OpenRoad.

I always thought it should stand out as a NICE appealing vehicle rather than stand out like a sore thumb wow that's nasty then point and laugh type of stand out.

[RC0310_EJ]

are we gonna get the Scion IQ?

[PDA_86]

It would be great to have Scion in Canada. This would, for sure, interest more youth and give people more choices for cars.

[JiggaZed]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't headlight tint illegal?

[felixy69]

i bet the car was build by someone in the USA....

i think it would be better if OPEN ROAD being a Canadian company, would bring business for CANADIAN builders.

either way..good to see dealers ships getting into tuning cars :)

[dinamix]

its a showcar not a streetcar.

The car was built by 360 Fabrication (http://www.360fabrication.com/) of Abbotsford, B.C.

Some folks might remember the Green F350 pick-up and matching motorboat they built that were on display at DTP a couple of years back.

[twitchyzero]

tC was nice at first..now it just looks like a corolla (pretty much is a 2-door rolla)

[Roach]

Pricing hasn't been announced yet but I'll be sure to update this thread when it's available.

As well, for the person who asked, the iQ will also be coming to Canada in early 2011.

Kev

nvm now it just look like a celica, the rice out photochop version didn't help either = /

[TypeRNammer]

Would of been better if they didn't re-use the parts off the yaris!

(Climate Control)

[hk20000]

I can't wait for the iQ otherwise no care.

[SilveRx]

I miss the original xB, the efficiency and box shape was much better used then this current version

i currently own the xb2, i chose this because it got a bigger engine, a 2.4L instead of a 1.6L? its has so much more room (legspace+cargo), 4 disc brake and much more...
and cant beat the price started at 16,000US which cost almost the same as a used xb1 lol

[monkeywrench]

will drop by during work to see it if i can lol

[TypeRNammer]

I have the Open Road theme song stuck in my head cause of the radio!

[smk]

hopefully we can order trd supercharger (i believe with factory warranty) like the states

[The_AK]

Wasn't open road hiring a street team to promote the Scion (saw ad while job hunting)? Are they going to roll around in this? lol

[Shun Izaki]

more than you can afford pal... SCION.

man, i remember applying way back to be part of the "scion street team" lol

always have loved the tC and thought it had tremendous unique potental up here... not anymore I guess...

[Roach]

Yes. They will be driving around to community events throughout the lower mainland.

This weekend they will be at the night market with the Scion.
