Honda's econo brand to rival Toyota's Scion
Honda has given us the first taste of its new budget brand with the unveiling of an unnamed hatchback concept at this weekend’s Beijing Motor Show.

The new brand is designed along the lines of Toyota’s Scion sub-brand and will be testing the waters in emerging markets such as China and India before launching in more established markets.

This brand is probably for Chinese market only. Toyota vehicles have several chinese market only brands as well.

u r right. Example Delta and one or two more.

Delta platz(Toyota Echo and now Yaris), Delta Frontrunner(Toyota Corolla Staion wagon), Delta Pickups, Delta 3 ton pick up(Toyota Dyna)...etc

It's a toyota brand in some Asian countries.
