I don't want to get off on a rant here but if you ask me it's about time that Scion died a loud and painful death. For years it's been a company that's produced lackluster product after lackluster product and it just didn't seem to connect with...anyone.

OK, so the company released the first-generation tC to a slew of young buyers — or at least their parents who bought the all-new car for them. But, to be straightforward, these cars were always for goobers. Either they were driven by far too many females that suffer from vocal fry and seem like the would fit in right at home on SNL's "The Californians" skit, or it was an Affliction T-shirt wearing clown sporting a pair of white framed sunglasses and a white belt.

These poor souls couldn't determine a good product if it came along and smacked them in the face. These are the people still texting with green bubbles, if you catch my drift.

Thinking back to the company's product portfolio, I can't think of one good vehicle that lived under the Scion umbrella. I am sure a lot of fan boys will say "What about the FR-S?" and I will quickly retort "What about it?" The car was a joint venture with Subaru and it wasn't particularly cool either unless you wanted 170 horsepower on narrow tires so posers could pretend to know what they were doing before they crashed into a tree or pole or another car or, worse yet, a person.

Maybe I've said too much. Perhaps I haven't said enough.

The only shame is that it sounds like from the latest reviews the company may have produced one decent vehicle, the iM. There's just one problem: it's sayonara for Scion.
