I traded it for the Scion because I didn't need 5 cars... |

Let's put it this way: the two cars that were comparable to my first Corolla were the Vega and the Pinto... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! |

And I had an Aspen, did the maintenance, and it was Still a POS! Hoo boy... Surly you do not expect a Scion, a car built as basic transport to be sold in third world countries, will last very long without the proper preventive maintenance? Where did you get this? the US is the Prime market for Scion, with Japan second. |

I still own a 1971 Pinto, that I bought in 1970, that currently has over 300K miles on the clock that looks and runs great. As to the Scion, I guess the Japanese buyer are smarter than US buyers. For the record the same Scions now sold in the US have been sold around the world for around ten years. mike This also applies to Lexus, but that number would be closer to 30 years...
