Scion

Scion: A Legacy of Style and Innovation

The Toyota Scion was a renowned brand of vehicle introduced in 2003. Unlike many other vehicles in Toyota’s lineup, the Scion targeted a younger audience. Its sleek design, solid performance, and reliability make it a hit with young professionals and even students. At Canton Tire & Wheel, we're proud to help you continue the legacy of this beloved automobile by providing expert maintenance and repair service

The Legacy of Scion

Scion vehicles can be customized in any number of ways. The buyer can choose different exterior colors and aftermarket accessories and personalize the interior to their tastes. Instead of offering a standardized vehicle, Toyota wanted to make each Scion purchase a unique buying experience for the owner. 

In its heyday, Toyota promoted the Scion heavily for young and urban audiences. They collaborated with well-known artists, held sponsored events and concerts, and were one of the earliest brands to make prolific use of social media to promote their products. The strategy was wildly successful — Scions have always been a hit with young people, who value everything from hatchback models to subcompact models: the Scion xA or the tC coupe, for example.
