More Scion xD news
The dealership just called and said they still have had no luck getting an xD in my color/transmission choice (blue or dark grey / manual).
The salesman told me that the shortage of xD’s is also in part because of a shortage of engines; Toyota is focused on the demand for Camry and Corolla, (they use the same engine) thus there aren’t enough engines to go around to Scion. The sudden spike in gas prices has shifted demand to the smaller cars and it sounds like Toyota is having a hard time keeping-up.
This is most annoying… I hope the launch of the 2009 model around August will fix availability.
