I own a 2007 Azure Pearl Scion tC (manual), and yes I love my car. There are some short-comings, and things about it that I would change, but it's a great value car. The commercials are directly aimed at the tuner market! If you're not a tuner, or interested in the 'culture', I can see how you might interpret them as cheesy or 'cartoony'. You may not like the marketing, but it has worked flawlessly for Scion, so no offense -- but I don't think your single opinion means a hill of beans to the marketing executives when compared to the grand scheme. XA's on average get about 30 (or so) MPG, so I have no idea why your boyfriend experienced poor gas mileage. Unless of course you guys were expecting Toyota Prius numbers. lol

I think it's interesting; Scion is a line of Toyota's cars that are marketed at the "hip, young" generation and it seems to working quite well - although their commercials DO seem cartoony and childish, I'm sure they appeal to a certain bracket.
Also, my boyfriend's mom bought an xa recently and she absolutely loves it.. we live in the city, so it's perfect - she doesn't need a lot of room (it's just her and her boyfriend) and the mileage works well for her because she doesn't drive it too often (and when she does, it usually isn't very far).

There must be something wrong in the way you drive, my bro has the xa and he's getting 32 mpg in his car. I have the box and I get the same mileage. And yes I do like my car. And yes I like the cartoony commercials that aren't so mainstream bland like all the other car commercials. I think Scion is a great car company and I think they will thrive as long as they keep the box car boxy. Bleah!

Why on earth would anyone care about the commercials for a product? The commercials are done by some New York agency who wouldn't know a transmission from a clothes line.
I care if the product is any good. That's decided by engineers in metro Detroit, L.A. and other places. They don't talk to the people in New York.
If the car was terrible on gas, was it maybe because your boyfriend had a heavy foot? He'd have that problem in any car.
