Scion was a car brand created by Toyota in 2003, specifically aimed at the North American market. The brand targeted younger drivers with affordable, compact, and often sporty-looking models. Scion became known for its “mono-spec” strategy (one base configuration with many personalization options) and for marketing campaigns tied to urban lifestyle and music culture.
Despite its fresh image, sales declined, and in 2016 the brand was discontinued. Many of its models continued under the Toyota badge.
