2005 Scion xA Review
So, sick of gas prices yet?
|
Remember the chain E-mail from a few summers back urging drivers across all 50 states not to buy gas on May 30? Known as The Great Gas-Out, this master plan was to unite all Americans in defending their God-given rights (see Amendment XXIV: no Escalade owner should be held financially responsible for his decisions) against the likes of evil oil companies. No longer shall the world's most innocent creatures be bullied into paying an outrageous $1.40 for a gallon of fuel. It's payback time. THIS'LL SHOW EM!
Great work, guys.
Back here in reality, everyone knew this day would come. Gas has climbed a full buck over the past year alone and $3 will be the norm sooner or later (probably sooner). People are reacting in different ways. One man spent $27,900 on a Prius. Many have canceled vacations. A reported 40% of Californians have cut back on food and clothing. Food and clothing!
With slightly early timing, Toyota presented a solution to this epidemic with its Scions, a duo of affordable runabouts intended for sipping gasoline like they can't stand the stuff - especially the diminutive xA. This $13,045 ride may not be the lushest Lexus on the block, but surely it beats being starving and naked? Next Page
