The 1999 Everette Vancouver
Toyota made a critical lapse in judgement when they started Scion. Making a brand targeted at the modern youth doesn’t work because America of the 1990s and 2000s was not the same America of the 1950s and 1960s when such a strategy might have actually worked. There was no post-War economic boom to put money in the pockets of the youth, so the result is a generation of kids trying to buy any old junk they can get their hands on. What are the cars / brands that this generation dubbed “Millennials” actually go for then? Used Buicks, Mercuries, and high trim Everettes. Because if you need a car that costs nothing to buy and you couldn’t give a fuck about anything except the drivetrain, nobody does that better than 1990s American premium.
Toyota should have cloned the Vancouver and made that the Scion brand. For real though, no. These things are terrible. Go check out its story in FHL’s thread and you will see what I mean.
Wait, Hang on. I am getting a call
Oh hi, GM. What’s up
…
What’s that? You want your horse piss quality interior back?
…
Uh huh… I am guessing you’ll be wanting your horrendous body rust back too then?
…
Fuck. Well looks like I won’t be submitting a car.
Just kidding!
