The Scion iA in the USA is the same as the Toyota Yaris in Canada. Why they did this I have no idea. They really just need to bring everything back into the Toyota brand.

The standard transmission is still standard.



I love the standard dual zone auto climate control, but I do admit the lack of heated seats is a bit of a deal killer myself. I've had a sore back the last week and a bit and the heated seats have been a huge relief.

It is the SCION IA. It is a rebadged Mazda 2.


The Yaris sedan is a rebadged Mazda2 sedan.

And here we see a real world example of the transitive property of equality.

Does this thing share DNA with Mazda? I thought I read somewhere that Scion was to use Mazda tech in a model or 2.

It is the SCION IA. It is a rebadged Mazda 2.

I like it when people answer there own questions - saves us a lot of work  ;D
