Like all vehicles in the Scion lineup, the xD was designed for those who dare to be different. It certainly stands out, which is funny when you consider that it is derived from the rather discreet Toyota Yaris. Just one engine is offered for this model, a 1.8L 4-cylinder that delivers 128 hp and 125 lbs.-ft. of torque. For the transmission, you can choose from a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic.
