im gonna add my 2 cents to this discussion. the scions are well built cars for the money, toyota does not make crap and the proof is inthe pudding so to speak as i have 93' camry xle v6 and it rides like a dream after 11 years. not one major problem and nothing besides regular maintinence was ever done. heck i even had a front end accident and it still drives wonderfully after it was fixed.
oh and about chrysler, if you really knew anything about cars that would not be your fav. car unless it was only b/c of the way it looks. chrysler has made someof the worst cars for over 10 year now. i dare you to go to a tranny shop and count how many chrysler/jeep/benz's you see...
