SCION DEALERS
For most U.S. dealers, their investment in enhancing their Toyota showrooms for Scion habitation took place many moons ago.

Five years later, Scion will be discontinued. – Windsor Star.

TOP SELLERS
2016 has only just begun, yet the Canadian numbers reveal massive leads already built up by perennial best sellers from Honda and Ford. 2016 could be – will be? – the 19th consecutive year in which the Honda Civic leads all cars and the 51st consecutive year in which the Ford F-Series outsells all other pickup trucks. – Autofocus.ca
500X
When we publish our review of the 2016 Fiat 500X Trekking AWD next week, we’ll be discussing a CAD $41,000 car with a 2.4L engine and a 9-speed automatic. But what about a more basic 500X, the 1.4 turbo with a manual transmission? – Car & Driver
WATCH
Yes, the new Audi A4 looks pretty much exactly like the last Audi A4. But the car isn’t actually the same, right?
