Goodbye trusty Subie. Hellooo sexy Scion!

Until recently, it was SD corporate policy that all employees drive Subarus. How very Portland we are. And on a hipness scale we rated somewhere around… reliable.

We needed something. Some highlights, a nip, a tuck, some manscaping, and some draw-in abs; it was time for a makeover. Witness, the new Scion.

It’s little. It’s sporty. It’s got a stereo that talks to my ipod. It’s fun, and the mpg is somewhere near my age (which, unfortunately, is good).

Finally, our blog will appeal to that influential 18-24 demographic! The creative class! Because they want to see pictures of my kid and my sister’s birthday parties… right?

    Hey Nick. We also looked at the Prius and the Honda Fit. All got great reviews as economical cars. The Fit is nearly identical to our Scion, though it has a little more room. Think it’s also a bit more expensive, and not as good looking (imho). The Prius is great, but since we drive so little the fuel economy advantages didn’t offset the price jump. And the Scion is so doggone stylish!
