When the Toyota Motor Company launched its innovative Scion auto marque ten years ago no one could have guessed just how far it would come. In the decade since the new line's introduction to the world the Scions have received considerable critical celebration and acclaim from drivers all over the world.

To celebrate the many successes that this new brand has enjoyed in its first ten years of life, a special edition release is planned. The Scion 10th series will include special versions of all five of Scion's current models. The 10th series FR-S, xB, xD, tC, and iQ will all be produced in the limited runs familiar to Scion's many fans. 3,500 tC units will be produced, 2,500 FR-S units, 2,100 xB units, 1,000 xD units, and only 900 iQ units. In all, the 10th series vehicles will total 10,000 units.

A New Brand with a New Spirit

This new vehicle brand was created to showcase Toyota's stylish side while still honoring the legendary dependability that has won Toyota so much acclaim over the years. All the Scions were given highly distinctive looks to separate them from each other and from the rest of vehicles on the market. These new vehicles were styled to suit the tastes of the millennial drivers who craved a unique product at a competitive price.

Each new model year was given eye-catching paint colors and a limited production run to maintain the unique qualities sought by consumers; each dealership received only a handful of new Scion vehicles each year. Price speculation was avoided by Scion's Pure Price program, which guaranteed an MSRP set by the manufacturer. Cars were sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The Pure Price program is still applied to vehicles today.

  • FRS – This sport coupe, one of Scion's signature vehicles, gets a bold makeover with the help of Silver Ignition paint, a color designed just for use on the Scion 10th series.

  • tC – The attractive tC has always been a top seller. There will be more special edition tC units produced than any other single model in the 10th series, a clear indication of which vehicle is predicted to be the most popular.
