TheScion xA is a five-doorsubcompacthatchback marketed in the US from 2004 to 2006 — as an export model of theJapanese domestic marketToyota Ist. Based on the first generationToyota Vitz hatchback, the xA shared a platform with theToyota Platz sedan.
The xA received a minorfacelift for the 2006 model year, before importation ended in December 2006. The xA's successor, thexD was delivered to US dealerships beginning in August 2007 as a 2008 model.

Some of the revisions for 2006 include modified bumpers and side skirts, as well as turn signal indicators on the side mirrors and audio controls located on the steering wheel. The xA was also the first production vehicle to offer an optionaliPod input withhead unit display, as well as a more refined, user-friendly head unit and more exterior colors.
Beginning in late spring 2004 with the launch of the 2004 Scion xB RS 1.0 (Release Series 1.0) Scion decided to create limited edition vehicles pre-packaged with exclusive accessories in limited quantities. Limited Edition vehicles from a marketing standpoint were used to create a buzz for the brandname, with their exterior colors tending to be loud or bright hues (i.e. orange, yellow, red, blue, green). Because of the growing popularity of the Scion product line and the scarce production runs (most dealers only got 2-3 of each RS model), these limited edition vehicles quickly sell out. Preordering is available at each dealership on a first-come, first-served basis. To the customer's benefit, Scion's "Pure Price"MSRP binds dealerships against market-demand vehicle mark-up. Naturally, resale values of Release Series vehicles command a premium because of their packaged options and scarcity.
