MONTREAL, Jan. 14 /CNW/ - Those who are members of the SCION Nation or want to find out more about it can do so at the Montreal International Auto Show. That's where SCION makes its official full lineup Canadian debut with three highly customized, urban aware models.

"SCION drivers are a new generation of new and enthusiastic car buyers who feel it's important that what they drive expresses their individuality in the same fashion as their clothes, music and lifestyle in general," noted Larry Hutchinson, Director for SCION. "The SCION generation represents one of the fastest-growing demographics in Canada, and many of its members are still looking to buy their first car. For these people, we are pleased to have three stand-out examples of the promise and potential of SCION in Montreal."

        tuner modifications to enhance performance and handling.

    -   The 2010 SCION xB Release Series 7.0: This production model - a

"SCION's first 45 Dealers have been selected and all are gearing up for our official Canadian launch in September, 2010," Hutchinson continued. "Our urban savvy, high style, highly customizable models are exactly the type of vehicles that customers have told us they want and we look forward to reaching out to this new generation of Canadian drivers in a way that is relevant to their unique lifestyles.
