Huh! MT says Scion xB is a Daihatsu, not made by Toyota.

[AAA]

Well, there are a lot of sites that are doing double-speak, IMO...apparently the plant is essentially a Daihatsu plant, and the xB was FIRST a Daihatsu model, then reBADGED (with a few changes) into the Scion. However, some folks are brushing this off as 'Mother Toyota's' affiliates are 'just as good' as Toyota-labeled assembly plants.

I have no leg to stand on when judging whether this is true or not with respect to the quality. But, I would bet most US shoppers would be surprised if not dismayed to learn this information. But, whatever. The world won't end on this information.
