![]() The cabin is rated for five passengers, but it’s best to limit it to four adults if they want to fit comfortably. The sleeker profile does decrease headroom, compared to the Matrix, but cargo capacity behind the 60/40-split folding rear bench is actually larger – 588 litres with the seatback raised. Other than a lower roofline, the iM’s exterior dimensions are similar. ![]() Visually, think of the now-discontinued Toyota Matrix, but with a lower, sleeker profile. In fact, the iM is badged as the Toyota Auris in European markets. The iM shares its foundation with the Toyota Corolla as both models use the so-called Auris platform. The appeal of the iM, with its sleek styling, sporty handling and versatile five-door configuration, is expected to reach beyond the brand’s typical youthful buyers, drawing older consumers who will also appreciate its comfort and convenience. “We’ve loaded this exciting new model with many premium features and amenities without adding a premium price tag,” says Dimitris, “so you’re ready for anything from the moment you get behind the wheel – whether it’s a day of running errands around the city or a spontaneous getaway with all your gear.” Cyril Dimitris, director of Scion Canada, expects the iM (“i” for individual, intriguing “m” for modern, multi-faceted, magnetic) will become the brand’s core model once it goes on sale in September. New products are also a critical key to success – and the introduction of the all-new 2016 Scion iM hatchback is being touted as the vehicle that will spark the brand’s growth in this country. Its dealer network, for example, has been pumped up to 146 stores nationwide – an increase of 50 dealers – and now about 60% of Toyota stores are carrying the Scion brand.

Pay a little more rather than all the time and effort required.CALGARY – Scion hasn’t exactly set the car market ablaze since Toyota brought its “fun” brand to Canada five years ago. With the difficulty of wiring it I would opt for the wireless one if I were doing it over. One more point regarding the brake controller above. Will pick up my R-Pod July 9, then we will get the results. These Air lift 1000's got great reviews so I am anxious to finish my setup with them. I do not want the back to be too low even though I am quite a bit below the tongue weight limit. ![]() According to all I have read that should balance and car leveling. I have that all installed now, but decided to all the Air Lift 1000 part number AL60732 to my setup. I am thinking of MaxxTow adjustable ballmount hitch. Also appears I may need more height for my trailer ball to make sure trailer is level. I am looking at the Tekonsha Voyager #9030 brake controller (proportional) and the model 83660 anti-sway. Still checking on the anti-sway bar and Brake controller. Just ordered the 4pole to 7 pole adapter #30717 (Etrailer). I have the same Curt hitch C13105 and and T-one 118498 setup on my 2013 Sienna XLE. ![]()
