Cars being sold under Toyota Motor Corp.'s new Scion brand are being snapped up in California -- the only place they're available.
Sales totaled about 5,000 units through August, following their June launch.
At a specialized Scion display corner in a Toyota dealership on the outskirts of Los Angeles, 25-year-old Socrates Garcia checked out the box-type xB, observing that the vehicle has a wide interior.
The xB is popularly known in Japan as the bB.
