2010 Scion xD Video

However, Thomas warns that the xD might suffer from “pricing problems.” To find out what he means and get a look at the xD, check out this video.

One demerit of the xD is that it has a four-speed automatic transmission. Almost every other car in its class has a five or even a six-speed. Having another gear or two can help with reaching speeds above 60 miles per hour and increase its already good fuel economy.
