It’s been over a year since we announced Scion was coming to Canada, getting ready to take over the streets. Where does the time go? Hardly a day goes by without another sign that Scion is spreading. Whether it’s an eager tweet about getting behind the wheel of a new iQ, a fellow xB driver waving at a red light, or the packed house at the last Scion Session, it’s like the snow melted to reveal a Scion nation. Scion is taking root all over Canada. This summer, Scion showrooms are sprouting up in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Alberta and beyond, offering you our full lineup of rides – and all the accessories you need to build your very own Scion. The wheels are waiting for you – but where do you take them? trees Our aim this time is to produce a travel guide that you’ll want to keep forever and that inspires you to take a trip of your own. That in mind, we fired up the ignition and got on the road again to explore this beautiful land around us. There are sights and wonders out there just begging to be seen, and the thrill of road trips on the open highway all along the way. We encountered some breathtaking scenery, charming poutineries, and incredibly interesting Sasquatch investigators. The pictures and stories in the next forty-or-so pages are alive in a way I never predicted. It’s been an education to say the very least. For myself, even with everything I’ve learned about this place called Canada (like the varied diets and coy charm of the Sasquatch), I’m nowhere near done exploring. I know that this summer will again be full of new friends, lasting memories and more than a few surprises along the way. There’s no better time to hit the highway and I hope that this issue gives you a reason or two to do so.
