This just got official: the Emo, hoodie-wearing tweener-Twihard I-want-to-accessorize-because-mommy-didn't-hug-me-enough brand called Scion (aka Toyotas for teenie-boppers) is coming to Canada. Or should I say going to Canada, considering I don't live there? 

Anyway, 45 Toyota dealerships will soon be providing consumers with the dealership-inside-a-dealership (or "store within a store") experience, and they're all placed in areas with "above average youth populations". Sneaky, sneaky.

Dealership numbers break down like this: 20 in Toronto, 18 in Montreal, and 7 in Vancouver.
