The Toyota Corolla Rumion (Japanese: トヨタ・カローラルミオン, Hepburn: Toyota Karōra Rumion), also called the Toyota Rukus in Australia, [2] and the Scion xB in the US and Canada, is a compact 5-door hatchback produced by Toyota from 2007 to 2015.
Only the first-generation models for both the xB and bB are related. Second-generation models are based upon different platforms. To create the first-generation xB, the bB was modified from right- to left-hand drive, the front passenger area was also changed significantly with the bB's front bench seat replaced with bucket seats and the column-mounted shifter changed to a floor-mounted shifter.
The second generation Scion xB is not based on the bB, but was specifically designed by Toyota to appeal to American buyers, which was sold in Japan as the Toyota Corolla Rumion. Badge engineered Daihatsu and Subaru models were also produced, but production ceased in 2012, leaving just the Toyota model.

Scion was a marque of Toyota that debuted in 2003 and was available only in the United States and Canada. The marque was intended to appeal to younger customers: the Scion brand emphasized inexpensive, stylish, and distinctive sport compact vehicles, and used a simplified "pure price" sales concept that eschewed traditional trim levels and dealer haggling.
