Scion xD Release Series 1.0 Microsite From SolutionSet Erupts in "Hot Lava"

Innovative microsite promotes Scion's first limited-edition xD Release Series

Palo Alto, Calif. - May 30, 2008 - Interactive agency SolutionSet today announced the launch of a fiery new microsite promoting Scion's xD Release Series 1.0.

This first-ever Release Series model for the xD urban five-door subcompact, a limited edition of 2,000 numbered units, features unique "Hot Lava" exterior paint and special accessories, including a DAMD body kit and color-keyed rear spoiler, only to be found on this model.

In keeping with the Hot Lava color and Scion's campaign theme, "Get It While It's Hot," SolutionSet has produced an immersive online experience, setting the xD in the foreground of a geothermal urban landscape in which a volcanic eruption engulfs a stock xD in molten lava, revealing the xD Release Series 1.0 in a melt-away. Explosive manhole covers reveal windows in which users can zoom in and explore the finer details of this xD's unique standard features. A hidden mechanism also allows persistent visitors to create explosions at will.

"This first limited edition of the Scion xD will fire the imaginations of Scion enthusiasts with its unique styling." said Adrian Si, Scion interactive marketing manager.

"This was a fantastic project to showcase our creative talents," said SolutionSet CEO Kurt Garbe. "Scion deeply understands that its brand is in the hands and hearts of its consumers. This project showcases in a very real sense that community drives technology, and technology shapes brands."

The xD Release Series 1.0 microsite can be experienced at www.scion.com/rsxd.
