The siren call of the Scion

Hello to our most recent family addition (uh, photo clearly ganked from Edmunds.com):

It's cute! It's round! Yup, we're getting a new Scion xA (Little x, big A. Why? I have no idea.) It is a neato car that gets crazy good gas mileage and has a huge amount of space in it. It's also rated pretty darn well in safety, and has built in satellite radio w/ iPod jack. Woo for technology!

The stork hasn't quite arrived, but we put in our order at the dealership this past weekend. We're going to have the plates from the Saturn transferred over, so I'd better get thinking about what the SNV in the plate number will stand for. It stood for "Super Nasty Vehicle" on the Saturn (Thanks to the lovely Jenny Haney!) but I think maybe something different is in order for our little Scion pal...

Any suggestions? Silly Nihilistic Vehicle? Swell Narcotic Vortex? No?

Whee! Congrats on the new addition.

SNV? Hmm....

Sweet/Saucy New Vagabond?
She's No Vegetable? (er. idaknow -that one just came to mind.)

And finally,
Say Now, Vamoose!

We're also trying to find a manual version, and it's proving to be annoyingly hard.

I think your idea of canvasing all vaguely nearby dealers is a good one.
