Press Release

SAN MATEO, Calif. (November 9, 2007) - Makena Technologies, creator of the popular social virtual world There.com, today announced that Scion plans to continue and expand on its successful campaign in There.com, with a unique focus on user-generated content. Scion already runs a popular venue in There.com called Club Scion, a large-scale nightclub setting built inside each of the Scion xD, xB and tC models where members socialize, party and can interact with Scion content and explore the car interiors.

To continue its successful marketing effort in There.com, Scion is allowing members to create their own graphic designs to adorn the outside of Club Scion. Members will create their designs and submit them to There.com where they will be featured as the "new look" for the exterior of the club. New user designs will be rotated regularly, keeping the campaign dynamic.

"This initiative provides any of our members with the ability to paint a huge Scion car, and really let their creativity shine. Club Scion is about 100 feet high--we can't wait to see what our members do with that large of a design canvas," said Michael Wilson, CEO of Makena Technologies. "Our virtual world is built almost entirely around user-generated content and this campaign allows our members to continue that theme and contribute directly to Scion's brand image with their own custom creations. This is all about involving consumers with the Scion brand at the DNA level--much more so than they can through any other marketing channel. 3D development studio Metaversatility, the creator of Club Scion, assisted Makena again in extending Scion's campaign to enable member-generated designs."

Another unique component of Scion's extended campaign in There.com is that members will now also be able to create, buy and sell their own versions of drivable Scion cars in There.com. Makena Technologies has partnered with Trilogy Studios, a leading developer of high-quality video games and virtual worlds, to develop customizable and fully drivable versions of Scion's xD, xB and tC, which will be made available through There.com's free Builder development tool.

"Scion is finding success through the unique marketing channel that virtual worlds present," said Adrian Si, Scion interactive marketing manager. "Taking our partnership with There.com a step further and allowing their members to customize our cars is another interesting way for these consumers to interact with our brand."
