3 Cars wired to the next generation. Scion Dealer Website Program Overview Scion has selected Reynolds Web Solutions (RWS) as the vendor of choice for your dealership website. RWS has proven they can accommodate the needs of the Scion buyers with their robust technology platform. Scion and the RWS team have worked together to develop two website packages. You will find that these two packages vary in content and functionality. In addition to providing the minimum requirements necessary for a dealer to comply with the Scion covenant, both of the RWS packages allow additional features to promote your dealership online. If you prefer to use a vendor other than RWS for your Scion website, the Basic Template Option has been created. This option ensures that all Scion dealers maintain a consistent website design, while allowing you the option of vendors. The Basic Template Option is a license for a one year period for use of an approved Scion website template that complies with the covenant. Arrangements must be made through RWS for use of the Basic Template Option. RWS representatives make contact with each Scion dealer to review the program details prior to the dealer opening. We encourage you to select the package that will best fit your needs as early as possible, to allow time for the development of your site. Your Scion District Manager and Performance Coach are familiar with the program and can also assist you. 3
