Scion xB: Cool or not?
if i had the xtra cash i would pimp one of these out for sure
volk wheels, supercharger, air ride, Stereo, DVD players, custom paint, just make it a show car. i think they are really sweet. but the evo is 1st priority and i dont have enough money for another car so oh well
Oh my GOD!!! This is about the ugliest thing I have EVER seen. The only things that compete in the ugly scale is the Honda Element, Pontiac Aztec, and Ford Focus. I am more amazed that there are people here voting for this car as a positive remark at all. Who cares about head room when the car is that unattractive! When I think about myself picking up a girl in that, I chuckle at myself.

A convorsation I had with a friend who works at Toyota:
"So lemme get this straight"
"Yeah?"
"Toyota wants to appeal to the youth market with a 108hp mini-van?"
"Yup."
"I dont get it."
"Nor do I."

Looks are in the eye of the beholder, so there are going to be a wide variety of opinions. Please don't compare its looks to the Pontiac Aztek, which is universally hailed as the ugliest vehicle on the road. The xB is quirky and has a unique look, but there's no way it's ugly. It's just boxy. Saying it looks like a Honda Element is like saying a Hyundai Tiburon looks the same as a Toyota Celica. I like the fact that Toyota did something fresh and on the edge with the looks. They took a chance and it seems to be working for them in sales. Think of the xB as the anti-VW Beetle. Merge the two and you get a car with average looking sheetmetal.
Youths don't need more than 108hp to get around town. Their parents are probably happy about that.
The xB is classified as a wagon, not a mini-van (functionally, not by looks). I don't know why, it's the same reason why the PT Cruiser convertible is a car and all the rest are trucks.
The point of the Scion brand is that you can buy a cheap, high-quality vehicle and buy lots of options and accessories for them. It's Toyota's way of cashing in on a young person's desire to modify their car and make it unique. Of course, it's not necessary to buy their accessories, and the xB makes a great blank canvas for an aftermarket sound system installation.
I like the idea of putting it on airbags. How funny would it look, hopping and bouncing on them?

I like that thing. I think it's called a "db" over in japan. I've seen a black one with black tinted windows slamed to the ground with a set of crome 18" rims and it looked bad ***.
