They are only missing one thing: A scion tC that is rear wheel drive, weighs 2700lbs and has a solid roof option with the same nice styling. With a turbo engine and 6-speed manual. Come on, Toyota :) Love the xB though. It can look very adult and civilized. I'd get one for daily transportation. Scions have great design. They are only missing one thing:

I always thought the xB was the worst looking model in the Scion lineup, now they are all going to be similar to that- disgusting. It was a bad move to kill the Celica, but I thought "At least they have the tC, it can get to be sporty." I always thought Toyota would have made the tC more sporty; what a let down. Hmph!

Though i think the xA has been around for a while. Al- This proves Toyota knows how to market cars very well. Mitch- As the owner of an xB i get that kind of comment alot. But i get alot more of interest/compliments every time i get gas. And yes, we are all aware that "its a box" Scion sells every xB they make most before they even hit US Shores, there is a 6-10week waiting list for the xB. I bet GM wishes they could get this kind if intrest from a box. Carlos – Infact we got the xB at the beginning of its 2nd generation. Though i think the xA has been around for a while.

I have sometimes kid around that the Scion XB looks like a toaster on wheels, and to me it does but it's got a spacy interior and is a fairly NICE toaster. Al, if Toyota didn't know how to design cars at all then why would they beat Ford in the number 2 spot? Boxy isn’t bad at all, as long as it’s aerodynamic and economical.

In fact the bB has been redesigned there already, but we're not getting the new one (the xB is becoming USDM-only).

The tC will be the following year. Its said the new xB will have teh 2.4l from the tC/Camary. The cars have only been out since 2004, i dont think there are to many companys that have a 3yr product cycle.
