Spy shot: 2008 Scion Xb

oh joy, it looks more "boxier" than the current one.

Scion.. just stop... don't make anymore cars.

black_magician 02-21-2006 08:09 PM

look like they really changed things up :roll:

I have yet to meet someone who goes "LOOK, A SCION"!!!! :lol:

Zot09 02-21-2006 09:07 PM

It looks like an extended version of the current xb...woopty freakin' do. I must admit that the xb has a bunch of headroom, but the only worthwhile Scion is the tC.

DeMoN 02-21-2006 11:12 PM

Damn, and they try to hide a car no one is interested in.

dutchmasterflex 02-21-2006 11:29 PM

it is just an extended version of the xB.. looks like a shitload of interior space. If any of you been in an xB they're actually pretty big on the inside since it is almost a perfect cube..

I dont think toyota will make anything special under the scion badge..

racer_f50 02-22-2006 04:14 AM

The original Xb grew on me since I find it's looks funny (and humor is what makes life exciting), but this one looks pretty nasty. They shouldn't have messed with the dimensions, but I suppose they're trying to steal more of the minivan crowd.

taygunho 02-22-2006 06:06 PM

I think 8 year old boy drawed this boxy car.

corpse_grinder0 02-22-2006 09:57 PM

I like that special stylish ducktape they have on the side of the car.

Just when you think the Scions can't look any worse... they never fail to amaze us, in the ugly department.

If there's a car that needs a paper bag, this is the one.

I should be more specific, the paper bag that comes with the car is for the driver :mrgreen:

Well... Still looking like a shoe box.

Garretts_turbo 02-24-2006 01:28 AM

aww how nice i always wanted my toaster to have a black cozy... :lol:

It looks kinda like a very small discovery if you stare at it for a little whilel, but its still pretty ugly. What was Toyota thinking when they decided that they need to enter younger market with this pos? Did they just ingeniously think, "I know what young people want! A box on wheels that looks like hell!" Sure it offers a lot of space, and is relatively cheap, but when a car looks like that whole really wants to buy it?

Actually I really do. Except I say "Look, a Scion!!!!...with another 60 year old grandpa in it!!!!"

Seriously, all the Scion xA's and xB's and Elements seem to be owned by the seniors in this country. Just look at the Scion booth I saw at the LA Auto Show this year.

^ Yeah that's the funny thing. They are suppose to be aimed towards the younger crowd, they crowd that doesn't have much money but yet want a new car.

Instead you have all these older - middle age buying it up.

Oh wells, Toyota is making a killing with their Scion brand and good for them.

We have one as a delivery car at work, absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it. It gets about 1000 miles put on it every week to.
How it looks is subjective, some like it, some hate it. I don't realy like it, but now that i see it everyday, I've gotten used to it. That said, for how damn cheap they are, they are actually not bad to drive. I'm not surprised that I see them everywhere.

Also, i think the Tc is cool beans. I love the roof.

Pimp Racer 07-17-2006 07:35 PM

Its a longer than the current as far as I can tell.

Watch out Element you got competition. :roll:

666fast I agree with you the TC's roof is pretty amazing.

Global Warming 07-17-2006 08:11 PM

Does the Xb have an AWD option?

Hell no. Its FF all the way. If it were an AWD it would be somewhat a bit better considering how cheap it is.

Z3uS 07-18-2006 05:24 PM

DeMoN 07-18-2006 06:47 PM
