Found my replacement for the SVT. Talk about polar opposites in shape (SVT = sleek and smooth xB = box! )   . It's raining here in SLC and I forgot to turn off the flash, so I appologize for the crappy pics. It's nothing fancy, and I only got 2 options. It's exactly what I wanted as a replacement. No urge to mod it either (besides tint on the front windows). There's just no way 1.5L will ever be fast.    Now, should I change my screen name?
Derek
Scion xB 5-spd

had I gotten any Scion it probibly would have been a tC.... What I dont like about the xB is the fact that you have this giant, pretty good looking box... on little wheels, it looks wierd..... I would say get some 17's or 18's and it would look HOT. Good choice though, not a bad price for a toyota if you ask me.. Good mileage and high reliability, its the way to go.

Nice! I test drove one a while back. It sure turned a lot of heads...
I wish it had more power though. Oh well. The one I drove was a 5 spd. too.

Same here those tC's look sharp. I didn't like the xB when it came out but now that I am seeing more of them they are kinda growing on me. I would at least have to say to get some different wheels. Other than that good choice I like it.

I personally like the xB's, i think that the xB is one of the most contraversal "cars" of the year.

dont look too bad imo, definatly a different car. as long as you're happy is all that matters. the toyota dealership here has a really modified one they bring to all the rice-gatherings around here, they look rather good done up.
