The stock sound system is damn impressive, too!

When I was in Japan a 7yrs ago there were hundreds of similarily of this type of mini mini-van. I wonder why the US took so long to import them to the US. Its the only one out there so that makes buyers no other choice than to buy this scion xb. Not my choice either by the way. I find these toy cars in my kids cereal boxes all the time.  -dan

It's about as fun to drive as it is to play with toy cars.  Thanks for the input - good or bad - on the car. I'm going to enjoy it, I can tell. I can't wait to see what kinda gas milage I can pull.

I really like those Derek. If they only had 150hp. You at least have to get some nice rims for that thing. PLEASE! Those hubcaps need to hit the trash stat.

What a waste of Volk rims. Yeah that thing couldn't even get out of it's own way, but it needs lightweight racing wheels...

Look at a few focuses lately? Or what about the Aztec? Blah! They all need twenty inch rims to make the wheels proportion to the freaking body lines!
Couldn't agree more man.
Btw, cool replacement Derk. Tbough I think "replace" is notg the right word for it

I'm sorry, but the xB is right down there with the Aztec in looks, imho. The xA and the tC are much better.

The xA is worse. Looks like a baby's head right after coming out of it's momma's ho-ho. All contoarted and squished into a weird shape.  The xB is like a shoe box on wheels and probably has a Cd worse than a Fed Ex truck. The tC is tight though!
