Good article. Still waiting to see one in person............

Another GOOD review...

The way this is sounding, I see a lot of embittered first-gen xB owners flocking to the hatch side of the fence. After all, when the options are go down half a size or go up fifteen sizes...it seems pretty obvious to ME. :)

You nailed it... I have the Classic xB and I am very disappointed on what Scion did to the 2nd gen xB by "bloating" it up. I will probably replace my xB down the road with an xD. The xD looks like a winner in my book.... the test drive will be the true decision maker for me.

Wow, another solid review. Amazing how it has been warmed up to so well by reviewers.

I'm still kinda worried though on how much the body kit will be extra... I know it won't be cheap but christ the way it looks.. especially in that red.. get some deep dish chrome wheels.. damnnn....

I talked to a scion rep today and he said the kit was going to be around 2k. :doh:

Nah, don't like the kit. Not THAT kit. Wait just a bit, and someone will come up with a REALLY good looking one.

I'm sorry to be hating on the new XD but the only thing it has going for it is the engine. Everything else about it is basically the same as the XA with a body kit IMHO. The interior looks like they are trying to go for the retro look but made it look like the interior of a nissan sentra.
