in japan the toyota bb looks like the first picture in the bottom..now compared to the new model in the US xb. the second picture...now did you know the new scion xb in japan is an corolla...surprised..true...another is that the xb is no longer a bb...sadd well i think so...and how do i know this because i go back and forth from US 2 JAPAN...o yea i prefer the japanese style compared to the new xb...i wish that scion made the japanese one because that car is so hard with the body kits and what is available....and i love that the japanese stayed true to the design and did not completely change.....jus evolved into a sexy beast....but that is my thoughts you may think otherwise...oh yeah cant forget the small size..=]

The new bb is a big improvement over the old one but I'd take the XB2 over it any day. Maybe if I lived in Japan I'd feel differently but the XB2 is just so much better suited for driving in the US. Looks better too, IMO.

I like the US version better. I just wish the US version came with standard driving lights.

The USDM xB is just a BBB (Big Beautiful Box) version of the Jap bB.

I would still take the USDM, but I do prefer the front of the bB.

our xb2 is also a corolla. the chassis code for both the bb and xb2 is "E". Japan will launch our version in japan as the Corolla rumino. Theres already a few post on the the Rumino. Just gotta search. We'll be seeing Japanese parts soon. Just like they launch the ist after the US.

It's the Corolla Lumion (or Rumion), not Rumino.

thanks for correcting me. I knew it was one of them.

It is the Rumion as discussed here for example:
