Strangely enough, it was the first one I've seen on the street - which is weird, since this is SoCal, and it seems like half the time I see cars driving around before they're even supposed to be released.
Its a lot smaller than it looked in the ads; it seemed much chunkier and beefy in pics.
Its actually kind of more xB1-sized (although I haven't looked up dimensional specs yet to compare them). The one I saw was silver with black-centered aftermarket wheels, and I hate to say it...but I kind of liked it!

...let the flaming begin...

 

whats up with the new Xb and the new XD having non- 4x100 bolt patterns? WTFudge?

 

I like the xD

 

Yeah--I saw a silver one the other day on Alondra near Cerritos. Unmistakeable front end. Will have to see one up close and personal to pass final judgement.

 

uhh i don't think you were the first

 

i have seen them on the lot and i have to say i dont really care for them that much, i have not seen one on the road yet and hopefully i will see one with rims and everything on there, but i doubt it, i am like the only modded xB around here...this is still civic territory...grr...

 

that's one of the reasons i like it - the size didn't baloon up too much meaning it's the size of a gen 1 xB. someone on SL here somewhere put it perfectly - they said that it looked like the same mentality that built the gen 1 xB and xA built the xD because of the size still being small, the biggest difference being the slightly larger engine - unlike the xB 2 which not only grew in size but they threw a huge motor in there.

 

Uhhh...MY first, not THE first...

 

Weird coincidence - on the way in this morning, I saw another one!
This one was also silver, but with stock wheels and wheel covers. Didn't look anywhere near as good!
I guess something about the aftermarket wheels pushed out to the edges of the wheelwells on the first one really made the difference.

 

yeah i went and looked at the xDs today nothing like either xB, but the 1.8 did look similar to our 1.5s... i wonder if it would fit in the box.

 

pics?

 

there is a thread about that on our first gen page...some guy asked the same question and this other guy said it would cost between 5 to 10 grand in parts and fab work...dont know how much of that is true but its just what i read...

 

I like the xD....
