Thanks to the help of this forum's members, TrueDelta received 22 responses covering 55 months of ownership for the 2008 Scion xB.

Though the result is asterisked owing to a marginal sample size, the result of 87 successful repair trips per 100 vehicles per year is much higher than the usual for a Toyota product, suggesting that the new xB has some first-year issues. Most of the reported repairs involved exterior trim.

The analysis covered through the end of 2007. Any repairs that were completed in January or February won't be included until the next update, in May. With TrueDelta's process, we'll be able to report any change in repair rates soon after it happens.
