Says who? I do and I'm sure other people feel the same way.
Nuff said. So keep your xB clean to match the style. I don't want anyone misrepresenting what the xB stands for. So it might be a little cheap and it's no Maserati or Range Rover but put a few simple classy mods on it and it says a lot about the owner. I think a ride expresses a lot about the sense of style the owner has. My xB is without a doubt GQ.......

Agreed! I got my xB in BSP with two tone leather, tinted it up and tossed on some 18" chromes. I think it's pimp! Just the right amount of classy and sporty. When chicks get in my car they think I paid a lot more.

I never "race" anyone or rev up my loud ___ exhaust (don't have one) I just cruise in style and watch the heads turn.

The only mod I really want is the factory NAVI. That would set it off just right!

It's a mens style magazine.

it really focused on cologne advertising, and expensive clothes. Kind of feminized guys. Not very practical, would have been better if GQ had articles on how to properly use a jigsaw or belt sander.

BTW- I wouldn't say the xb is "GQ", maybe more like consumer reports meets sport compact car (is that mag still around?)

Doesnt really feminize guys...if you have read it it's about politics, movies, technology, yeah some clothes in the very back, better sex and other things that all mens magazine touch on...you want a magazine about belt sanders and hacksaws go to the home depot magazine rack..it's better than criticizing a magazine that was never aimed at that audience.

You mean GQ doesn't mean "gangsta qualified" :lol:

either way. i wish i had leather as an option. damn stupid cali dealer ships , no leather , no sunroofs , and no cruise.

Honestly you were better off not getting any of the above from your dealership because its way more expensive from them. The only good thing about it is you can finance all of that stuff. Find an authorized katzkin dealer in your area to install it...should run you around $1000 depending if you go 2 tone, piping, suede (etc.). Only reason I financed all my stuff is because I am a salesman at the dealership and I got a nice price on it from my rep 8)

you should check out katzkin. I think most(or all) of their stuff are covers that go over the seat, but they have a good selection.

Gerald Quality. It means that you're close to my level.

I actually got mine in Cali (Keyes Scion) and the two-tone leather upgrade, which is under warranty, was only $1300. No complaints here!

Is that article online? I'd like to print that puppy off! Post a link if you can!

I saw that article when a co-worker showed me..

She got mad because her new acura wasnt in there..

I just smiled :)

Althoug the car is far from expensive, I do feel that it has an expensive look when you do certain things to it. I have 225 40 18 tires on old school 3 piece Racinghart rims and they look massive on the small frame. The car looks chunky with a strong stance and the 2" drop just makes it look better. I also have 6000K HID lights on it and it's so darn cool to approach an intersection and the white lines on the road just come alive as if they were neon lights. I only drive mine on sunny days with no chance of rain, so it stays always perfectly clean. I wish it didn't have factory tint, I would like to have a really light bluish tint on all the windows, it would look perfect on the white sheetmetal.

Didn't you see my post where I said it's a men's magazine?

Am i the only one who DRIVES there xB? When it was less then 3 weeks old i took it down the dirt loging roads up in the mountains in maine!(for the maine pro forest rally) Ill tell you this. The box is awsome in loose dirt and gravel!

Well, magazines change with time and their readership. Would you believe that Cosmopolitan was once a literary magazine?

I love that magazine. I don't have a subscription but I understand the concept behind the magazine. GQ = Classy

Of course people can turn their box into a ricer with the loudest exhaust they can find and put those little neons on the hood where the wind shield wiper fluid comes out and totally kill it.

Keep it simple and take pride in what you install or get it done professionally and people won't start to look at our boxes as little punk pocket rockets (lack of rocket power).

I still turn heads with my 19" rims and suede interior among other things i've invested in my box.

GQ is just everything in the ___ mens magazines, but 3 months later.

:DThey throw like 10 pages of boobs in there too, but the vast majority of everything else is the same. They have the same ads each month, the same articles, same everything.

As to the point of this thread, I agree. I say keep it clean and keep it stylish (not neccessarily GQ, but you get the idea)

Wait, did I miss something? You read ___ magazines?

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

:lol:

Yeah, you did miss something, I read Out magazine 'cause I'm ___ and stylish. Best we don't have any problems, lest I need to bust the brass knucks.

What? Your really ___?
I wonder how many ___ people own a scion? I'm not saying anything negative towards gays and I know people have their own sense of style whether they are ___ or not. Someone should post a new topic with a poll "Scion Owners Sexual Preference".

Heterosexual
Homosexual
Metrosexual

and see what kind of results we would get. When you vote it's totally random so no one would know your sexual preference.....
Do it....Do it....

Is "metrosexual" a sexual preference? I don't really like Out magazine because it's too trendy and I think it's a bit extravagant. I appreciate beautiful things, but I just think some of the things advertised in their magazines are over the top. Granted, I sometimes shop at FCUK, but that's because their jeans aren't ripped, tattered, and brown. That's a trend I don't want to be a part of.

Ya'll are some jokers. GQ stands for Gentlemen's Quarterly. Obviously nobody here actually reads it. Keep those bricks clean baby!

Or maybe you didnt see where I said Gentlemens Quarterly.

Is "metrosexual" a sexual preference?
Yeah, I think it's when you would rather have sex with yourself because you think your hot! j/k

That would be another good debate because I really don't know the definition of the term.

I've been called a metrosexual because I like to dress nice (GQ Style) and people that know me know I take care of my physical apperance because I feel it's somewhat important to me.

Don't associate me with the definition I gave above because I love the tang to much and I'm not stuck on myself at all. I just like to get snazzy and pop my collor when I get the chance.

I thought the metrosexual thing was a hetero guy the dresses like a homo guy...matching clothes and shoes and belt and whatnot as opposed to jeans and a sweatshirt and 5 year old sneakers.

*edit* googled metrosexual and this was the first thing that came up.

metrosexual (met.roh.SEK.shoo.ul) n. An urban male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle.
—metrosexuality n.


Example Citations:


At dinner the other night, my date listed the calorie count of the main entrees, raising an eyebrow at my chicken Alfredo selection after he had ordered a salad. I saw him check his reflection in the silver water pitcher three times. During dessert, he looked deeply into my eyes and told me he thought what we have together is very special. It was our third date.

It was then that I realized why my dating life has been as mysterious as the Bermuda Triangle since I arrived in Washington. This city, unlike any other place I've lived, is a haven for the metrosexual. A metrosexual, in case you didn't catch any of several newspaper articles about this developing phenomenon (or the recent "South Park" episode on Comedy Central), is a straight man who styles his hair using three different products (and actually calls them "products"), loves clothes and the very act of shopping for them, and describes himself as sensitive and romantic. In other words, he is a man who seems stereotypically ___ except when it comes to sexual orientation.

That's a good description......
I got more game than that ___ though.
And I ain't no sensitive lil beiotch either.

:lol:

I wish I was stylish.. what's that count?

I do think there's a lot of ___ men driving xB's. Either that or there's a lot of ___ men on the internet forums.. either that or there's a lot of ___ men :gasp:, you think?! ;-)

supposedly 1 out of 11 men are ___. whoi knows how accurate that is tho people always lie on stuff one way or the other. i'm not ___ . i'm a mix between hetero and metro i suppose lol

The whole "dress like a ___ guy" definition is sort of ridiculous, who doesn't like to look good?

You don't have to spend a ton of cash to look good. Just look through some magazines, find a look you like, and hit up the clearance section of your favourite department store.

You don't have to spend a ton of cash to look good.Ballin on a budget.....
That should be the Scion motto!
That fits perfectly.....awesome

what does it matter? who cares how many gays or straights drive what kind of car...is the answer going to influence your buying decision one way or the other? as far as te metrosexual thing goes I would fall into some of the "defined" lines that would be called that but Ill be damned if I am going to be defined by any one word....screw that

supposedly 1 out of 11 men are ___. whoi knows how accurate that is tho people always lie on stuff one way or the other. i'm not ___ . i'm a mix between hetero and metro i suppose lol

+/- 3% of course.

GQ is just everything in the ___ mens magazines, but 3 months later.


So, you know it's 3 months behind ___ men's magazines.

So I met this really hot girl right......We've been messin around since new years night. We go to this bond fire thing on saturday night and all get s*it housed. Well it's time to leave so her and I head back to a friend of mines to jump in the hot tub for a little while or maybe just pass out (We will decide when we get there). So she passes out in the ol' Scion on the way there. That's cool....I get to the house and go around to the passenger door to wake her up and bring her inside (it's pretty cold outside). All of the sudden stupid mode kicks in and she like "No I don't want to go in some random peoples house". But the funny thing is that she knew the people quite well. So I tried for about 20min but she wasn't hearing it and just wanted to sleep in my car. "Fu*k it", I let her sleep in the box all night and I crashed inside. I had no idea that I was going to wake up with holes and mud on my roof from her 6" heals.
Boy I was ____ed but I guess that gives me a reason to get the roof re-done in suede to match my seats.

Moral of the story.....

Never let a drunk girl sleep in your car. Drag her by the hair if you have to but never let her out of your site.

See, if you read a ___ mens magazine, you would have kow not to let her sleep in your car. On the other hand, if you read GQ, in about 3 months you'll see a story advising against letting drunk girls sleep in your car.

sorry guys GQ=Goofy Queer

I don't read ___ men's magazines and I already knew that. I guess not letting women sleep in my car (or anywhere else for that matter) is a part of my innate male gayness. 8)

Back to the GQ thing: I don't consider myself or my car GQ. There are many metrosexual guys that will readily outdress me. I just wear whats comfortable, i.e. nothing tight, sparkly or outrageously colored.

As for my xB, I guess it will look like most other ones that are "tuned" but like my wardrobe, I'm not going for anything outrageous. I like working on my car and just want to make it mine. It would be cool to meet other ___ guys who are into the same thing, but I've only met a few so far.

Someone had suggested creating a "sexual preference" thread, good luck. A similiar thread was made a while ago and it turned into flame city, ended up being deleted. :roll:

i believe that the reason everyone is freaking out about the whole who is ___ that drives an xb is because every one of us has from atleast heard "homos drive that car or thats a ___ guy car" well it most definatly isnt as you can see by all the people talking in this forum. i have to admit this thread interested alot of ___ people it seems but to tell you the truth ___ men have style and if they drive a scion xb great!!! Now if someone says the ___ down the street drives one tell him its better than his 86 camry i mean seriously most of it is from pure jelousness. Its a sweet ride and it was built to attract a wide variety of clients! THus they succeded

I agree with you, MussBuss.

I think the idea of a "___ car" really is weird because unless it comes from the factory with a rainbow painted on the trunklid, all kinds of people (straight, ___, male, female, old, young) will buy a car. And even then, if it came with the rainbow standard, I wouldn't buy it. 8)

I'm in the same boat my friend. I'm not doing anything crazy to my xB. I just want to make it original to where it fits my personality and style.

Could you imagine what the commercial would be like if the car was market strictly for the ___ community.....

I'm going to get a quote on how much damage that girl did to my xB last weekend. I'll keep you updated....

Keep it pimpin I know I do





$hrek

I agree with the fact that the car could be a reflection of ones personality and if done right, the xB looks real good and stylish.
Let it reflect your personality no matter what it is and mod it to your liking and taste and no one elses.
That is the whole concept to the vehicle.

A girl friend of mine said my car looks ghetto with my big chrome 19's.....
I told her she was confused then made her get out at a stop light and I drove off.......
