When were you convinced you wanted a scion? I remember my first encounter was at an auto show and I knew I wanted one but wasnt going to act on it. I just liked it!

Right after the release date I was looking for photos of xB/bB's when I found this

I was convinced I wanted a black one! Its doesnt work out that way but these 2 photos inspired me and Id like to see your top photos that you find yourself always looking at and feeling really inspired.

i no longer have (or can find) the magazines but they were in superstreet. it was the xB in the 1st pic you posted it tickled my pickle but i left it at that then after a while i saw the white xB from greddy in another superstreet magazine and that did the trick thats when i knew i wanted a white xB and now i have one in my driveway

btw this is a good topic and what show were you at when you took that pic?

It was at the san francisco auto show 01 IIRC

The date was 01/02 so it seemed like 01 :wink:

man cheif,,,that greedy box is the euro version from france, I've been in that thing, it's alil different in the inside esspecially the door panels and the material...nice car, great choice.

XBBOY- I know you got some pics you have been hiding and using for inspiration. :D

Well, I honestly HATED the xB before I saw it in person. Seriously, it just didn't make any sense to me - I thought it was hideous. I liked the xA much more, and it was what I originally went to look at when my local Scion dealership opened up.

I wasn't even in the market for a car - but the second i saw the two in person, I know that xB was what I wanted. In person, it just looked SO much better - maybe it's the realization that it's much smaller than it looks in pictures. Anyway - two days after laying my eyes on it I put my deposit down :P

just like my friend i was either going to choose the mini of the xB and he didnt like them both til he saw my cousins mini and i got my xB and when he saw them both in person they change his perspective on the two

Greddy has a carbon fiber wing! guy likes!

Heres another one I drool over time to time

that grey one is sweet.
I wanted an xB since I saw it in a Stylewagon issue I bought on clearance for $3. After seeing it at the L.A. auto show all I could do was wait for it to come out, and then I bought it... nice to see a good ride make it over.

At the Washington DC auto show earlier this month.

when i was in hk...my friend drove me around in his yellow open deck 8)

Open decks take some getting used to.

I totally agree.....but the defining moment for me was when I was at the 2003 CES and the Pioneer xB and the Greddy xB were showing in the Car Electronics hall.

marc,

I love those wheels. That car is beeeeeautiful

After hating the idea of owning a car my dad liked, i stood at the dealership for 10 minutes looking at the car and started laughing and that's when it grew on me. Then out of nowhere, my mom _____ slapped me upside the head and I couldn't get rid of its image so I bought it.

The mini truck look is intresting, but I drive too much for that.

Drew we have to save that girl....I know the West coast is just to warm for her...I'll send ya a plane ticket get her quick...I think I can save her...please for her sake...it's cold here she'll be fine...here with me :D :D :D

I first fell in love with the bB/xB when I was living/working in Tokyo in mid 2000. My mouth waters each time I return seeing all these awsome cars. :lol:

I was at the San Diego auto show on Jan 1st, wasn't in the market for a car, just wanted to look around. My wife pointed out the Scion display, and we stayed there about 30 minutes. We talked about it, went to a dealer the next day to test drive an xA, then bought one a couple of weeks later to replace my 99 Tacoma. My wife (who has a 99 Lexus RX-300) won't drive her car anymore, she takes mine everywhere. I'm planning on trading in her Lexus this Friday for another xA. We're hooked (and old, I'm 41, she's 48)
