Default Looking for *New* xB commercials...have you seen?

I was as my parents house the night before I picked up my boxen, and a Scion
commercial popped up on the TV. I only caught about 30 seconds of it, but it
was an overhead city scene with an XB tooling down the road. I think they morphed
it into different colors to give you an idea of what the box looked like in all colors.

Anyone seen this or especially know where I can download it?

I thought it was the best example of what a box looks like in real life, and I'd like
to send it to friends out of state that don't get why I bought a box.

Thanks!

I did get that DVD that was in the last issue when I picked up my box on Wed,
but that only has all the older ones that I'm sure we've all seen before. I'm pretty
sure this is a new commercial that was *just* released.

Default SCION commercial

I watch a lot of the I-CHANNEL on cable . And they play a couple different commercials on it . Also why not give them this sight to look at the galleries . Everyone I know that before ( Including ME ) had not seen up close or driven an xB , turned completely around . There are SO many Angles of the BOX that there has to be one MADE for them . If not , because its a BOX , you can make it whatever you want .

I'd have to say that the scion marketing department is certainly doing a good job on these commercials.

New commercial should be out fairly soon.

Most of the commercials were done in cable or at the movie theaters.

To get the new commercial:


Go to Yahoo and do a video search for "Scion". Fourth row down, third colum is a video --ScionNEW.mov. That's the new commercial, full length do it's xA and xB.

It's no longer on that website, so just hit the Play Video option to get it.

This shouldbe the url:

Default SUV?

On the site that Yoshi gave , they rate the xB as an SUV?
I never thought of this as an SUV . What do you guys think.

I have always had it classified as a 'small wagon' on everything, registration, to my friends, on my insurance, and even consumer reports calls it a 'small wagon'.

The term I hear all the time and what the GOV. calls it is a micro van. Think that has much to do with the low insurance rates.
As far as the new comercials go, I wish they would have used it instead of the freerunner ones chasing the xA and xB. You never got a chance to look at the vehicle for any length of time and what's up with that terrible reflection on the hatch of the BOX in the freerunner comercial???
The best place to catch the new comercials is Spike,Speed and Discovery channel during Auto or Bike shows.

That's the one Yoshi! Thanks!

It really shows off the box in good form I think.

Now I just need to find a video that's larger then a postage
stamp! LOL

As for classification, I like the UUV class that they use
in Europe and Japan. Urban Utility Vehicle seems to suit.
