Default xB type S?

Saw a silver box yesterday on 495 in MD. The badge said xbS (same S as on the Corolla Type S). Did this guy just stick a S badge on his xB?

What really got me were his alloys. I had never seen them before. They had the SCION logo on them. I double checked the SCION website and the wheels were not on there. Anybody have a clue?

Wish I had the opportunity to snap a pick of the wheels. They were much nicer than the curved spoke alloys on my xB.

Some peeps have popped the Scion center caps off of their Hubcaps and used them on the rims, maybe that's what you saw...

Should've made it an MxB, I heard adding the BMW M gives a lot more extra horsies than the Toyota S badge...

Maybe it meant "No BS"

It could have been the wheels for the Xa. I think they look much better than the Scion Xb wheels.

There is a seven spoke alloy option for the xB, its not shown on the website but its pretty sweet, I don't have a lot of cash for wheels so I ordered the seven spokes and built it into my lease.

I can't believe you guy did not know about the xBR emblem upgrade, cheapest way to get 15+ additional horses.


I am holding out on the xB LG series.. thats the 'long grain' model for those of you who did not know

Sounds like a typical ghetto mod to me.
