View Full Version : Next generation xB poll yanges 09-05-2003, 03:34 AM hey everyone what would you like to see in a next generation xB? i would like to see a Hybrid engine myself... how about you? scionara 09-05-2003, 03:37 AM I wish they brought the AWD version of the xB from Japan. I would have bought that over the 2wd version. That would make a complete all around vehicle. its_ikon 09-05-2003, 04:11 AM awd version of the xB is much more logical and something that could actually happen. yanges 09-05-2003, 04:15 AM I wish they brought the AWD version of the xB from Japan. I would have bought that over the 2wd version. That would make a complete all around vehicle. well, i am waiting to see how the traction control works when i get somewhere where it might actually be needed..... btw, do any of you drive with the traction control off? scionara 09-05-2003, 04:17 AM Normally I leave the traction control on but when i feel like smoking my tires, then it comes off. allblackxb 09-05-2003, 04:21 AM I think an awd manual transmission would be fun. If you got a lot of power it would be viscous in these little cars! hatchbox 09-05-2003, 04:36 AM if not a hybrid, then a turbodiesel like Volkswagen DoNuT 09-05-2003, 05:42 AM Normally I leave the traction control on but when i feel like smoking my tires, then it comes off. I hear of all these people turning the traction control off... how do you do it? =P Sorry, but I never recieved my owner's manual, so there are still a few thigns I have yet to learn about my xA. JDMxB 09-05-2003, 05:58 AM Definately..."The beauty of All Wheel Drive"....I wish I could say this for the Scion! Djuan 09-05-2003, 08:35 AM I would totally dig a hybrid tho, like the new 04 Prius engine, its supposed to be more economical on gas, and have way more hp. I don't really have any practical use of AWD, in comparison to the daily benefit of less gas consumption, unless it rains. Subcompact Culture 09-05-2003, 02:13 PM I put other. While AWD is nice for bad weather, it saps power because of driveline loss and extra weight. The only thing I'd like to see is more power. Give me 120 hp at least! My 1992 Mitsubishi Expo at least had 113 hp … AWD was an option, too now that I think about it. yanges 09-06-2003, 01:51 AM Normally I leave the traction control on but when i feel like smoking my tires, then it comes off. I hear of all these people turning the traction control off... how do you do it? =P Sorry, but I never recieved my owner's manual, so there are still a few thigns I have yet to learn about my xA. you push the button on the left side of the dash that says Trac Off or something like that.... then you should see the trac off lite on the display... DibujoB 09-06-2003, 03:25 AM Don't look too hard though...the xA doesn't come with traction control! They only put that and the VSC in the xB. The Scion execs said something about how they were expecting the xB drivers to be more aggressive behind the wheel, but what do they know? avus 09-06-2003, 03:51 AM simple More Power with a 6 speed yanges 09-06-2003, 04:07 AM Don't look too hard though...the xA doesn't come with traction control! They only put that and the VSC in the xB. The Scion execs said something about how they were expecting the xB drivers to be more aggressive behind the wheel, but what do they know? duh, i did not see the xA part..... i wondered how the Trac off button could be missed! :-) Mr_scion 09-06-2003, 02:48 PM i would like to see a awd turbo or s/charger starting under 18.000 http://www.scionlife.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif Black_RSX 09-06-2003, 03:26 PM i would like to see a awd turbo or s/charger starting under 18.000 http://www.scionlife.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif Haaa... buy a neon!!! :P Yeah... they atleast need a turbo or something... Mr_scion 09-06-2003, 03:38 PM and the option of leather eric_m 09-06-2003, 03:46 PM i would like to see AWD, 350hp to the wheels, a sunroof, 6 speed tranny, power leather seats, automatic climate control, and full function GPS system. for under $16,000 please. thanks. DoNuT 09-06-2003, 05:42 PM Don't look too hard though...the xA doesn't come with traction control! They only put that and the VSC in the xB. The Scion execs said something about how they were expecting the xB drivers to be more aggressive behind the wheel, but what do they know? So, because my xA doesn't have traction control, in a sense it's always off? No wonder I've spun em so much starting from steep hills =P avus 09-07-2003, 07:23 AM would like to see AWD, 350hp to the wheels, a sunroof, 6 speed tranny, power leather seats, automatic climate control, and full function GPS system. for under $16,000 please. thanks. add complimentary scheduled maintenance and a $4000 cash back offer at signing with 0% apr for 72 months and i'll think about it yanges 09-07-2003, 04:18 PM gotta get a BMW for that! :-) yanges 09-08-2003, 05:04 PM hey everyone what would you like to see in a next generation xB? i would like to see a Hybrid engine myself... how about you? but i would really like to see an all Electric xB with 300 mile range, top speed of 80 or so and self-regenerating batteries..... N600 09-08-2003, 08:02 PM i want the Japanese fold up rear seats!!!! http://www.toyota.co.jp/netz/car_lineup/car/bb/img/img83.gif also cruise control, sunroof & AWD! but that would be in a perfect world. oh yea, speaking of a perfect world 130, 140 or 150hp wouldn't be too far outside realistic, would it???? TheScionicMan 02-24-2004, 07:53 PM What it needs is about 30 more horses and another foot of storage behind the seat so you could haul a few things with the seats up. Maybe a Grand xB. I'd ditch the wife's Grand Caravan in a heartbeat. That folding seat kicks ___ too... Don't believe the Hybrid Hype... Those are only to keep the Auto makers under the average MPG requirements. Why would you want to spend $10,000 more to save a couple hundred in gas? They don't really save in the short run, maybe if you keep it for many years. And if you want to start with the "Green" angle, then let's discuss Lead/acid battery waste. SciJen 02-25-2004, 01:46 PM More horsepower! Maybe a V6? hee hee Munch 02-25-2004, 02:16 PM I would like to see alittle more HP and AWD. That would kick a$$ :twisted: showroom 02-25-2004, 03:04 PM you can get cruise controls from any parts dept in the southeast. have them ship it to you and have your dealer install it. AWD manual would be schweet. i've heard that VSC and TRAC are standard on the xB cos of a higher center of gravity...... rbloedow 02-25-2004, 03:36 PM i want the Japanese fold up rear seats!!!! http://www.toyota.co.jp/netz/car_lineup/car/bb/img/img83.gif also cruise control, sunroof & AWD! but that would be in a perfect world. oh yea, speaking of a perfect world 130, 140 or 150hp wouldn't be too far outside realistic, would it???? Scion s come with cruise control as a factory option..........if you live in the southeast!!! :P B WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! http://www.ryanbloedow.com/cruise.jpg Djuan 03-03-2004, 07:17 AM damn you SouthEastsiders, and your infernal cruise control !!!http://www.scionlife.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif DeanCouchey 03-03-2004, 05:27 PM I would love the lil xB truck with about 200 HP turbo'ed and with AWD, plus a sportronic tranny cause the wife doesnt like to use a clutch but I like to have control of the shifts. rattmobbins 03-03-2004, 05:52 PM I think the navigation from the bB would be tight, plus a FACTORY installed sunroof. Choise of bodykits would be cool as hell too. |
