Just wondered if anyone has seen this. Is this any indication of what the next xB will look like. It looks as those someone has taken the current xB and modified the front to resemble the T2B.

Any thoughts?

I saw that photo this morning.
I'm not sure it looks like a mutant or mutt. :loser: (t2b front with xb rear)

it looks similar to the new toyota bB.. :question:

it won't be coming over to the states. scion has it's own plans on the xB replacement and official news should be coming within a few months.

Here is a better link, enjoy: http://thehollywoodextra.blogspot.com/2006/10/another-day-another-chinese-copy-or.html

SquallLHeart....That is not the new Toyota bB. Check out the Japanese website. This mutt doesn't look like the new bB at all.

Compare this pic to the previous pic on hollywood blogspot.

Man...I hope that this is not a leak on the xB replacement...just a new face on the xB with the 2.4...does not look longer then the xB so i will call fake...

If you read a little bit on what the site said about the photos, these are Chinese knock-offs. That is what the Chinese are notorious for. They take a product, steal the design, and manufacture cheap knock offs. Most times finding savings with methods that reduce vehicle safety.

Thanks for everyone's feedback! I knew it was a Chinese knock-off, but I was curious about if the next xB would have a similar front end, if the speculation of the new xB being 85% T2B concept is correct.

:ponder:

I understand that's it's a Chinese knock-off... But what front bumper did they knock-off?? It's not the new bB. It looks more like a finished version of the t2B concept. Maybe the chinese know something we don't know... :ponder:

Hell, we could very well be looking at the final front-end look of the new xB. Maybe the Chinese have seen it and just copied it before the official debut.

HA HA---that is what the Japanese use to do.

It would be funny if someone bought this front end from Taiwan or something and put it on his xB then simply posted it on the net. Then people come along who guess "Chinese Knock-off, Chinese Knock-off."

well what ever it is i think the front end is ugly in my eyes

i think the Yaris front end on the xA looks nice, however I am very worried that the new xB is going to look like that pic. I question this because where did they get a t2b front end if it isnt even into production yet??? Thats what troubles me. If it does end up being that pic i think it will hurt Scion's sales on the new xB cuz that looks bad imo...

How can it be a knock off when the T2B front end is only found on a private prototype? Did they just take videos and photos of the prototype and make this front end? If so, they did it pretty well.

The saga continues...
