OK, 300+ drunk people saw the new xB, but since no cameras were allowed there is no photographic evidence of the car. Lets see some sketches of any particular details that you remember.

I figured since someone responded directly to my sketches I should at least do one more. This one is based on the spy photo that has been floating around and comments I have seen.

Ok...so it looks like a mixed breed between the xB and the Fuse concept? Unless someone there was at least somewhat SOBER!! or Someone snuck in a camera phone...did they search you b4 u went in??

OK ... about this sketch ...

headlights .. make the center a square rather then a round projector. The only projector was on the outside. They also wrapped slightly towards the rear of the box .. kinda like the tC ... that is where the ornage refelctive lense is. Meaning that i cant smash and clear these headlights .. they will have to be baked.

The fog on the bottom ... make that vent that they sit in shorter in hieght. Maybe by 1/4 ... and then center them on the lower part of the bumper. Now ... from the fog light moving towards the center of the grill ... drag that shaded spot to a point about 3" in real scale ( just about where you have the indentation now. )

The hood needs to be longer. Fenders flared just a tad more.

Get rid of that line on the rear window. Its one piece now and its the most narrow at this back corner.

And .. not that it matters ... but the front grills are not mesh or honey comb on this one. This one had a solid piece of flat black plastic with tiny holes ( bout as large as a kernel of corn ) randomly placed through out. And both allow air to pass through to cool the radiator.

08 xB rendering

the things is...isnt' the model shown at Miami supposedly had the 5axis body kit?...was it a lip kit or full front replacement?


JC

The fenders are flared a bit more, but they have that flatness which is about 1"-1-1/2" all around the fenders, very reminiscent of the current tC and xA. I was not the biggest fan of it.

the front grill reminds me of the subaru redesign.

I have a side-profile shot of the T2B as my wallpaper on the system next to my laptop. If that's pretty close to what it looked like then I'm very very pleased. Love the looks of the T2B.

Once you guys get the exterior fairly well represented, would anybody care to take a wild stab at the interior?

Darrens is close ... but the air vents in front of the wheels are far too large. And .... the headlights were projectors.

And yes, the 5 Axis is an added lip kit. The Exhaust was 5 Axis as well.

Who's Darren?

^ how do you not know who Darren is? he's the owner of SL!!! I like the sketches you guys have made. Now if the real thing looks like the sketches, hmm.

i think they do...

I now want to see sketches of the interior.. I like the placement of the shifter ~

No suicide doors I see..........

Uhhh.... are you kidding?

watching...

wow, looks like I'll be jealous of the 08+ xb owners because that really looks nice.

But I think I'll stick with my OG box.

Hey-

Three sketches have been posted. They are from:

1) RTon20s
2) Guamsilverbox671
3) funktional

Can the folks who attended the Miami Event indicate which sketch they feel is the most accurate or closest to what the 2008 Xb revealed there looked like?

http://www.scionlife.com/gallery/personal/46288_1.gif

The second pic is about as close as My limited abilities allow me to show what the '08 will look like stock...what you saw in Miami is total 5axis work.
I used the scionlife xB pick, since thats how this car was based too. The changes externally aren't so huge, and the size difference probably wont even register with people until they park it next to an 'old' xB. enjoy.

Okay...lets revise things...At least Five (5) sketches have been posted. In this thread they are from:

1) RTon20s
2) Guamsilverbox671
3) funktional
4) JettoNinjin

and

5) then there is the "sketch" at http://thehollywoodextra.blogspot.com/2007/01/new-scion-xb-replacement.html#comments which was posted in another thread on this forum.

So I'll ask again:

Can the folks who attended the Miami Event indicate which "sketch" they feel is the most accurate or closest to what the 2008 Xb revealed there looked like?

The suspense is killing me!!! :crazy:

Considering that a thread is locked with #5 and no one that went to Miami is "confirming or denying" the accuracy of it, I'd say that it is the most accurate if not the exact production model. But what do I know...

It's very close, but it is not the exact production model.

So I digress to my "most accurate" comment. I'd like to see more Miami winners comments on it, but it seems few have logged in today, or perhaps they are avoiding it all together. I'm a conspiracy theorist at heart, so, my mind may be over-calculating the circumstance.

DFWDJ makes me think the question I should ask the Miami winner's first is:

What were the terms of the confidentiality agreement or other paperwork you had to sign or agree to in order to attend the Miami event?

If you can tell us this, then perhaps the people on this forum can then ask questions you might be able/permitted to give answers to?

I didn't attend, so my sketch really doesn't count. It was base on was was describe by other post.

There was no NDA, and the above picture is pretty close, but it is not a picture of the car. It's a sketch, and a close one, but not a perfect representation.

I posted this info on this thread:

Mmmm...

I adjusted my sketch to try to capture the pic.

Oh well.....guess will have to wait til Feb.

Guam: you are real close, but you need to have the top of the windows slant downward as they go back, and add the ridge across the hood that is (very roughly) shown here:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/lufox/08-1.jpg

nice work on the renderings, but if they are anything close to the real one, im not feeling it

I don't have photoshop, so this was done with the crappy "paint" that comes with windows. Sorry for the horrible work done here.
I reworked the 'hollywoodextra' pic a little bit. This is more like it:
http://www.scionlife.com/gallery/personal/46288_2.jpg
^^pretty much is the xb coming.

http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3545/557/400/894221/scion.jpg
^^Hollywood extra version.
It's not so bubbly in the front, and is a little beefier in the butt end.
Headlights are more in line with the grill, like the current xB. The hood doesn't have the huge wave they put in it. My alteration isn't perfect, of course, but pretty much what the car looks like.

I believe the origianl pic is a photoshop mutant of the t2B and the new RAV-4, but not so far off anyways!!

how this....

Should the grill be moved also?

Adjusted the front end.....

Hmmm, i actually like it :P lol i though i was going to HATE IT! but it still KINDA/SORTA has the boxey shape but not really but its actual nice! but i still like the 1st gen wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than the 2nd gen IMO! :P

Nice

Why the wheel off? Someone make it to the SEMA measuring event?

5 lug 4 wheel disc brakes looks like they had to beef it up a little to accomodate the new power
