Default gotta respect the Xb

went to the toyota dealership today with my gf(shes the one getting a new car..i'm keepin my tc

well she ended up looking at a Nissan, but since the toyota/nissan/lexus/Scion/Chevy/Corvette dealership is all in one, the guy drove us over to the Nissan lot

vehicle of choice...an RS4.0 Scion Xb(number 110 of 2500...i checked)!!!

im 6'2", so i figured id scrunch in the back..to my amazement, plenty of leg and head room


gotta give it to the xb...never really liked them at first, but growing more respect


NOTE: this is a very random emotion inspired post, regarding my new found fascination of the xb....please hold any stupid remarks...thank you...

Looks like the xB. :@)

I bought the xB in part because I'm 6'2". The xB's leg room is abfab.

My father (66 and 6'4") got in mine for the first time yesterday... first time that close to an Xb. He was really impressed with the ease of entry/exit and all the room! That's what sold me on the car. That, and 30+ mpg!

went to the new car show here in Indy...checked out the Versa...wasn't impressed. Glad to hear she chose the Sentra, but still think I'll keep my Scion a bit longer

I just got my new xBox today, I love this thing! Getting in and out is a breeze especially with worn out knees (old mechanic). I've been driving caddy's for the last 10 years, which I used to like, not to mention I love the speed and acceleration of the Northstar but this XB is just the ticket I've been looking for. Kinda like a big go-cart

The RS Xbs have a metal tag above the glove box that tells their production number and how many in series. Mine is number "923 of 2500"

The original xB will always be my vehicle of choice. Forget what the new ones look like. My bB ain't going nowhere anytime soon!

PS your GF could have done worse. She could have gotten a Cobalt or something.LOL
