Default How many XA's do you see driving around town?

I'm buying a 06 BSP XA, it will be arriving in a couple weeks :D Normally when I get interested in a car I start noticing them everywhere I go but I've been watching and have only noticed a couple XA's driving around town. I live in a pretty good sized town, not Seattle big but good sized. Maybe they are out there and I'm just missing them. Sure doesn't seem like many on the road for as long as they have been out. I don't mind though, just makes my XA a little more unique. How many do you pass out on the road?

I used to never see them, like <1 every 2-3 weeks. Now, with the exception of one guy who I see on my daily commute to work, I see about 1-2 a week. They're still pretty rare. Now xB's.... whole other story. I see at least 2-3 a day.

I would say I see an xA in my area maybe 2-4 a week, but they are all stock.
So far, I'm the only one in my area that has a modded xA. xA's are unique, which makes it an awesome car to have.

I see xB's and tC's all day long.

I must live xb heaven because I see at least 4-5 a day. Even my friend drives one. However I've only seen about 3 other xAs in my area and I can go days before seeing one. I once even had the privlage of parking next to an xb an tC together in a row, my xA completed the set

I see one every few days, and I ALWAYS wave, but I have only received one wave back. To date, I have seen only two xAs (on the road, not counting shows) that were not driven by overweight women in their 40s.

I was seeing them pretty rarely up until I started school last year. I guess because my school is in a business area, I see quite a few xA's now, but they're all stock. I've only ever seen one that has anything more than just dealer optional wheels, and it was pretty nice.

all the xa's and 99% of the b's are owned by old people here, I even saw an xb up in conway that had 5 300+ pound women in their 70's 2 kids in it, and they were waiting on 2 other guys to get out of the restaraunt, stock xb sitting frame

I live in a smaller town. There is no Scion dealer around here for 50 miles.
Last year I was the only person in town with an xA, and now there are 2 blue xAs running around here. I see 'em about once a month now.
I see an xB nearly daily, if you count the 2 xB taxis in town. Three's always some xB around town if you keep your eyes open for them.
I rarely see a tC. Maybe one every 4 months or so, if someone from out of town drives through.
Pretty sure every Scion around here is driven by an old person. I'm 42 and by far the youngest driver of the group. Sheesh!

For some reason, where I live, it's mostly old ladies who obviously leave them completely stock, kick on"s and all.

Around our small town....I only see one, and it's in my carport....LOL.

But even in Jackson, I hardly ever see one. There's a delivery company that has a few, but that's about it....I like the fact that they are the most rare scion.

I ended up seeing two XA's yesterday. One blue and one BSP. Didn't get to see either driver, they were both on the freeway. The couple of XA's that I have seen driving around in town were both being driven by younger people though. I'm planing on lowering my XA slightly, adding wheels, tint ect. Keeping it pretty mild as it will be my daily driver. This two weeks of waiting for my car to show up is going to be rough.

I usually see about 2 or3 a day. Including mine with 2 at work. Seriously though I usually see 2 or 3 others per day on my 70 mile round trip commute.

in Windermere, Florida there are a bunch. Looks like a lot of people here like it, from teenagers to grownups. Last night at the local Publix there were 4 parked close to each other and during the week we see maybe 4-5 by Isleworth and down town Windermere
