View Full Version : When can we build one?

I was wondering when Scion will update the site so we can atleast build what we want and know our price. I am first on the list at the dealership that I am dealing with and I dont want to have to wait until after I get it to have them have to send it back to port just to install certain stuff. Does anyone have a clue when they might update the site? :ponder:

Not sure about the website, but my dealer said that he can generally begin ordering cars about 3 weeks before release, so I am gonna call him starting the 22nd.

Good question SXb04! I was wondering this myself.

I would have thought they would release the "Build Scion" updates after they released the accessory pricing.

I personally have no idea, but if I had to guess I would say that the web site will be updated around the first of next month. By that time, the first dealers should start to recieve them.

I already put a deposit on one at my dealer. They didn't know the price of any accessories, so I just told them to give me the thing stock and I'll add stuff later. If you want one soon, you may want to go ahead and talk to your dealer. It sounds like they will be very limited the first few months.

just found out. new scion.com goes live on april 26th. the site is already done they are just waiting to put it live until some of the older stuff sells. that gave them some times to do some tweaking and make sure everything works.

so check it out, april 26th and build your new xB

Finally the last phase until I get mine. :D This puts the icing on my cake now I wont have to worry about any more of the Run Around of not knowing what the hell is going on and when I am going to get one which will be a little later then what I thought from that last thread on this forum.

Does that mean that they will have all the official specs including the mpg figures by Apr 26th so that we know what we're buying?

Someone in another thread quoted a Scion official as saying the MPG would be announced on the 25th. I heard on another board that Edmunds should be announcing the "full specs" today...but not sure if that is true/how to find out.

probably not, lol.

My money is on the whole thing being a hybrid that gets 9876 MPG in the city and 11.2 on the highway, then they'll launch that info the day they launch the car with 100000000 to sell so i make lots and lots of money

Its the 26th no new site :flame:

The new site is now up, sort of.

On the main page, they are showing the 06 xB, but if you go into the "build", it has a pic of the 08. The base prices, etc. are still shown for the 06, they have not been updated. The colors have been updated. The price of the accessories, who knows?

There are no additional specs on the page, so no news on MPG, etc.

With Toyota having so long to get this web site together, its a very poor excuse for one. I sure hope the new xB is better done than their site is!

It is the 26th all day

it is only about 6:50AM in California as I type this.

You could at least let somebody get to work and have a cup of coffee before you get too excited. :wink:

Yeah, they're not at work yet, lol. I bet it comes up this afternoon. We'll see.

I have access to the test site they were building and it looks really cool, but it still had bugs . . . hope they get it all fixed. The last thing we want for the launch of the new B is a bunch of confusion about wheel locks and all, lol

It should be up by 2morrow. They usually launch it mid day to mid evening. Well they may do it like that, they've done it that way before so.

The "first drive" was interesting. The only real complaint was some body roll and understeer, both of which will be helped immensely by the TRD rear swaybar. (already the first item on my list)

Let's take bets!

We'll use Central time, well because that's where I am at, lol. It is 9:38 where I am at while I am posting this.

Instructions. Copy this list and add you name to the time slot you think the website goes live in Central standard time. Thats right, I made up the game, so I get to pick the time zone, lol. I'll even make up a prize. The person to pick the correct time will get some want2bsquare.net orange fuzzy dice! they are pretty cool, they look like a square headed person from that site! Guess away, one person per time slot, and tommorrow doesn't count. you can only pick one time slot! have fun!!

In all fairness, I thought the guy was off-base on the gen 1 xB. He makes it sound like a terrible vehicle.
With height and width measurements that were nearly identical, the old xB upended so many basic car-design conventions that it became something of a curiosity — a toy. It was adorable to some; silly to others.

Less like a toolbox on coasters and more like, you know, a real car.
:roll:
Anyway if you ignore that kind of junk, the article was OK.

Sorry rules are rules. Follow the instructions and you can win, if you don't care to you won't win! This is easy and just for fun, I am willing to send someone a prize for the sake of a good time, but not if you aren't willing to read the post and follow very basic instructions!

I am sure it was an oversight and no one is upset over some fuzzy dice, but everyone is welcome to grab a spot on the list, CENTRAL TIME, ONE PERSON PER SLOT. The first person to post up with their name in a slot gets that slot, and you only get one slot, after your time has passed I guess I would let you take another slot if the site isn't up yet.

Aww darn! I lost. Fiero shouldn't win cause he doesn't own a Scion. :rofl: j/k man! Congrats! Dang 22/28, that's not good. Oh wait, I forgot how the EPA changed their numbers and stuff.

As posted in the other thread, the 2006 xb with a manual gets 26/30 in the 2008 tests, so expect about 3 mpg less in real-world mixed driving. Stop-and-go city driving could be as diff as 5 mpg depending on severity. Seems like a great tradeoff for way more power and space.

Yeah, comverted to the 2008 standards, it somehow beats the tC by 2 mpg city despite 100 extra lbs and way crappier aero.

How sure are we that they are displaying gas mileage for the 2008 standards? How is it possible that it beat the tc when the gearing is the same? Is it beacause it has slightly less hp than the tc?

It is illegal to advertise a mileage figure other than the EPA rated mileage. Since the 2008 xB is a 2008, it MUST be tested under the 2008 standards.

The mileage difference comes from a different tune, (new engine is tuned to be optimal in the 2008 tests because they knew that is how it would be tested) and also from the electric power steering. EPS offers a noticeable mileage improvement because it is much more efficient than the traditional hydraulic systems.

Yes it does look good.
I think I just found a small error.

On this page it shows the First Aid kit as Standard equipment
http://www.scion.com/#xBStandardFeatures_safety

On this page it shows as a $29 accessory.
http://www.scion.com/#xBAccessories_interior_ownersportfolioFAK
On this page it says it has "P205/55R16 All Season Tires on steel wheels with full 15 wheel covers"
http://www.scion.com/#xBSpecs_dimensions
Not sure what "full 15 wheel covers" are I guess.

Nothing that is a big deal.

I noticed in the specs it still does not list behind the seat cargo capacity. Anybody see it?

My mothers xB has arrived in California, as soon as its loaded on the train, we will get the VIN.

Dealership is going to install the stereo themsevles to avoid a port delay. The only modification my mother is getting is 3m clear bra installed on the front end and mirrors.

It sure looks a bunch better than it did yesterday!

When I tried the site yesterday morning, front page showed the 06, but 08 picture was on the build-one section. Showed it to my wife and she was like "WTH?"
She was really PO'd cause she wanted to see the options for the 08, so she could get hers built the way she wants it.

After looking at the site, all I can see a need for is for someone like her where you can choose ALL of the options with just one click. :rofl:

At least now I know why "viewpoint" software was spewed onto our machines yesterday as the new version of the site needs it to work. Why Scion / Toyota went with that makes you wonder, its not exactly the market-standard of media software.
