Pretty similar to the non-5 axis that I saw!! Little different, but very close. Good find!
Don't know where that pic originated from...perhaps a little intentional disinformation from Toyota/Scion...Hmmm...

It does bear a striking resemblance as far as overall shape, but there are some differences between what we saw and what is pictured. Since the xB that was shown in Miami was a 5-Axis design with significant modifications, it is possible that this could be quite close to what is produced later this year. As for being exactly what was shown in Miami, I'd have to say no.

What I'd REALLY like to know is whether Miami winners are purposefully not commenting on the accuracy of this pic because of an NDA. But if an NDA is detailed enough to require nebulous descriptions and assign a common explanation for them ("I was drunk!"), then I'm sure the NDA prohibits discussion of the NDA, and I'll never know the truth.

That xB up there appears to be a drawing or photoshop, and it is a very good one. It's quite accurate, but not 100%
And the new xB is not the current JDM bB.

Looking like a refugee from the Tokyo motor show, this angry appliance on wheels is all about the interior. Hybrid powered - of course, it's a Toyota, and the company can do anything with a hybrid powertrain - the F3R has six side doors. The front two are conventional, and the rear four are pillar-free suicide doors with a reinforcement ring, like the Honda Element. They open to reveal a lounge interior, with three conventional rows of seats that can be arranged into a kind of big oval couch, like those family room pits popular in the '90s. The driver's seat reclines and swivels, but the system is designed so that you can't drive the minivan when the seats are configured like this. Even if the driver's seat is in place, the second row can't be reclined while driving because it makes seatbelt use tough. There are two track-mounted video screens and a three-tier instrument panel, the upper strip with a mode for driving and a mode for the lounge. The main floor is covered in a kind of mid-century style recyclable rubber (the front seat area uses recyclable bamboo and the textured seats, set up stadium style in their driving configuration, are of a nice supple non-leather material. Toyota describes the styling as a wedged-shaped profile with a high beltline, but it doesn't really matter. So what's going on here? It looks like Toyota is looking for new interior ideas to freshen the minivan segment. If Tokyo youth can buy bBoxes (Scion xB) as apartments away from home, why couldn't the F3R provide a solution to high Los Angeles real estate prices?
