Default New xB Reviews.

Hey. Just ran across these reviews of the box on MSN and thought I would share. If they have been posted already, I apologize. http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/jo...Scion&model=xB

The boxy styling is a major selling point for these cars. It was for me at least...

Yeah, I dont think some people get it. These reviewers look to be old, not saying all older people dont, but maybe that is the reason.

Some older people do get it though...I drove by this older lady today and she mouthed to me "I like your car"...just depends. Hell some younger people dont get our cars.

Yeah I believe the critique is similar with Saab. The style really never changes so you either have a Love it or Hate it relationship. Personally I like the box look because of it's uniqueness.

i don't know about anybody else but i read the review and i really don't get any buzzing from my engine or wind noise....and also as a former saab technician i agree with the above statement...you either love it or hate it.

Does it really matter who thinks what? I bought it cuz I liked the room and the look, don't care to speed around, just wanted something different. So, I like it, I pay for it, and I enjoy it, it doesn't really matter what anyone else says or thinks. Period.

I like saabs as a off topic...but I dont have those problems either. I dont know maybe car reviewers are just sensitive to everything.
