Classifying the xB

[KingLou]

Ok..in my personal opinion........the xB is probably one of the most difficult to classify vehicles on the road today..........which is probably what makes it so appealing. However......if we were to classify it.........what would we classify it as? It's obviously not an SUV or station wagon........definitely not a sedan or sport coupe. I really don't know what I'd consider it. However........I'd say the classification that made the most sense to me I saw on the Discount Tire website. They refer to the xB as a "micro van"............which.......I know non of us probably want to think of our vehicles as a "van"............but it seems somewhat appropriate. What's your opinion? What IS the xB (aside from "motor vehicle")........or can it even be classified? KiL

George already went through this, nano bus is the term. Are you going to buy your bro's old rims for your XB?

As they roll it out nationwide, it'll probably be classified as a. . .bandwagon.

I've see it refered to as a four-door wagon in many magazines and websites.

[Djuan]

thank you thank you, been busy doing real estate. But now its time to give my car some attention too !

If I am not mistaken, discount tire company is BASED out of las vegas....When I was at one of the local DT stores, I was talking to whom I was told was the owner....he asked me what I classified my car as....I told him I callled it a micro van...

Maybe that is how the DT website came to refer to them as that..

I usually refer to it as a micro van...or could it possibly be a sport wagon??

Maybe not enough horsepower to consider it "sport".

But I am working on the HP part. Might end up as a sport micro van.

In that case, I'd classify the Alaska DMV as a Turd.

My new title from Maryland says it is a truck. Silly? Probably higher fees than a car.

I have heard it called an oversized hatch back. My insurance company calls it a sedan. I have also heard lunch wagon and bread truck.
