Lets hope it actually happens this time. They could get the customers that Scion left high and dry with the new xB thing. I think I'd like to have 2 real boxes by 2 different manufacturers.

The Cube is an interesting vehicle, and it would be nice to have it brought over - but it's just not a Toyota, if you know what I mean...

Still, if something happens to Vanilla, and Toyota doesn't have a viable replacement for a tiny, low displacement/high volume citycar, I'd look at the Cube very seriously if it were here.

All kinds of potential on that thing. The US pics look even beter than my earlier post.
Isn't it funny that Nissan gets what the new management at Scion missed......
If you have committed to a " limited " number of vehicle choices and only 150,000 to 200,000 units sold per year ( total) , Why would you depart from your " City Car " concept to make a Van like TC? It betrays their lack of understanding of their customer on the original XB.

The article says that they are redesigning it. They will no doubt make it 600 pounds heavier--put in a 2.3 liter engine and reduce the MPG by 15-20%---LOL

Those Cubes look great. If I ever need a new box that will be at the top of my list...certainly not the xB2. And check out all of those vibrant colors in the Autoblog gallery. That's what Scion should be doing. I never understood all of the bland colors on the xBs since they are unique cars.
