I've thought about this for awhile, and with Scion being technology based, you would think that they would make the manuals available for download. The cost of $200+ for a "printed" manual is rediculous! I would assume that the manual was created with a computer and that saving the data in a .pdf format has already been done to publish the manuals.
Perhaps we should start a poll on this.
I'm sure that virtually everyone would rather search a computer document for the data needed and print just those pages.
DON'T LET THIS THREAD DIE!!!!

Take caution if you plan on transfering the manuals to .pdf because I think Toyota/Scion probably has a "copyright" on these manuals.
If the manuals are made available in any other format, I think only Toyota/Scion can do this.

The manuals can be downloaded from the following website:
http://techinfo.toyota.com
It does require a fee for use.
10 dollars a day or 50 dollars a month.
They also have a yearly fee of 350.
If you do join for 1 day make sure you join in the morning and download as much as you can before midnight of that day.
All accounts expire at midnight.
I was able to download the entire manuals, TSB and accessory instructions in less than 2 hours.
With this site you can download any manual for Lexus, Toyota and Scion for only 10 dollars.
If you know how to get binaries from newsgroups PM me and I will tell you which newsgroup that I have seen the posting the xB manuals
Sorry for the teaser I didn’t have the link at work, I had to wait until I got home.

THANKS. :D
There's a LOT of clicking involved as the manuals are split up into subsections of 1-5 pages each so plan on spending some quality time with your computer. But it sure beats $200+ for the full set of manuals.
