Default Top 10 fuel economy...

Especially notice the second comment - about Scion.

(I do believe Scion took their eye off the ball and made some serious mistakes with the xB2, even though it is a good vehicle that I have recommended to others.)

The xB now is a billion times better than the old one. I can't imagine ever driving the gutless ugly mobile around. If the xB2 never came out as it did, I wouldn't be driving a Scion.

okay, scion has 3, count'em 3 models, why do they all have to get stellar fuel econ? let toyota who has like 30 models for sale make a dozen or so models that get over 30 mpg, while scion offers one fuel efficient model and two slightly less fuel efficient models. it ain't like they're gas hogs either.
