well color is not that good, i agree.. i dont like the centred exhaust.... but at least they TRD lowered it right from the factory... that 4" gap in the rear ____es me off... cant wait to lower it... and how hard is it to make TRD deep dish or something? i mean XB are meant to be lowered and be driven on deep dish wheels... meh...
btw are you playing anywhere this weekend?

Okay i'm back here. Honestly forgot about this place... which is why I haven't been to any of the meets. I'm always checking the other forum for stuff and for some reason keep disregarding this place. I'll see if I can set up my account so I receive an email when i get a pm.

I'll give you a little update on my toaster. I'm giving up modding it indefinitely for a few reasons. One is i'm getting married in August so can't afford anything extravegant for a while, and i'll be focussing my efforts onto my project car: 1991 Suzuki Swift GTi.

I'll still gladly join in on any meets or possible events in the near future!

I was just doing a bar show at the Finch, nothin too wild.

I don't mind the center exhaust but just the look of it overall doesn't seem that unique, almost like the stock XB. At least with yours, you can see the Release detailing.

I see that there's an optional spoiler for it too but it's not the usual one moulded piece, which is what I want on mine. This new one isn't that bad though.

Some shots from the 2010 Montreal Auto show. They brought out the pretty rides as they're obviously one of the launch cities. This RS looks decent actually. Must be the rims.



It's been nearly a decade since Toyota launched the Scion brand in the U.S., and now it's arriving in Canada. Designed to target Generation Y consumers with its youthful image, Scion vehicles have proven to be popular south of the border - especially with tuners.

Canadian consumers will have to get used to seeing Scion's small box on wheels, the xB, which will compete directly with the Nissan Cube and Kia Soul. The model shown in Montreal is a limited edition - the 7.0 Series - with sports door sills and a rather atypical exterior colour. Powering the xB is a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine producing 158 horsepower. It's currently featured on the Corolla XRS, and will be available with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.



Pictured is the winner of the annual Scion Tuner Challenge - a modified version of the tC coupe, with a wider body, turbo kit and oodles of in-car entertainment technology.



Lastly, Toyota Canada introduced the small xD at the Montreal show. Tuned by MV Design, it features a 5-Axis body kit, custom wheels, sports exhaust and suspension, and an upgraded Pioneer sound system. The base model available in Canada will be more restrained. The entire Scion line will be launched in Canada in September through 45 dealers across the country.

Color does look soo much better in real life!!!
btw spotted White xb2, i was driving CTS so me waving at him would be weird, lol... so much easier to get attention of fellow scion drivers, when you are driving scion as well lol
anyways... White xb2... 18/19" silver alloys, flush with fenders, little dropped, fully tinted, fog lights and rear spoiler... never seen him before

Nah, I called Alan and left him a voicemail but it was later in the day. It's all good though, I got to clean the XB for about a half hour in a nice warm garage, so it was time well spent.

I tagged another Gen1 XB the other day. Dark blue one, it's got a Bute Toyota sticker on the back gate. I'd say it's the same one I saw a few weeks ago.

t'is fine here but Lloyd is about 3.5hrs north of Calgary, so it does tend to be a bit chillier.

Are you going up through Alberta or by Saskatchewan?
