Hey everyone, we are down to our last three 2006 xB's. BTW they are all release series in case you are wondering. But I ran across this info and thought it would help many of you out there that are thinking about possibly getting the new one. It has some good info on comparisons and changes for thh new xB over the old one. hope this helps out.

 

We need numbers, Bryan

 

Here is the list of Colors..

Colors
The exterior color palette for the new xB includes Super White, Classic Silver Metallic, Black Sand Pearl, Nautical Blue Metallic, Blackberry Crush Metallic and Hypnotic Teal Mica. All xBs will feature high-quality dark charcoal interior fabric.


I want to see what this color looks like in person

 

hmmm. i like all the standard stuff that was not even an option on the 1st gen. its a completely different vehicle. still dont think it should have been called an 'xB' though. i am curious as to what the pricetag will be...

 

i just dont know about it................

 

A lot like the picture, maybe a little darker, no sparkles or metallics though.

Here are some pics I took personally in Chicago.

 

That doesn't seem right. If it's a mica, it should be sparkly as hell and about 2 feet deep. Not questioning you, but was that really the color, or are they messing with the names?

 

I can't wait til the real 2007 bB gets here

 

You are right, it should be. The color does look good, though, even without the sparkles.

 

Idon't know if anybody notice the back up light,why only one,i think it looks out of place.why not have it in the right side also.thats the only thing i don't like,i will add another on the right side,

 

Price tag???

 

awesome info Bryan, thanks for sharing

 

Very cool

 

I heard roughly 1500 over the 06 xB, Dont quote me, just been hearing

 

WTF they moved the gauges back to the center, they were in front of the driver in miami... Man that just ruined it for me *LOL* I soooo hate the center gauges. Oh well!!!!

 

The upgrades are awesome, engine, brakes, options etc. The interior is nice.

However,

I just can't shake the feeling that Scion went from bieng "edgy" to producing a vehicle that by outside appearances looks.....welll......Suburbanized....too conservative as if to try and capture the looks and interest of a market that Scions "Phiposhiphy" of bieng different wouldn't really appeal too.

When I look at the 2 side by side...I just hear .......PT cruiser, HHR, station wagon......loooks blahzeey?


Just some thoughts.

Seeing in person may change my tune...doubtfull but anything is possible.

 

Seeing them in person changed my mind.

 

Awesome info guys. Thank you

 

drive it for a week, then tell me that. It's a little weird at first, but now I hat moving my hands so I can look throught the steering wheel at the gauges.

 

I am still waiting to see them in person for my final opinion.
Hardest part it trying to compare it to the box we have now to the new body.
