None of these models fill the roll, the platform size is qrong and so is the engine drivetrain. The elongated xB pictured in the spy photos is pretty much the idea on the xB. The xA is something none of us have seen yet but we know the platform and engine. Maybe a Matrix size car with the 2.4L and the ability to upgrade the performance. It feels right for Toyota as long as the price stays in the $15 - $17k range.

Xb's replacement looks like crap, the xa's replacement will probably look like crap. Who cares? You aren't buying these, we already own the current xb/xa so quite complaining. If anything, sales will drop and our values will increase because of it.
Unless you know something that nobody else here does, you have not seen the new xB yet. We are getting a different model than the new bB.
As for the xA I was told that it will go in a slightly different direction than the current model. Beyond that, we dont know anything at all.

Search online or on scionlife for "Xb replacement spy photos" or "2007 xb spy shots" or something along the lines of this. You will see after searching a bit what beholds for the xb, this is the last year for the xb. As for the Xa, no one really knows what will happen to the Xa after 2006. Time will tell.
The tC hasn't been out long enough for a replacement, they may do minor changes to it for 2007 like they did with the Xa with the grill, and the bumpers. Other than that, i don't see anything drastically changing. Too soon. It's funny how people see the xb will be replacement, it automatically fears people all Scions will be replaced or redesigned. tC guys shouldn't even be considering what it will look like until we hit 2007, Xa people i don't know, nothing has really come out yet in terms of what Toyota plans to do with it.

This micro-convertible with a 660 cc turbo engine was only meant to be a plaything produced in very small numbers for Japan. But it was so successful that it was exported. And here it is, now with a 1.3-litre engine producing 87 bhp!
Finally a left-hand drive
Until now, fans of the little Daihatsu convertible had to drive like the British. But, in addition to a new, more powerful engine, the Copen's interior architecture has been adapted to suit its European and American customers, i.e. it is now available as a left-hand drive.
