it appears that previous posts stating that this new bB is smaller than the current version is correct. just imagining how much more room the longer wheelbase gives

Although the overall length has been shortened, the wheelbase is extended to create an interior space like that of the previous bB, and there are numerous, highly functional storage spaces.

Nope. Not interested. Nope! If I wanted a PT, which I didn't, I would have bought one.
"Square is Where" it's at.
Interior is fair but the most unique feature of the dash, the rounded up-top speedometer is gone. It looks like it humbly melted down into the rest of the dash like the rest of the cars in the world.
The exterior has the typical high back seat door so that if you have small kids in the back seat, they cannot see out of the window - Dummmmmmmmmmb.
Keep the new bB in Japan. Sell a million more xBs as they now are in the US of A.
On second thought, why not sell these PT (Barnum - as in "there's a sucker born every minute") want to be. It will make our xBs "of old" mor rare and thus more valuable.

you know, the more i look at it, the more it looks like the xA and xB had a love-child. An ugly, ugly, love-child.
I DO dig the interior, but I do not like the exterior. Primarily repulsed by the front end fascia, and the taillights.
But it's still uglier than an Aztek.

The aztec is hands down the ugliest vehicle in the last 20 years. This car has some mis-steps but its Nowhere near the aztec.

For some reason, from what my eye's see, I don't think it looks like a PT Crusier or even a HHR.....I think it looks closer to the micro mini-van's you see all over in japan, like the picture....... and in this post https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...=96932&start=0

cause with toyota's plan they don't want to keep a model in rotation for more than 3/4 years. thats why.
there is also a saying that says its better to change a year ealy than a year too late.
