The xA replacement will be a completely different car. I know that it will be a 4dr though.

I got this information by cross talking between different dealerships. Eventually if you talk about stuff enough, people will start to divulge the truth. Also, there's a dealership in the area that is already starting a list for the xB RS4.0 (Mazora Red). RS4 is going to be sweet from what I saw.

Hmmmm...I'm not sure if I get what you're saying. It's been confirmed we are not getting the new bB but you said it would be similar but a different bodykit from the JDM/euro market. So does that mean similar in the sense that it is the bB but with new aero styling or just a new model that resembles the bB? I've heard from lots of people that it will incorporate more of the t2b styling. I'm not saying you're wrong but this sort of contradicts most of the info about the new model. :?

let's just say the new xb will have bad gas mileage , weigh more , will be wider , taller , longer. oh and imo a lot uglier.

I understand that this thread is filled with a vast amount of utter speculation and BS, but all that aside, if the gas mileage on the xB gets nixed too much, I'll be very disappointed in the brand.

Aside from the personality the car has, the other major selling point to me was the gas mileage (I travel a lot between Chattanooga, TN and parts of Kentucky.) and the reliability of Toyota products.

If the gas mileage goes away, I might be considering a Yaris or Prius in my future when it's time to replace my xB. I'm much rather stay with the Scion brand.

Spr0ket, umm european market kit? From wat I kno, the bB or xB isn't available in Europe. I think the dealer was smokin crack on that part. I hope the 08 xB or w/e its gonna be called doesn't look anything like the bB. Whats on the Torched Penny (name of the RS 4.0 color) xB?

w/details. Please!!
