the xd got the 1.8 the xb got the 2.4, the engines that were in the two at the show, as per the vp or pres of scion(whoever he was) said wasn't the production engine

 

Thanks Tomas for the report.

 

wants to blow the honda Fit outta the water? in what way? there are more of those driving around here than xA's and Yaris' combined. Now the new Scion are not in the same class of micro- compacts. ( engine too big). They are (will be)classed with Civics and minivans whether we want them to be or not. Honda Fit is best buy in it's class. So much for Scion, huh? Toyota's will always really be old fogey's cars. THat's the way it goes.

 

I was just looking at this old spy pic.

The 2008 xB has a similar front end - rounded on the sides, not all flat. Turn signals in the mirrors, huge C pillar, xA-ish antenna, two grilles, not three. It's missing a lot of the body panel (hood included) styling, but the basic details are there.

 

you hate flamers, do you?

go back to honda-tech you

 

"You know it kinda tingles alittle".....said the CEO of Honda.

 

Wonder if this sketch is close.

 

looks like it is sept the grill and hood meet, and the hood drops between the headlights, and the fogs aren't inside of those areas

 

It needs stretched out a bit. The new xB is longer than the current xB, not shorter. You did get the sloped-down hood captured, which none of the other artists have done yet. Good work.

There are several other details out there to be captured, and most of them are in this thread, in pages 5-8.

Man, if only I was at Miami , I would definetly sketch it with more accuracy.

 

I know, you have had some GREAT sketches in the past, you do good work. I wish you had been there.

 

Please forward all new sketches to this thread:
