I have the Perrin 4" stubby antenna and I like it. I got mine from amazon.com. Just search for "stubby antenna" in the "Scion xA" category and you will find several threads on stubby antennas, with pics.

I went here: http://www.stubbyantenna.com/ and ordered one. Ordered and got here in about a week.

Specifically, I got this one:

Pretty good, and only cost $13 total. Reception for the most part is just fine, except when I go under an overpass.

i've tried, and failed misserabley!

just pick up one for the honda s2k. that is what i have and it looks good and works good, only lost about 10% of the signal compared to the 6 foot stocker.
