GJ MOTZ! should have a section for all your JDM craziness

The rear end is similar to a Mercedez ML SUV due to its C pillar shape.

I would take those Projector headlights!

Maybe that really is the new xA (or xD). The guys who have seen the new car and who always post whenever someone posts an incorrect picture haven't said a word. Also, someone who saw the car several months ago said the front kind of looked like a Tc, and I can see somewhat a resemblance in that picture and the Tc (although the Tc's front looks better).

If that is the new xA, I'm glad I just ordered a 2006 (although it sucks that it isn't called a 2007 since they don't give end of year discounts).

If the xB replacement really is a foot longer than the current xB and that is the new xA, then my opinion is that Scion is going in the wrong direction. They may sell more cars, but I don't think they will be creating the image which Scion was supposed to create.

what i think would look way hot would be to refab the interior make it a 2 door sports hatch lower the seats shave a few inches off the roof and drop it 2 inches from stock hight and it would be one bad ___ car!

The butt looks like a Mercedes SUV, the earlier model. I'll keep mine.

I agree with you guys. This looks more like a mini SUV and has a much more mainstream look to it. How can you stand out in a vehicle like that?

I agree, I still get head turning looks at mine and it's stock. Hardly a day goes by that someone doesn't ask me something about it.

You know, a lot of times the version sold in the States is different than the version sold in Japan. I've been to Tokoyo and Okinawa and the models there are very different from what we have here.

I don't mind it at all actually. I am very happy with my purchase of my RS 3.0 xA now. I was worried that I might like the new model more but now I don't have to worry.

It looks like the offspring of a Versa and a Golf.

Can anyone who went to the Miami event confirm whether that is the new xD? The new pictures don't look near as bad as the originals. That isn't a bad looking car, but I don't think it is an improvement, and I don't think it looks as good as the current xA. I'm sure they improved it in other ways, but they should have at least make it look as good.

the car I saw didn't look like that, close, rear quarter window is gone, front end seemed different, had a 5axis body kit and 19's, bigger then our xA's by a little, never said anything about the powerplant, but then, I was pretty drunk by that time, lol. Someone said that they would be releasing pics of the cars 60 to 80 days after the event.
