it's not really that much for a s/c or turbo kit people most of the times deals can be had for less than 3000. thats less than a 1/4 hell in some case 1/5th the cost but it makes the cars WAY more fun.

Rather than struggle with the Beetle/PT Cruiser conundrum of trying to update the styling of a car with such a definitive design, Scion vice president Jim Farley says the division will scrap the xB as part of its "disruptive" product strategy of dropping models and replacing them with something else. "The next xB may not look like the current one, and it won't be called xB either," says Farley.

Aren't the xB's outselling the xA by like two to one?
That is a real head-scratcher. Why quit on a car that sells well and gets good press with a large custom crowd following it? Oh, I forgot, tons of people are tricking out those Camry's...
