does anyone know when the 2006's will be coming out?'i want to see if there were any significant changes made.i was gonna purchase an 05 soon but if the 2006 is coming out soon i will wait and pick up the 06.

 

There won't be any significant changes to any Scion model. Each is designed to be produced for a few years, then phased out. That's part of the business model.

The xB is supposed to be replaced by a model called "t2B" which will be unveiled at the NY auto show on the 24th of this month, I beleive.

I suspect it will be released as an '06 at the end of this year.

If you want an xB, go for it, but if I were you I would at least wait and see what the t2B looks like. All we know is that it is a completely new vehicle, so it is bound to have some major advances over the 4+ year old bB/xB. My prediciton is greater safety, more power and a bit more refinement. That would be worth waiting for if you can.

 

I'd bet, if the t2B replaces the xB it won't be until at least the 07 model year, meaning mid 06 at the earliest for a release. It's no more than a concept at this point. No leak has happened to let us in on if they've started tooling for a production run. Judging from the ccX concept, I'd bet they're going to wait for a reaction before they spend any $$ tooling a concept up.

 

I would have to agree with jeer on this one.

 

soon my friend, soon....not a lot of changes though, mainly audio upgrades, iPod connection is the big thing though. But the 06's will be here shortly.

 

iPod connection WOO HOO!!!! OH yeah. Just what I want. Looks like I will be getting a 06 or 07 xB.

 

dude ill trade in my 04 for a 06 if its got a ipod connection

 

Thanks for the info but, how soon is soon onemorescion?when i say i was gonna buy the 2005 soon i meant like today but now i have to wait and see, lol. thanks

 

xA, xB: 7/4/05
tC: 5/16/05

The base audio gets the 1/8" minijack for pluggin external audio sources in, while only the 6-disc changer gets the iPod connectivity.

Both audio options are getting a redesign and will feature a jog shuttle control. I hope we get a volume ****.

I have posted this stuff many times before, and I'll answer questions to the best of my knowledge.

LATER

 

Do you think we'd be able to put the stereo's with the connectio into a tC?!

 

thanks for the info

quite frankly i would rather have that base AUX port so i can use anything allong with the ipod...

 

You can buy head units for a couple hundred that have that, it doesn't require a vehicle trade-in...

 

Good point for all those feeling like they should have waited just for an iPod connection...

 

why all the trouble for an i pod, get a deck with an aux in and you are set

 

For real. With the hit you'd take on the trade in you could get a very very nice audio system for your current car.

 

I believe the 06 will also offer chrome Door Sill enhancements and rear spoiler as standard equipment

 

exactly

 

UMMMM.... Don't think there will be an 07' xB. It will be fazed out after 06'.

 

Anyone know how much the price will change for each vehicle?

 

Will 06 model come standard with armrest? Any new color choices?
