Default Any 1st gen. owners thinking about adding 2nd. gen?

My wife actually likes the 2nd. gen xB so we may end up with one for a daily driver. It's cool with me cause I can stop putting miles on my xB. Any others in this same situation?

She doesn't like the D so it will be a B for sure. It will be strange to have something and not mod it for a change.

Watch me NOT mod that thing. 1st. gen is the modded one. It may get floor mats and crap like that but not any serious mods!

That is unfortunatly the case... for every one modified one I see, I see at least 7 stock ones.

Will you at least get it with the five axis kit? That lip kit makes it a 1000 times better.

In all seriousness though, the new B is going to be a pretty sweet ride. Have fun with it.

The good thing about all those stock Scions rolling around is that they will be available in a couple of years at a decent price. As to the xB2 and xD.....I will have to wait and see.

I'm planning on it being around 17K. It will be just a driver, no body kits or anything. Bone stock for a change.

We're planning on replacing the minivan soon, with something smaller.

But whether it's the xB2 will depend on:

1. Is it easy to get in and out of, like a crossover or a minivan (or an xB1)>

2. Will it tow 1000 pounds (officially)?

3. Does it offer more bang for the buck than the 12 other cars it now appears to directly compete with?

We'll have to test drive one to find out. Meanwhile, I wish I'd bought a second xB1 and left it in the original packaging for later.

by the time I finish paying off my 06 xB Gen 3 will only have 1.5 years left. LOL. Maybe a Gen 4. :-)

no to thread jack but scion kinda lost me since they are departing from the whole huge interior space in a city car package. If anything ever happens to boxy loxy, I'll be going with a Rabbit.

My wife and I are looking to trade her 05 in. The saftey features would be nice. We have a kid so side curtain airbags are a huge selling point. I am keeping my 06 until the wheels fall off.

Hells no! I love the box as is. NOT the HHR copy.

I might get a used xA to add to the stable in another year though...
