Big pimping, finally got my xB :P NOW WITH PICS!
WOOT! I got a call from the dealer today saying that they had my car in :D Not only that, but they threw in a free cargo net :D Way to go Panama City Toyota!
ONe thing I think is very weird is the feeling of the clutch/shifter - there's hardly and feedback at all and they're a little clunky. The ones in my Honda let you know exactly what's going on, yet they're silky smooth at the same time - I guess that'll take some getting used to
I just can't get over the reaction of people when they see it. You should have seen all of the stares and smiles I got when I drove it home.
Anyway - I can't get this grin off my fact - I'd so glad it's finally here!!!!!!!

Congrats! Glad you finally got it.Hondas make a damn good tranny( if not the best), that might be hard to get over. Im sure you'll enjoy it though. The honeymoon phase lasts quite awhile. Enjoy.
But, I can't use the cargo net and cover at the same time, so the clip from the free net that I got was a great replacement.

Congrats. Nice color too. Have you tried gently folding the side mirrors? Gotta love that!
Was it really a cargo net, like the one's on Scion's site? Because, there's also a net that is standard but is used to secure your tire/wheel when they are flat. It's somewhere in your Owner's Manual.

HHAHHA - oh well, the kid who was going over my car with me (his first scion) thought it was a net also and just told me not to say anyhting about it. Oh well, you can't win them all. 
Anyway, after 230 miles in two days I'm averaging 27.8 mpg in city traffic.
