Calling ALL xB owners....
Gen. 1 and Gen. 2 certainly look different, but they are still Scion xB's - no matter what generation. I am calling upon all xB owners to share in the coolness and uniqueness of owning this vehicle by recognizing each other when on the road. Let's not let motorcyclists have all the fun here.
So when you see an other xB coming at you on the road or at a light - flash a peace sign, make a wave or give a tumbs up and be proud of the hip-butt vehicle we all tool around in!

I've been waving at other Scions for 3 plus years. xB2s not so much cause they don't stand out like other Scions do. I also get to do the Bike wave thing when out for a ride.
Nothing gets me more mad
than when someone uses the word SQUARE in trying to describing an xB2. Sorry 
but the xB2 doesn't share in the uniqueness and coolness with the xB.
It's also NOT a Toaster or BOX!!!!!!
Not really sure what it could be nicknamed?
Maybe a cute ute??? 
It's a shame
that Scion/Toyota was too lazy to give the xB2 it's own name and identity. Instead it tried to ride the coat tails of the real/classic xB. 
The xB2 does well for it's self if you want a tC with a different look to it.

It seems that people don't notice me much, so I usually flash my headlights hoping that will get their attention. I don't know what it is, but I can spot xB's on the other side of the freeway while driving 80mph - they just stand out so well.

I've tried waving, but most people don't wave back or they don't notice me. Maybe it's because most of the xB owners I have encountered bought the vehicle not because of the community, but because it was an dependable, economical investment. Plus, they are usually over 45 and don't want to be bothered with some 25 year old guy waving at them.

It just seems natural to me 'cause I've been waving to other motorcyclists for years -- sometimes even when I'm not on me motorbike!
