I think the boxiness and sharp angles might work slightly like stealth technology. 
(either that, or the speedo is not calibrated correctly?)

As for speeding tickets? Hmm.. the best way to avoid those is get a nice set of *****

Price of the xB: $15,000
Price of the mods for the xB: $5,000
Getting out of a ticket (brought on by the xB with the mods), because you have *****?
Priceless.
*****. There everywhere you want to be.

Yes I did sell my Evo. At least I sold it to my brother, so I will still be able to drive it on occasion. Hey, I'm poor now. Buying a 1/2 million dollar home will do that to you. The xB costs half that of a new Evo.

My old car was a 400+ HP LT1 powered Caprice....
I did not get tickets because the cops all new me from my car and my plates....
However I am picking up my brand new xB today at about 5 pm. I made my decision based on
1: mpg (I used to get 10-15 burning premium)
2: interior space (seating space mostly)
3: Toyota reliability
4: low purchase price
5: unique looks

now i feel much more inclined to just lean back with a "look at me" attitude ;)

STEALTH TECH !!!
I can`t believe it, ANOTHER reason to have an xB!!
also:
I had 4 Honda`s in a row, extremely boring.
I can`t wait until Im able to turn it into a WOODY !!
The way it drives, its fun/quick/turns great.
Gas Mileage
Space and Roomy seating.
It reminded me of a Milk Truck or Ice cream truck. ( But the other day I saw a white xB with a big RED CROSS on it, a medical delivery truck. I love that!)
Cool Stereo and amount of speakers .
Im a MUCH more Relaxed driver- I dont get angry because a taller truck blocks my view ahead.
Im able to go as fast as I want and keep up with traffic and do inclines nicely.
Its a Toyota
