Incredible that you keep that Yugo going. Amazing. But how do you do it? Do you replace every part every day? Seriously, I remember seeing them "new" with less than 1000 miles (yes, one thousand) on them with every major part broken: engine/bearings/starter/alternator/transmission/cluch/interiorparts/steering/brakes all completely broken.
Is there some kin of aftermarket that makes more durable parts, or do you just not drive it?
cool now ill have 2 rare vehicles
but at least there not going to bomb the production plant of the xb like they did the Yugo
hahahaha lol

It you look closely you will see that there is a hotwheels sticker on that Yugo. That is a cleverly disguised hotwheel toy that has been photographed to make it appear to be a real car...........

Anyway, I think I've come to terms with it. I shaved all of my badges anyway. As long as Scion sells a "boxy" car it's cool.
Maybe they'll rename it the Scion bOX. That could work for me.

IMHO...
I feel that Toyota is screwing the pooch by cutting off the xB production so soon after introduction (region by region)..the xB has really taken off, first in Cali., then the NW, now it is getting good sales in the south but the east coast and midwest have yet to reach their potential sales..
btw.. it's the "over 50" buyers that are boosting the xB's past the targeted sales...it just takes a while for us gray hairs to see the true potential of the box..
just my 1.75 cents worth

Well it's interesting that Scion decided in the final 6 months of production to introduce the steering wheel stereo controls. That should make xB's like my Salsa Red one actually a rare car.
And so much for "burnt penny" or whatever they were calling it...

shut down the assembaly lines for 07, to redo them for the new xB? maybe thats why they are going away for a about a year time period, and suppose the new xB will be be built in canada and the us, correct me if im wrong , the gen 1 xB is built in japan and shipped, the first letter in the vin, J, which means the car is built in japan. For me, that was the biggest thing, my car wasnt built in the US like my 03 cavy.

I'm fine with the xB going away. I just didn't appreciate the way they launched them. The inside states got ripped off big time. They have 1 full model year less of vehicles with which to use for resale and future parts cars. They should have been available nationwide all at once so I could have gotten an RS1.0 Lava instead of settling for BCP.
