It is my opion that the new XB body is ugly! It looks just like all of the other cars out there now. Just take a look at all the new body types of the mid-size cars from Cadilliac, Honda, Bmw, Mercades, any car company that has out a mid-size car. The new gen looks just like it. The same front nose shape, wide and rounded.

It's not original or unique and more. It's more blendable, it doesn't stand out any more. It's so easy to find my Xb in the parking lot. There are very few cars that look like mind do. How many times have you been with a friend who had a sedan, and they forgot where they parked? How many cars looked exactly like thiers?

The new gen Xb is nice and drives nice but why change the body style? Does it help with gas mileage... NO. I went to the preview and saw and drove it. The changed the inside too. I like my one cluster control panel. They changed everything except the name.

If anyone out there loves thier 1st Gen Xb as much as I do please let them know. Tell them to bring back gen 1!!!

Gen 1!
Gen 1!
Gen 1!

 

Someone close this.

 

 

 

^^^ isnt that ship sitting a little low in he water?

 

I get stopped all the time with people asking me about my "box" ... people are intrigued by the square weird shape. The 2nd generation xB does not have the "charm" that the original box has - in my opinion.

I would never sell my 06 and get the xB2 !

Not hating on those that chose to get the new one, I appreciate that they are still in the Scion family, but I am disappointed Scion made our beloved square box on wheels a station wagon !

What say the rest of you 1st generation ???

Mods please lock this thread, quiiiiiick!

 

I like the new xB except for the headlights they kill the car.

Has anyone actually flagged this? I will... I agree that the new one isn't as good as the old one, but we've all been through this numerous times.
