Well so far there are 2 kinds of Scions and about 5 colors of each, so it would be nice if you could tell us which one you actually bought.

I picked up a Thunder Cloud Metallic xB, also went ahead and ordered a spoiler, AEM cold air intake, all of the carbon fiber pieces and a few of the billet pieces. 18's on the way. It should be sweet.

Cameron, sorry dude. As for the candy, I am not coming off any of it! JK
I hope it looks good when it is finally finished. Just got it Tuesday and finding out there is a ton of stuff already for these. Anyone with tips on getting the horsepower up besides the normal turbo or juice, let me know. I drive a Mustang GT and I need more power out of this box. Thanks for the welcome!

They are pepy, no doubt there. It takes to much gas to go fast in the stang, and now that I have this I want to drive it everywhere. I guess I will do some reseach about it. Doesn't the xB come with the same engine as the Toyota Celica?

Yep, no power But fast enough for me :D

There's a guy from Corona on this site with a supercharged Box. He dyno's at 122 HP. That's the most I've heard.

Agreed. I've been seriously considering buying an xB for a daily driver because of it's versitility and affordability. The reliablilty is a major plus as well as the unique styling. I can't afford to drive my race car if it should break on me and I'll be without transportation. Thankfully, I got a demo to drive courtesy of the company but if they ever took that away, I'll settle for a polar xB!

Who told you that?!

No, xA and xB come with the Toyota Echo engine. The only part that is from the Celica is the 5 speed manual transmission.
