Rumor has it that xB go bye bye next year!
Rumor has it that xB go bye bye next year! Just something a little bird told me. It makes sense, the reason being the bB started on the market in 2000. So next year would make it due for a body change. That's kinda cool, that makes my RSV1 even more limited. How true? Any comments? :?: :?: :?:

with the way the current xB's are selling - no way, toyota will wait until the sales curve starts to drop before they discontinue what is otherwise a brand new US model car.
you gotta remember toyota is a big company and as such they are more concerned with making $$$ not keeping things fresh and cool.

Hows this for sales .... Toyota is now #2 in total auto sales, nudging out Ford.
#1 GM @ 8.something
#2 Toyota @ 7.68
#3 Ford @ 7.62
Those figures were on the evening news, and thats in Billions. Detroit is losing ground fast, and with the developement of the Scion line, it doesnt help the gaping wound for the big 3.

I've also hear the xB is going to be discontinued early to keep it rare (not from any good source, just a rumor...I think we all read that motortrend article), but not by next year! I'm sure they'll give national sales at least 2 years before they yank it for something else. who knows though.

Personaly I dont think they will change the body style or even take it off the market in just one year. Yes they been out in Japan for 3 years but they are brand new out here so it wouldn't make much sence. On the second hand it could be true and I wouldnt completely dout it. When honda changes there model in Japan they change it out here as well so lets see what toyota desides to do.

but I've also heard that a new version of the xb is in the works...so I guess only time will tell...not matter what my xB will be a keeper.

ususally every 3-4 years something small will change on the car to give it a different look. it wouldn't really make sense, but then again who would of thought the xB did make sense.

All I can say is, this makes me feel a bit better about not being able to get a Scion yet. Just because I can sit back and see what model I like the best. Maybe I will be able to get a good deal on a first gen xB when the 2nd gens come out :D
