its true...

maybe 90% of people to ask me what kind of car this is are old people.

Maybe it reminds them of a mobile home

And i agree with GEORGE, I want to see a pizza delivery truck also.. I was actually thinking this a few days ago.

my jaw still drops just a little when i see a geriatric rolling in a scion. but then again those folks tend to keep them looking stock.

i remember one time when this old grannie pulled up next to me in a honda del sol once at a stoplight with the turbo spooling. that was outrageous

I probably get more compliments on my car by 30+ers than anyone younger. The other day when I was putting on my 17's a guy was watching my car. He told me he was 70 kinda liked the xB and was actually debating on getting one. He said that if the rims looked good on my car he'd go down and buy one, and if not he wouldn't consider getting one at all. Well looks like we've got another Scion owner on the way. He loved it so much he said he was going to go down the next day and get his new car. Crazy stuff!! I tend to agree with some of you, if I see anyone over like 50 driving this car I give them BIG props. It's like seeing those funny silver haired ladys that are 80 driving an old 56 mustang!!!

There are a lot of people who contract with the USPS to do rural mail delivery. For a while Subaru (I think) was providing RHD vehicles for them.

A RHD xB would be OK for this, but the skirts would have to go. Rural conditions would rip them off in short order.

Obviously not a fan of the Jan and Dean song "Little Old Lady (From Pasadena)"

VERSE:
The Little Old Lady From Pasadena
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
Has a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)

But parked in her rickety old garage
There's a brand new shiny red Superstock Dodge

CHORUS:
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner
Than the Little Old Lady from Pasadena
(She drives real fast and she drives real hard)
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard...
