Yeah! I would have swore that there was an xB and an xA in that movie. I think I saw an xA when the group was watching the old pot head dude get shot at his home in the woods. I only saw the roof lines and it definitely was shaped like an xA. The cars were really weird in that movie...gotta love bondo and black spray paint lol.
ok so I'm not going crazy, i thought i saw an xB too, but all the crap the put all over the cars, some are hardly recognizeable,

and nuh-uh Children of Men, was an awesoem movie, didnt liek the open ending too much, but i loved the whole movie, very deep meaning to everything in there.

Holy cats, I had no idea there were so many! :D

Next question: On a scale from 1 to Bill Gates, how much of a total dork would I be to rent all of these movies just to watch for the xBs in them?

I've heard this, but he looks more like a dropped pickup to me. The prominent recessed line under the rear windows looks more like a truck with a cap than an integrated rear cabin. And I don't know how you could possibly portray an xB with ROUND headlights. o_0 I mean, I realize there's been some artistic license taken (what with the sentient talking cars, and all), but yeesh, if you're going to put circles into it what the hell's the point of using an xB?

Until I see a quote from an artis at Pixar who specifically states that DJ was modeled after an xB, I'm going to consider this point up for debate.

And, no, Wikipedia is SO not gonna cut it. ;) "Never trust a source that any twit with a keyboard and a 56K modem can alter," my grandmother used to tell me, when I was a young boy, when we would bake cookies in the shape of the internet.
