HEy gang,

Got my new xA this past Sunday. I'm loving it, but one thing I'm wondering about. In the brochure material, they indicate that there are 2 little storage bins to the left of the steering wheel. Mine doesn't have those, just blank plastic panels. They look like they're something that could be removed/replaced with bins though.

Are these some sort of option that I didn't see or something???

is it possible for you to post a picture? i'd like to see that.

 

mmm...toufic want to answer on this.

 

yeah, just like the xBs were supposed to have removable rear seats.

 

n-e thing can be removed

 

Ok, this is the picture I saw in the sales brochure:



And then, this is what I have in the actual car:



It looks to me like the top one is where they decided to put the dimmer switch, security sensor and mirror controls, but why not put the bottom one in? I can stick my fingers in the little cutout tab, and there feels like there's empty space back there, but I have the feeling that's where the fusebox is..

I guess this is another of those items that fall under the "Standard equipment, options, accessories, and other information is pre-production tentative and is subject to change before Scion launch." clause in the brochure...

i know what you're talking about. just under the dimmer and mirror controls right? it would've been nice to have a bin there, be my change bin.

 

just "X"'s

 

I don't know if that is the fuse box but I have seen switches put there before for neon and strobes but they left the cover on.

 

I was out on a test drive this morning with a dude in a camry, and he pulled out the little change drawer and was like "You can put your weeeeeeeed in here!"
I was like "yeah, that's what the brochure says."

 

LMAO. haha. check out the suzuki aerio sx... dealership salesman was showing me all the stash spots in case i ever got pulled over. lol. i was like, wtf are you telling me to do? hide my drugs?

 

Where would be the best place to hide somthing in our cars?

you better not be hiding ____ in your car, or you aint getting invited to the meets.

 

Just come to my meet then

 

I was just wondering since when was arin the person who said if someone was invited to a meet or not??

 

I beleive I am the one who organizes in vegas!! With Bill's help :D Uh what was the topic again? Oh yeah, where is toufic about the XA containers?

 

Mark...I have been talking to people from TSW about getting together a vegas chapter....

either that or starting my own club....and of course you will be invited...we just dont need contraband at the meets.

 

You guys are hillarious.

I was actually with a bunch of my friends at an S2000 meet today and of course i brought my Scion instead of the S, it was raining

So bring the BBQ of course since it wouldnt fit in anyone else s car and hand my buddy the keys to get everything out the car while i went and helped set up the table. When i got back my xB was full of people and full of smoke. True def of hotbox.

On a serious note. I think teh two storage bins they are talking about are both in the door. One on the bottom and one on the top. The top one is more of a door handle than anything.

 

I don't see the pictures either... but yeah, I believe DocOfMind has it right, in the door there are "2" bins, the one I drop my maps in on the bottom and then in the door handle itself? But I've noticed all sorts of places to put stuff in the xA, below the stereo we have 2 spots to hold stuff, the garage door opening one and then below that a little cave, similar to in front of the passengers under the glove compartment (am I mixing up cars again?)

 

Nope, not talking about the door. I'm talking about on the dash, just to the left of the steering wheel..


And sorry about the pictures. Let me try again...

This is what the brochure shows...:



And this is what my car has:



And BTW, those little "bins" on the passenger side below the glovebox are so small they're basically useless...
