What I mean, is that it is unique to it's own body character. Some think it's a baby Hummer.

 

one of my friends calls it the short bus, but i,ve read sport wagon and micro van but toyota classifies it as a car. but I some times say truck and a friend calls it a SUC -sport utility car.

 

My insurance lists it as a Utlity Vehicle. Funny thing is, on my registration, it says that my xB seats 7

 

Sorry to burst any bubbles my friends, but the xB is a SUV/VAN. Seriously.

Everyone's overlooked the one glaring hint every single xB and xA have that tell you what there classification is.

All xB's come from the factory with factory colored glass ("tint") from the B-pillar back. All xA's come from the factory with clear glass all the way around.

Federal law prohibits the sale of a CAR with factory colored glass in the US. When ever you see a CAR with tint - some tinter somwhere did that AFTER the car was brought into the USA.

Vans are another story. Federal law will allow TRUCKS (e.g VANS, suv's, sut's etc) to be sold with factory installed darkened glass. This allowed ONLY on trucks. No exceptions.

If it was a station wagon (as insurance companies classify it), the xB would not be allowed to have factory "tint". A wagon is a car.

Technically, the xB is a sub-compact VAN.

So anyhow - it's the factory darkened windows that give it away.

 

The pain. oh how it burns so slow.

 

box car lol

 

On the papers from the dealership it says its a wagon. The guy at the car show called it an upgraded car, not a downgraded truck. But I've seen it called a micro van on many websites. My husband thinks its funny to call it a van but just because it ____es me off. That's where I got the name micro machine. Remember the micro machine cars? Thats what it reminds me of. I don't really care what you want to call it because its the coolest micro machine in the whole wide world! I love it. :D

 

HAHA funny - b/c fed gov't classifies it as a WAGON! tis why insurance companies classify it as a wagon.

window tint smindow tint! my moms lexus and benz came with tint FACTORY, so did my BFs VW! factory!! imported from GERMANY!! and my BFs from BRAZIL! the fact that its a wagon or an suv or wutever has NOTHING to do with window tint, it has to with what the fed rate it as and the feds call it a wagon end of story.

now you can call it whatever ya want. if your insurance lists it as a suv, you got ripped of b/c SUVs cost more than a wagon. mwahahahaha

my rav4 got switched to being called awagon b/c after many years the fed realized that the rav4 isn't anywhere close to being an suv. its actually a celica wagon....

so i got 2 wagons on my insurance... DAMN its cheap for a 22 yearold chick! muti car paln and both are wagons!

 

My DMV states it's a wagon

 

I best call it "Econo Box" i slap anyone that call it a "MiniVan"

 

Well thank you all for the response :D I"m going to get some mercedes emblems and make it a Baby G500 to further confuse us all.

 

I just call it my little box or as my old man likes to put it the fart box.

 

just got my registration from nc dmv. It shows classification as MP. what does this stand for? multi-passenger,multi-purpose,my pimpmobile. who knows?

 

I should have made this a poll :D

 

In the state of Texas it is rated a Small Wagon on the window sticker. And the xA is rated as a sub-compact. So that is what Texas thinks.

 

Master Pimpride

 

Yeah, I've been waiting for someone to do a G250, with the rubber trim on the sides, etc...

 

my registration says its a toyota subrn... I dunno what that means, but Its a 5 door wagon.

 

A guy at work says it's a hearse for midgets?!? or little people to be PC. I affectionatly call it my BOX And look what it can do








IM SOOOOOO PROUD OF HER!!!

 

Ok kids...I'm an insurance agent, and our company, along with most other companies, and the Fed Govt, classify the xB as a wagon. The xA is a 4-door hatchback, the xB a 5-door wagon. Clear as mud, huh?

Besides, wagons are cool rides. Ever seen the Japanese market-only Caldina and Wish? They are sweet, and they're wagons...Look at the Audi S4 Avant. Hauls gear and ___!!! :D
