That's actually pretty awesome.

Pontiac Vibe GT, Impala SS (b-body of course), or a Mazda Protege5 would have been my choices.

Was going to use the money for a down payment on a new Mustang Mach I. Much better for insurance, gas and the kid to get the box.

Mercedes ML class suv.

I'm feeling the 05 Pathfinders, very nice.

I most likely would have gone with a Mazda3 5 door, but I also seriously considered a Subaru Forester or a Honda CR-V or Element.

I'd still be driving the rare 03 Altima...

I know it's not even similar in any way to the xB, but this is what I would have purchased.

Let's just say I'm glad the xB came along...it's saving me a bundle in gas, insurance, and is half the price of the Suby!

I actually saw an xB at the Subaru dealer after I test drove it. I was about to buy a black WRX, but I sat in the xB and fell in love... of course, my xB is black too. :P

Toyota Matrix or Pontiac Vibe ( they're identicle)

lavabox Jan 22, 2005 07:18 PM

I was seriously considering importing one of these from Europe. They are AWESOME and would have cost about the same (used AMG vs new Scion...)

groundzeroxb Jan 22, 2005 10:55 PM

If not a tc, the new 04 Accord Coupe.

George Jan 22, 2005 11:45 PM

I'd be driving a CRV. I considered an Element but the CRV was a much better vehicle.

black_xb Jan 23, 2005 12:22 AM

keep my crx if insurance wasn't an issue srt 4 neon.

Pinky Jan 23, 2005 12:36 AM

Subaru WRX STI

cartier001 Jan 23, 2005 01:37 AM

I have a baby with limited budget. They are not many choices out there. The box won over Element by less $$$, better mpg, and VSC. For the next car, either the Element or Odyssey. I need roooooom.

Kaian Jan 23, 2005 03:01 AM

This is actually an interesting topic for me, as I'm leaning towards a xB but haven't bought it yet. The other vehicles I want to look at include the Chrysler PT Cruiser, Toyota Matrix, Ford Focus ZX5 or ZXW, and I might wait to see the upcoming Mazda5, as well as look at the Mazda6 i 5-door or Mazda3 5-door.

This will be a second car primarily for commuting to work (my wife's about to get a Sienna), but I need the ability to pick up my wife and kids: two toddlers five and three years old, and an upcoming new baby later this year. That's why the Element isn't on the list, as it only seats four and we're going to be five soon.
