xB On 2 Month Backorder!
Apparently, our beloved xB's are selling like hot cakes! Check out this article from Chicago Tribune.

DAMN IT!
The funny looking machine with the funny name is aimed at the youth market and has a few features that make up for the looks: low price, only $14,480 to start; and high mileage, 31 m.p.g. city/34 m.p.g. highway with automatic transmission.
Those two features have helped create a two-month backlog of orders for the Scion wagon. It went on sale in the Chicago area this month, last stop in its nationwide rollout that began a year ago in California. And Toyota may not have enough supply to meet demand until September or October

Any dealer that can back this up??
If this is true, this is some badass BAD news!!

Also as i was reading on toward the bottom I found this sentence about the xB
I have not herd of this at all, I know there are side impact bags for the xA, but I have not herd of Curtain bags for either one.... :?
Can someone shed some light on this?
(I personally think this journalist is dishing out alot of Bull !@#$)
Side-impact air bags and air-bag curtains are offered in a $650 package, but young buyers seldom opt for them (5 percent), Farley said

I dont think it will get bad enough that there is one on every block 'cause Toyota didnt make enough to go around. Gonna be like the Prius is now. They are in high demand, but you hardly see any on the roads.

Mydealer worked a dealer trade for mine and he says it's in port. They are just waiting to get the paperwork transferred over. I'm hoping to get mine by next week. If I have to wait 2 months I'll freak out.

Haha the PT crusier thing reminds me of when my gramps bought his...
He bought a loaded top of the line PT limited(EVERY option) for like 16,500... some where in the boondocks... We drove that sucker back and we just stopped in at the dealer thats up the street from his house and saw a identical PT (except his is black and the one we saw was silver) for 24,995.......
The salesman came over and was like looking to buy a matching PT(he kinda chuckled.)
We smiled and my gramps said "Not for that damn price!!!!" And i just so happened had the sticker from my gramps car in my had to compare.... I started repeating "16-5 16-5 16-5 16-5"and we drove off.....
