xB replacement concept at Tokyo Motor Show
Check out:
http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/event/auto_shows/index.html
Click on the Toyota Booth Special Site and look at the "NLSV" concept. Toyota has said repeatedly that there won't be a redesign of the xB, but that a different vehicle will replace it. I'm betting that the production version of the NLSV is the replacement for the xB, maybe 3 years from now in the US, although Japan intro for the NLSV is probably within 2 years from now. The NLSV is taller, but other dimensions are almost identical to the xB's.

Where does it say NLSV is a concept to replace Xb? I understand the speculation... And I do like the concept car. It's just that if it's going to continue the heritage (dare I say) of Xb, I wish it will continue the Boxy-ness that made Xbs so unique...

I have a feeling that when they stop producing the xB the NLSV Concept will be the new xB. They look too much alike not to be.. But who knows what Scion has up their sleeve
. I cant wait until they release official information about the new Scion's in a few years!
