xB turning radius

My previous car was a 96' 240SX and I am noticing that I could make tighter turns in that car then my xB.
I am 3 point turning on streets that I didn't have to in the 240. Anyone else think the turning radius is big for such a small car?

For some reason, that is the case. xB's have a shockingly very wide turning radius.

Good at least I am not the only one that has noticed this. I wonder how hard it is to improve. Something like the drifters increased angle kits they run on their cars. Tie rod spacers or something similar.

I know it scuffs the tires when turned to the stops and try to push it in neutral omg! Someone didn't do their homework when they designed the front suspension.
