what's the handling like with the xb2 relative to the xB1 ?
seeing as how it's a bigger car, heavier of course, and built by scion now, how does it feel ? anyone?

 

they say it handles better , everyone who's driven one and stock versus stock it probably does , but i KNOW my car outhandles one.

 

More lean and roll, smoother feel, steering has less feedback, and it doesn't seem as happy with being 'tossed' into corners as the box does.

It is a competent platform and handles well, but doesn't have the "closed go cart" feel of the xB. The driver is just a bit more removed from what is really happening out there.

The xB_Too does as well or better than others in it's general class, but that class is larger and heavier than the original.

 

1. Any regrets not waiting for the new one?

Not really, but mostly because the original worked out so well.

2. Did you change your mind about the xB2 since you've seen actual photos?

No. It's a different vehicle, and will probably be loved by the new owners like I love my box.

3. If given the chance to choose one feature from the new one to apply to the 1st Gen what would it be. and vice versa...

I'd take the engine from the new one and put it in mine, and I'd take the styling from mine and put it in the new one.

4. 1st Gen owners do you feel inferior to the lil' monster engine that the xB2 have?

I like the new xB's engine, but I've been content with the one in mine from day one.

5. Would you trade your xB if you are given the chance?

Yeah... I'll trade it straight up to anyone for a new Corvette, Elise, Supra or even an Escalade. I highly doubt that will happen though, so I guess my answer must be No.
