There aren't a whole lot around here in Redneck (Panhandle) Florida. The ones that are here I see just about every day, since there is only one central artery that connects the city to the beach.

Seems like a vast majority of the xB's I see on the road are delivery trucks or other "company" vehicles, with big logos on the side, etc.

I remember a similar situation in 98 when the VW NB was released. Seems like lots of businesses want to get their name on something noteable and unusual.

I haven't seen a single xA. Maybe they just blend in too well.

Yes, quite a few now around here. Run into (not literally) 6 or 8 a day now.

Several of them are being used commercially.

Price of gas here, $2.30.

I just returned from a 5 day trip Orlando to Charlotte to Nashville and back to Orlando. Saw a total of ONE other Scion, an xA on I95 at Savanna. She passed me at 80 talking on her cellphone!
I discovered that the xB cruises nicely at 80 but the fuel economy does drop a little. I usually get 33 to 34 mpg on the road at 70 and less. This time it dropped to 30 to 32.
I was pleased how it handled the mountains in NC and TN. Kept up with all but the idiots.

I've had my xB for a month now, and in that time I've seen ONE other xB on the road. Not too many around here. I don't think I've ever seen an xA, and the few tC's I've seen have all been in parking lots - never on the road.

I see more also and I think it is because more people are buying them but also now that you own one you are more aware when you see one.

But its cool its not like i know 2 other people with the same black cherry color that i have....

Bought my BCP last January, since then there is one the same color 10 miles away in a neighboring town and one in another town 30 miles away which is the main hub around here. All Xb's with, you guessed it BCP. Have not seen a white one, a blue one, a black one, a cammo one, but 3 BCP in a 30 mile radius? Its not fair!

Everyday I run into at least 3-5 xBs on the road.

- One on my daily commute to work I sometimes spot a BCP box exiting on San Pablo.

- At my workplace, there is a stock PW box parked on the street everyday.

- The drive home in traffic I sometimes spot one or two boxes.

- I always pass by the Toyota dealership in alameda and there's always a box outside :D

My next door neighbor has two xBs, and down the block there are two more xBs. So 5 xBs just on one block.

There are a few Scions here on the UNC CHarlotte campus I have seen in the parking garages. Ive seen 2 xB's black and white, 1 white tC, and a silver xA. And course my own black xB.

Ive seen a lot around the rest of Charlotte too. Just hope they dont get as common as honda civics or toyota camrys. The main reason I got an xB was because I wanted to be different and not be part of the sea of sameness. I know thats Saabs marketing tagline, but it works for Scion xB's too.
