I personally like "micro-van" the best...but I mean, if Scion wants to call it a wagon...call it a wagon...I guess...just sounds too damn family oriented...n I'm only 22...so, for the sake keeping my ego at least somewhat intact...I'm gonna stay with mirco-van

I've heard the XB classified as an MFV (multi function vehicle) and lumped with the Chrysler PT Cruiser. It doesn't really matter, though, does it?

The car wash here tried to call it an SUV...then LMAO! Another employee came over after I made a huge fuss!! I mean the guy taking care of it could see the roof fcol! Anyways the other guy comes over and starts laughing so f'in hard!! "That is NOT an SUV!! hahaha what is that? She should get a discount just for driving it around!"
"Excuse ME sir, how did you get to work today?" "I rode my bike why?" I rest my case!! I went to the manager and told on them YES I DID and I got a FREE hand wash thank you very much!!! Plus the owner said " Never we SHarg eessuuveee on small car never we have problem with your type!" lol Sorry but it was funny bc he made it seem like he was talking about ME and not my car!


My insurance has me listed as five door something but hey 240.00 a month with full coverage, road side and rental on two 05's is OK by us!!!

What do you have against people who ride their bikes to work? I ride my bike to work most of the time. No gas, free parking, and I never have to go to the gym.

OMG!

I dont have anything against ppl riding or driving ANYTHING....I do have something against ppl LAUGHING AT ME when they DO NOT own a car!!! The other guy did say he rides his bike bc he can't afford a car.

I don't make fun of ppl for what they choose for tranportation but they sure have made MY choice their business since I've gotten a Scion or two!

Thats what I meant....you couldn't understand that from what I typed??

Make fun of me if you drive a Mercedes to work not a bike!!! He was laughing so hard I thought he was going to ____ on me!

BTW I received the FREE wash bc of the insults they were saying to me about my car!

People with NO car should NOT throw stones!


And NO I do not care if he can not afford a car! If he wanted to he could do something about it... there is always a way to improve ones means to afford things. :D

That is SO wrong on So many levels! Definetly get that corrected. The true definition of the xB is MICRO Wagon. I hate it when people call the box a dreaded SUV

...if the xB were an SUV it would be a RAV4...

NO GROUND CLEARANCE, LIMITED SUSPENSION TRAVEL, LOW PROFILE TIRES, TWO-WHEEL DRIVE - no, those are not features of an SUV. An Urban Utility Vehicle, made for city streets, yes, but SUV, no.

(It's still a four-door wagon according to the Feds, my state, and my insurance...)

No, it's not an SUV. I don't like micro van. It's a subcompact

Thank You!

I've been told so many times that it takes a person "like me" to drive a car like that!

{I can sometimes have a defensive stand up for myself attitude. Nothing wrong with defending what I believe in, even if its my choice in automobile.}


Its sad that sometimes we have to have thick skin to drive a Scion. Esp the xB!
