1 foot longer, 3" wider, 1" shorter (height)

Nice job on the PS there. When I saw the redesign yesterday, yes I'm that late cuz of other things, I was in total dislike and still am. It's obvious that we can't really call the 08 xB "the box" any more, how bout maybe "the tin can"?

since its got the tC engine and its the 2nd xB... just my 2 cents...

Looks awesome. Can you do a side-by-side of the xA and xD?

So I guess my point is that if they wanted to change the names the should of changed both instead of keeping the xB and introducing xD.

Does the xA have such a negative conotation that Scion felt it better to totally remove the name from the line?

They called the xA's replacement the xD because the xA didn't sell well and this gives the next version a fresh start with a new name, new styling, etc. They kept the name for the xB's replacement because it was hugely popular and they wanted to keep that momentum up for the next gen.
