Wonder what color is Army Rock??? Hopefully not similar to the Cube's army green.

Adding to my shopping list:
xB2.2 rear bumper
xB2.2 taillights
xB2.2 center console/armrest

Seats look better, but not by much... at least the new center armrest looks the same height as the door armrest.

Echoes the Prius?

Well, there'll be no stopping it now!

I'm going to hell for that joke, aren't I?

I like what the guy says in that website...

"The first mistake Toyota made was making the xB too big when it was redesigned a couple of years ago.Apparently, they had no clue why people were buying them.
Now, they are making it uglier.

Let's not add more choices like a sunroof, or more than one interior color. No. Lets just make the front end look more like a whale, and add a weird droopy feel to the back end.

I just don't get it....
This is really not what Scion needs right now. They need the iQ, yesterday.
Then they need a real competitor to the Cube and Soul. With maybe a 60mpg hybrid powertrain.
Something original. Anything but this...."

hahahahahaha!

A mixed bag.

It's nice they separated the clock/temperature from the odometer, which always seemed like a pain in the rear to have to toggle through. I like the USB/Aux connection instead of the stereo plug / iPod connection, as well; they should have had that in the first iteration.

But I don't like that they removed the little folding arm rest on the driver's side in lieu of a taller center box and rest. I really hate the rear bumper now; it looks like some old guy with two fat moles (the bottom reflectors).

Probably all looks better in black anyway.

All I have to say is. I used to be proud to own a Scion. Now I feel like I have to defend my cars brand.

They REALLY REALLY dropped the ball on this one. XB Owners are generally the most loyal to the Scion brand. Well Scion can kiss that goodbye. As well as alot of their returning customers (me).

i like the new instrument cluster. i like the center console with the aux jack inside and thats about it. not a fan at all of the front bumper, then again was never a fan of the rs models - esp. the rs 7 looks to fast to furious for me but thats my opinion. u cant debadge the front scion logo with this model bcuz then it'd look weird how its kinda molded into the front bumper. which would make it look funny replacing the grill with an aftermarket one but then again it is only like 1/2 tall.

red reflectors? really? whats the point of that! pretty lame. looks cheap imo
