I guess Siphon is expanding their coverage, since not even IIHS will call the B2 a "minicar" anymore.

I think they got "PAID" for that coverage. Not a bad car... Just not micro wagon territory. May be a one time thing once they get feedback from loyal readers.

I agree, this smells like Toyota money. Yea, the readers won't like that.

Got my first copy of their mag yesterday. It was nice to see Scion got lots of coverage and good reviews as well! If Scions continue to get good coverage in their future issues, I will become a loyal customer for their mag.

Found my copy at wal-mart of all places.... I agree with the above comment, if they keep up the xb coverage I may subscribe as well.

I have enjoyed all three issues and hope they offer subscriptions soon. I got a kick out of the cover. There is plenty of room for 1st and 2nd generation xB devotees and everyone has their reason why they love theirs. I wish my 06 had the new instrument cluster and additional airbags, but I'll do without the extra 600 lbs, thank you.

ROFL. lol, the over-the-topness saves this cover ;) THE NEW ONE IS SO AWESOME IT MAKES THE OLD ONES SUSPLODE D:

but, boy are they gon' be MAD when they realize the new one ain't a micro lol

i love siphon. scion's no-bs honestly has filtered down into the entire minicar franchise. you guys gotta read the intros: if it's anything like the last two, it's basically the editors saying "okay, sooo this is our marketing strategy. we hope it works and you buy magazines. lots of them. k thx."

The only place I've been able to reliably find this magazine is, sadly, wal-mart. =6 Though I usually park at Steak & Shake and hike over to the parking lot, so the mouth-breathing dregs of society populating the store can't harm my ride (i highly recommend that for those of you with new toasters; those shopping carts are the size of xA's). maybe i'll go with my rental, now that my box is in the body shop

I notice the cover says "#003". I guess that means it is evidently issue number 3.
Does that mean all the "loyal readers" have both of the other issues?

Yessir! Although considering how much effort most readers had to go through to FIND the stupid things, that may actually qualify. ;) Like I said, I had to brave the Wal-Mart LITERARY DEPARTMENT three times so far - if that doesn't make me loyal, I don't know what does! ;)

Well I have to say I DO like your Wally World parking strategy.
