Does it look like R2D2?

My wife is fond of naming our vehicles. We own a large 1982 diesel Winnebago that groans like Chewbacca when you drive over 5000 feet altitude; so my wife named it Chewbacca. Now we have this xB2 and she thinks it looks like R2D2, so she is calling it that.

What do you think?

Needs mods, R2D2 is highly modded by Anakin Skywalker.

I like the xBs though, silver is the best for the 2nd gen.

I like naming cars too, but R2D2 doesn't come to mind for the xB. I also have silver and was thinking more along the lines of Sterling...like silver. I like simple, human names for my rides. My favorite car name of all my vehicles was a VW named "Marv", after Marv Albert and his awesome sex scandal. Simple. Human.

Re: Does it look like R2D2?

Size-wise, in comparison to a Winnebago, it is R2D2. But that's probably where the similarities end. R2D2 is cute. xB2 isn't. Find a non-cute droid to name it after and you'll be set!

I would have to agree with the others. No resemblance to R2D2 at all. IMO

I have yet to have a girlfriend that likes cars as much as I do. They really have no idea about guys and cars. Just like how I have no idea about shoes and Oprah!

Thats just too funny!!!

I plan on trading my 01 nissan maxima se for a 08 xb/silver/auto and have been trying to think of a "nicknamae" for it...now I have it!!! I call my car MAXIMUS OR THE MAX. Not really creative but it's not very inspiring either
