I have a concern....
#42
I am not trying to "hate" on anyone, but I am trying to find a way to seperate my xB from the new models that will be emerging. I would really like to get an emlem that reads "Classic" and place it under my xB emblem on my rear hatch. I haven't found one that I thought was nice enough, but I do have someone in mind to contact to try to get this done. I welcome anyone who buys a 2008+ xB, but I will not be purchasing one.

This is truly one of the things I like about my 1st Gen B.

xBeast, there's a guy already looking into design and manufacture of a "Classic" emblem for our boxes! Take a look here:

I think he has the right idea, and hope there is enough interest to keep it going.

Yes i know we call the US version of the bB and xB but at least the 1st gen xB maintained that classic body style. This new car called an xB is i'm sure a sweet car but as far as i'm concerned calling it an xB is as bad as calling it a bB. The new bB looks nothing like the old gens either but it also doesn't look like the new xB. If we are to have a new xB it should look like the new bB. I believe that this fiasco goes against what we are doing here at scionlife. This is just an oppinion of course but i have to ask....how is this going to change the look and funtion of scionlife? It's hard enough trying to explain the difference between 1st and 2nd gen bBs and between bBs and xBs. If they would've just called it something else (xE, xF, xG, sEx) anything but xB i wouldn't be going on this rant. How shallow and fickle does Toyota think we are. Just because some people had issues with our xBs doesn't mean they have to reinvent the wheel and call it a box. Do you get me? Scionlife should not change because we are the enthusiasts not the idiot executive who decided to name this new car an xB. That person has no idea the loyalty some of us have to this car. Make fun of me if you want but then ask yourself "why am i driving an xB in the first place?" I bought one because it was something completely different from the mainstream American mindset. Now Toyota wants to throw that whole concept out and appeal to everyone who insulted your xB. I'm just one guy and i don't know how to make Toyota understand or alot of you most likely but i don't want this new car too be called an xB if for nothing else but the integrity of this community.
its just car evolution, just like neanderthals are still humanoids, we are humanoids too.
