i smell front end conversion.......

 

Interestin'... I wonder how long until people start pullin' pieces of it and slapping them onto their xB2s.

Swap the tail lights and rear bumper skin for single backup light delete?

Only problem I see is that the bumper appears to be smaller - not to US standards. Prob wont fit.

 

looks pretty cool. how many 2nd gen owners are going to rebadge theirs?

 

Not too bad. I wish the xB had a similar grill between the headlights like that one has. I'd prefer horizontal painted bars to the weird circles we have. Those brake lights look like they'd be a direct swap, although you'd have to do some wiring to make the reverse lights work. Unless you used orange bulbs and made the clear part the turn signal.

Anyone find the interior pics on the third link? The inside doesn't look a whole lot different at all. The inside door handles are silver, steering wheel looks different. But there's a huge hole in the roof and the seats fold/lift more than ours can (unless ours can and I don't know it). Oh and the steering wheel is on the wrong side LOL j/k.

I like the rear spoiler on that one better.

 

Yeah. There's a pic of a ginormous sunroof.

Rear seat flips up to reveal storage.


Digital Climate Controls are sweet too.


This shows arrows that seems to indicate a TELESCOPING steering wheel.


Different gauge packages w/ different colors too.

 

My fav...

The WOODY!

 

wow, between the moonroof, the wheels and body kit(s), the fit "inspired" seat configurations, etc., compared to ours, we kinda got screwed . ..

oh, and is that a 4WD option i see on the second link sheet? . . . (edit just now saw it on the lexus post too)

starts at about 19.7k at the current conversion rate

 

It looks like you have an option of the 1.5 or a 1.8 liter. No 2.4

This is really starting to suck. Be nice if we had a choice between the 1.8 or the 2.4.

 

i'd drive it, just change those tails out.

 

hmm... my JDM shopping list is growing

headliner and sunroof
rear bumper with rear fog lights
rear taillights
rear seats with fold up option, and center armrest
right front height adjustable seat
digital climate control unit

 

Anyone see the videos they have?

The dome light in the video all the way to the right in the second row is sweet.

 

interesting to see the paddle shifter video
i remember they mentioned this feature during the unveiling at the Chicago Auto Show, and then it turns out the option wasn't going to be offered

and the rear seats video shows them reclining!

 

We'd probably get some of these features if Scion wasn't mono-spec. Some of them are only available on the higher grades.

Don't see why some of this couldn't make it for a yearly update on the new xB.

Lots of it though is there because they're asking $19,000 and offering a smaller engine than ours.

 

yo what the heck does JDM mean i see that alot on car boards??? and or seats flip uP!!!

 

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market
