Damn, that looks freakin' close to what people have said and drawn. I'll bet that is it. A little of old Xb, a little of T2b and the new-current Japanese market Xb.

Tell ya' what.....If this is indeed it.....as soon as I pay off my 05' "Original" Xb, I am gonna get one of these as used when it is one or two years old and put it "with" my original.

Can you all see it???......Have this "New" style and the "classic" style parked right next to each other in the driveway.......Now that would be awesome!

They compliment each other.

 

i think the new one is going to make the classice lookv ery dated and old. but i still love it

 

 

we rnt getting that. thats the new bB in japan.

 

I've been really looking forward to this release but the car in those pics looks so characterless. There's nothing bad about it but there's nothing that stands out either...when I first saw it, it somehow reminded me on a first generation Rav4 or some bland SUV. Now, the F3R that someone posted a pic of earlier in this thread, that stands out. If they could shorten it and...oh never mind...

 

I only have two questions about the 2nd gen. xB. Will it have a larger engine? And does it have a 6 speed transmission? We sure need them.

 

sounds like it's getting the 1.8l, as far as power.

as far as that JDM bB - if i had a dolla for every time...

 

I'd put money down that the pic from the original post is only a photoshop. And I would lay money down on top of that, that most of the design concepts for that photoshop came straight from drawings and comments on this site.

 

You could definately afford the new Xb if you had a dollor for everytime. I haven't been on as long as you and I could afford the xd as for the 1.8L I remember seeing on somewhere that what was in the Miami event xB was a 1.8L but the reason the VP slammed the hood so fast was b/c that engine wasn't supposed to be in there

I don't think there is a real picture of the '08 xB floating around. So I would say yes, it is a photoshop, and mostly likely you are right, it probably used the statements from alot of miami winners from here.

 

I'm 99% sure the next xB will have the 2.4 that's currently in the tC. I haven't heard anything about the transmission, but I'd be surprised if it were any more than a 5 speed manual and a 4 speed auto.

 

hmm... i wonder why they did it green with a toyota logo?

 

as i keep checkin out that pic I believe this is what the stock 08 xB will look like. I did go to Miami and see it myself but the xB we saw was modified by 5-Axis of course..but this is as close as to what I can remember in Miami, and I wasnt drunk lol I just slowly lost memory as to what the xB and xD looked like since we only got to see it for about 20 min. Im still deciding weather or not to trade in or sell my RS 2.0 for it. It depends on the price and what I can get for my RS 2.0 and if TFS will let me get my 3rd Scion in 3 years! lol

 

This could be it. Has a Scion tC look on the front.

 

the rumor that went with that pic on the other website was 170hp. maybe its the rav4 version of the camry/tc 4cyl. if theres a sunroof available i'm all in.

 

It will have the same engine as the tC, and the wheels will be 5 lug as well.

 

Will it be possible to make a swap? Swap gen 2 engine into gen 1?

 

Anything is possible with these basic tools: Plasma cutter, sawsall, welder, grinder, and know how. Will it be an easy swap? Don't know, but can you easily swap out the tC motor with the current xB? That would be the answer to your question.

 

 

thats the same pic

 

it's very similar...
