Anyone know or have a gut feeling about what additions they will be doing to the future year xBs coming up?

 

a front passenger side armrest......

 

hopefully two reverse lights either in the bumper or integrated in the taillights so I can do a swap on mine. Everyone I know tells me "hey one of your reverse lights is out". When I tell the it doesn't, they have this big & the one reverse light jokes get kinda annoying as well.....................

 

How about day time running lights or headlights that turn off automatically??

 

QFT...

 

All the above PLUS a 5 speed automatic.

 

6 speed CVT. :-P
Auto headlights
Auto wipers

 

If we look at the trends, xB3 will be the size of a Tahoe, with the 3.6 liter V6, will cost $18000, and the nickname will have to be changed to "breadbox" because calling it "toaster" will really ____ off the xB1 owners.

I think in 2 years they're going to change the OEM grill to be slats.

 

OH NO!, We don't wanna ____ off the First Generation XB owners, if they do any more changes or improvements to the XB, they'll disown us for sure. I don't know what's worse, being disowned by the First Generation owners or having the SKY fall on us....

 

$18k for a 3.6L V6 Tahoe size isn't bad!

 

According to dreasdad on Edmunds:

Nautical blue will be replaced by Stingray Metallic (same color from the 2006 xA) April Release date, thats the only news from the Production meeting earlier this month on the 2009

2008 will get a 5.0 Special Edition in gold Rush Metallic with factory
roof, body kit,color tune interior and dash

What color is Stingray Metallic?

 

Nautical Blue replaced by hideous Stingray Metallic? Say it aint so!!! Auto wipers and CVT would make the price go up and not to be mean but are you too lazy to flick your wrist to turn the wipers on? And I heard CVT sucks and I don't think Toyota has any CVT transmissions. Oh and not all of the 1st gens disowned you guys, I didn't. I just simply said, its not boxy enough.

 

Our Mazda 3 had auto headlights (OEM HID) and auto wipers. I never thought so until I owned it, they are quite convenient.
VAG's DSG(CVT) transmissions are awesome, I'm sure Toyota can develop something. It should be an option at least, those who want it, pay for it.

 

No DRL or auto headlights for me. I want to be able to decide when they are on and DRL can cause added headaches for HID conversion.

 

maybe they will add a cockpit with a flying option in 2009?

 

I believe thats lined up for 2019 scion fB

 

I hope they make the suspension more comfortable. My new xB is very jarring and moves up and down with every small rut in the road. I feel like an eighteen year old in a Honda Civic with a bad suspension drop job. This is contrary to the opinion of most motoring reviewers that say the ride of the new xB is comfortable (or even soft), they prefer a go kart ride over smooth suspension response I tried lowering the tire pressure to no avail. I wish the valving in the shock absorbers was larger in the compression stage and the return stage valving could remain the same though to maintain good roll stability when making sudden turns.

Why does it seem that there is no longer an appreciation for a soft ride or whisper quiet engine and quiet cabin. Is it because it's not considered very macho?
Remember it is possible to have a comfortable suspension and reasonalbe handling. Other brands and other Toyota models have proved it.

Of course I'd love if they add the HID lights and 5 speed auto. Also longer front seats (front to back measurement) for better thigh support. It seems that the front seats were designed for ***** Wonka's Ooumpa Loumpa people.

 

What in ___ hell?

I mean it's an o.k. color can't they just add to the list of colors or maybe just have Stingray replace Silver. On a side note I've heard somewhere that now White has just replaced Silver as the most sought after color in new cars. Go figure!
