After seeing the next generation of XB's, I'm glad I got mine early.

 

...we haven't seen the 'next gen' xBs yet...

Dont hate it till you see it!!

There are a lot of rumors and false pics going around. Yall are gonna flip when you see the first one roll off when some fatty wheels, exhaust and sound system. Just wait, you'll be wanting one too!

 

You know what I see as the problem for any xB replacement?
It was a solid hit for design and appeal. No replacement will ever be "right".

A good example of this is the original 50's Thunderbird....such classic, perfect, clean lines......then came the the ridiculous, over-styled four seater of the late '50s.

When an automaker gets a design right, it is hard to top it!

 

I'd like the t2b

 

It's too bad the bB isn't coming over to America. I would buy something that looked like that in a second.

Come to think of it, December is actually a decent time to learn about the new models, as I should be getting my year-end bonus soon after. If the new Scion models look sweet I can start saving, or if they look like a dog's rear-end I can just start looking elsewhere...

 

the new xB is so fantastic it's not even funny. saw it at a focus group in sf a few months back. it is the perfect evolution of the xB, maintains all of the key elements (on that note, they had an element there for comparison - why are those so hideous??) but completely dialing in the design, interior and out. it is essentially the t2B but with glass aft of the c-pillar. in other words, the rear end is way cooler than the prelim concept. not so pushed in in the back. but the front end is almost exactly the same. also, speedo is now accompanied by two semi-round guage clusters to the right of it in the center dash cluster. it looks amazing. and it's intended to have 160 hp engine. goodbye gas mileage, hello performance. i will be first in line when these are rolling in mid-next year.

 

is this close?
