I have seen 'em in person, Chris, and I am impressed and believe Scion has done an excellent job designing the xB2 for the people who didn't like the xB - those constantly griping about lack of load space or power, or whatever.
The xB2 is a definite upgrade to a totally new class of vehicle, and I'm sure it will sell well not only because it meets the needs of the buyers, but because it is Toyota quality at a low price.
In person the xB2 is more aggressive looking, and the design does flow well. There are a LOT of possibilities left for customizing the new xB2, and the looks will be a lot different that the first gen xB because the newgen xB is not a box and is not as tiny.
I know it is too late to make any difference this time around, but some of us still don't like that Scion continued the same model name past the three years they said, and onto a different class of car, just for "name recognition" to enhance sales.
The newgen xB is a good design, and would have done just fine on it's own without recycling the name from the box.
