It was at the Scion Backstage in Atlanta Georgia. I liked the new xB , handled great, nice power and braking. The only thing I did not like was the console where the shifter was, it was pressing against my knee, the one thing I hate about most cars.

I am 6' 3" and 320 pounds, I have a bad right knee from a training accident in the military and hate having anything press against my knee. My 06 xB has a manual and it is okay. My first one was an automatic and I could not stand the shifter touching my leg. I looked at changing it but just wound up selling it first.

Would placing a cushion there help with your knee problem? A good chunk of soft foam, or even pile on a few of the Dr.Scholls products. Glad you liked the car... how was the engine / exhaust sounding?
