2008 xB speculation

This is everything I've heard and/or read about the 2008 xB.

It will use a 2.4L engine (taken from the Camry)

The name and body style will be different from the current model.

It will be released early 2007.

the xB and xA will not have a 2007 model year (except for a RS 4.0 and 3.0 respectively)

How in the world did you get early release pictures of the Scion fT?!

For those that don't know the fT stands for family Truckster. Scion Night is also going to be held at Wally World from now on as well.

With escalating gas prices why the Camry engine? Doesn't make sense. Scion is selling as many units to oldsters as youngsters.

I would actually prefer the 1.8 engine over the 2.4. This is just what I've heard from lots of people.

I'm just repeating what I've heard from multiple independent sources. If you can shed some light as to how you know it will be the 1.8 I'm sure everyone would like to know.
