Default Spy Shot: 2008 Extended Xb?

I work in the OC area and see all kind's of masked vehicle's drive by my office window everyday, but this one caught my eye. So I snapped a couple shots. Looks like a extended Xb or maybe its just an illusion. But it is 5 lug so I dont know.

That is definitely the length of the new xB but not even close on the body design...

Hey--nice catch. That looks like the same mule we have seen pictures of earlier. Your picture is very clear though.

holy crap that's a long wheelbase. Better not lower it too much or you'll high center it.

no the interior will not make it. but the t2b's exterior is very very close to production.

first the t2b lacks the last panel windows on the sides near the back.. that makes it look ___....

Second, the t2b back looks ___ as well due to rounded back end.... that bulges out at the top...

Yet I reserve judgement until I can actually see the car in some real colors and not the ___ color it was demo'd in...

Give me a black, a white, a dark blue, dark red, real silver... but not the hideous original color.

For those in the know, if its based on the t2b, I have a couple of questions.

1) do you know or think it will be bigger then the t2b. I have not seen the t2b next to a xb. Was the concept much bigger then the t2b. does anyone have a picture of them side to side so we can really compare the size difference.

2) the concept had suicide doors on one side and a sliding door on the other. Will both of those exist with this car. What are the odds. I like the idea.


My brother owns an orange SR1 xb. I almost bought one but my current toyota was running too clean at the time and still is at 115k.

I am very seriously thinking about getting an xb follow-on.

The first one was great. If the 2nd is bigger then an xb then for me that is a bonus and I hope it is. I also hopes its a little longer so I can some how squeeze in a bike in the back with the seats down. I am married with one kid, so that is another consideration as far as space.

It really sounds like you want a minivan... as opposed to a micro van.

Compact size = xB.

If it gets much bigger or rounder on the outside I swear it will just look like every single other SUV... and really want is the point then... it just dies in a sea of "the same" since it will have to raise its price to actually BE larger.
