A lot of the differences have been pointed out, and I am not sure if this is worth anything, but the exterior door handles bulge out, not lay flat like on the current xB. I prefer the xA and tC handles. If they used all the panels with filler added, why did they change the handles?

I've seen the new honda element and the new acura 2 door sport car rolling round arkansas, debadged and covered in cloth like that xb, they do that I guess so they can test everything on the real us roads, not the test roads

"I think the idea of the missing B-pillars is to give that sense of roominess, as in easy getting in and out of passengers and easy loading of equipment (not ******* you bro, aight)."

To be clear, I prefer not having b-pillars. You're right, as long as they don't hook the seatbelts in a strange way then opening the front door a crack isn't a huge deal.

If I am giving folks rides, I hate having to unbuckle and open the front door to let folks in the back out. With lack of B-pillar, you have the room but defeat it with the stupid things you have to do to get people out. Forget it!

That pic looks awfully ominous to me, even though I can't really believe it. The porportions feel wierd, especially the front end. But looking at it compared to the white car in front, it doesn't look that much longer. I guess its just the size of the windows compared to the size of the hood.

it indeed is a reg cab 07 tundra. i love the new tundra. we keep getting more of em for work. ( i work for a promotional company for toyota)


and apparently the new xb/xb replacement gets 4 regular doors. so it seems. and the black camo'ed xB thing above is nowhere near a production vehicle just a hideous mule.

From all the crazy doors on both sides of the t2B,
now we're back to 4 Regular doors...

The next xB isn't looking very appealing at all.

I'd buy that t2B mini truck in a minute though!
But we haven't seen any mules of that driving around,
so I'm sure they'll never build it.

Did anyone notice the masked up 07 Tundra right behind it? Always enjoy speculation...

yeah the 07 tundra is old news now though. and it was stated a few posts above.



and the new xb will be ginormous compared to what we have now., such a shame. i know if i wanted a big ol car it'd be an old classic , not some ginormous new car.
