Is it me, or do the fender flares look reduced?

I heard a rumor @ Exposed that there will be a JDM version of the xB2. That sure looks like it could be it..

I've been looking around for some more info on it and I went to the website that the picture is from http://www.autonet.com.tw and its of course in Japanese or what ever people in Taiwan speak so i couldn't get very far.

^lol ...they speak Chinese (Mandarin) ;)

ooh i found the link to the article but you have to be "VIP" Im assuming you have to be a premium paying member to view the article, that sucks.

what does JDM stand for?

Japanese domestic market

Ooh I like!

good thing about this model coming out in japan is... JDM PARTS AVAILABLE!!!

yes so this could mean that the xb2 is jdm compatible. kind of... or at least you could make it be.

It also seems as if it has a sunroof. Look closely on the roof and you'll see some type of black figure. By the way anyone out there considering adding a sunroof to the xB2?

I saw someone on SL got a sunroof they said they got it from the dealer, they also got leather seats. i don't remember where i saw it.

Just love your XB :lalala: :lalala:

found some more pixs. http://translate.google.com/translat...ial%26hs%3DxHo

looks like they'll name it corolla rumion

It's not bad but I'm glad we got our xB instead.

In checking out emptystreets link I found this:
Corolla Rumion
You need to click on "Corolla Rumion" in the left side bar of the linked page.

It looks like this car will be announced officially October 9th.

Interesting differences on the Rumion.
It appears it will be available with 1.5L and 1.8L engine.
It has a different rear bumper cover with reflectors and the back up lights built into the taillights.

It also has a different wing.

It may have HID's on the 1.8L.
Says it will have a recline function on the rear seat.
The console is different and it looks like there is a fold down center arm rest in the rear seat back.

Definitely some possibilities for future mods with parts from the JDM version. That bumper cover should be a direct fit I would think. I hope everybody changes to that one so my single backup light is unique. LOL
As they said in the article (as translated by Google):
