OK, 300+ drunk people saw the new xB, but since no cameras were allowed there is no photographic evidence of the car. Lets see some sketches of any particular details that you remember.

RTon20s

I figured since someone responded directly to my sketches I should at least do one more. This one is based on the spy photo that has been floating around and comments I have seen.

Ok...so it looks like a mixed breed between the xB and the Fuse concept? Unless someone there was at least somewhat SOBER!! or Someone snuck in a camera phone...did they search you b4 u went in??

OK ... about this sketch ...

headlights .. make the center a square rather then a round projector. The only projector was on the outside. They also wrapped slightly towards the rear of the box .. kinda like the tC ... that is where the ornage refelctive lense is. Meaning that i cant smash and clear these headlights .. they will have to be baked.

The fog on the bottom ... make that vent that they sit in shorter in hieght. Maybe by 1/4 ... and then center them on the lower part of the bumper. Now ... from the fog light moving towards the center of the grill ... drag that shaded spot to a point about 3" in real scale ( just about where you have the indentation now. )

The hood needs to be longer. Fenders flared just a tad more.

Get rid of that line on the rear window. Its one piece now and its the most narrow at this back corner.

And .. not that it matters ... but the front grills are not mesh or honey comb on this one. This one had a solid piece of flat black plastic with tiny holes ( bout as large as a kernel of corn ) randomly placed through out. And both allow air to pass through to cool the radiator.

the things is...isnt' the model shown at Miami supposedly had the 5axis body kit?...was it a lip kit or full front replacement?

The fenders are flared a bit more, but they have that flatness which is about 1"-1-1/2" all around the fenders, very reminiscent of the current tC and xA. I was not the biggest fan of it.

the front grill reminds me of the subaru redesign.

I have a side-profile shot of the T2B as my wallpaper on the system next to my laptop. If that's pretty close to what it looked like then I'm very very pleased. Love the looks of the T2B.

Once you guys get the exterior fairly well represented, would anybody care to take a wild stab at the interior?

Darrens is close ... but the air vents in front of the wheels are far too large. And .... the headlights were projectors.

And yes, the 5 Axis is an added lip kit. The Exhaust was 5 Axis as well.

Who's Darren?

^ how do you not know who Darren is? he's the owner of SL!!! I like the sketches you guys have made. Now if the real thing looks like the sketches, hmm.

ScionEyes

i think they do...

I now want to see sketches of the interior.. I like the placement of the shifter ~

wow, looks like I'll be jealous of the 08+ xb owners because that really looks nice.

But I think I'll stick with my OG box.

Hey-

Three sketches have been posted. They are from:

1) RTon20s
2) Guamsilverbox671
3) funktional

Can the folks who attended the Miami Event indicate which sketch they feel is the most accurate or closest to what the 2008 Xb revealed there looked like?

The second pic is about as close as My limited abilities allow me to show what the '08 will look like stock...what you saw in Miami is total 5axis work.
I used the scionlife xB pick, since thats how this car was based too. The changes externally aren't so huge, and the size difference probably wont even register with people until they park it next to an 'old' xB. enjoy.
