2008 Scion xD Concept Specs & Details
 
These are facts from what I just saw of the xD.

I just returned from the big deal down here in Miami.

No cameras were allowed. They were serious with the searches.

The xD is a 4 door.
The xD is not an Auris copy, at least not sheetmetal-wise.
EDIT - The engine is not certain, see the first post on page 2 for more details.
The xD has rear door speakers and cupholders.
It looks like a Matrix, but smaller, and with with the C and D pillars welded together.
The gauges are in front of the driver.
The gauges are backlit WHITE.

Ludacris performed at the release party.

It was on Friday?? I thought it was Dec. 16th. So NOBODY in the room took some stealthy pics?

hmmm.. possible trade in mind...

gjpjr84 12-16-2006 06:41 AM

HA i knew it! told you it would most likely get the same engine the tC has, that way all the TRD parts are interchangable. cheaper to make that way and more use out of the one design.

gjpjr84 12-16-2006 06:51 AM

deff more things will be interchangeable, but the engine bay has a lot to do with it too....xB CAI won't fit on an xA.

Max 12-16-2006 07:10 AM

Yep, the xD engine bay seems to be a lot smaller than the 08 xB, but they were both sporting the 2.4L at the show.

There seems to be more cargo room behind the rear seats.

The center belt is really odd. It reaches from the side, across the headliner, and drops down. It's ugly.

5 lug. The displayed car was wearing Volks. They were hot.

aireck 12-16-2006 07:13 AM

Volks.. Good choice!!!

bah! you get my drift :wink:
and i bet the new models can even use the tC stock/RS's/enkie18s too.


i have just about conviced my mom to get an RS3 xA..... but maybe she'll like one of these 2 better... :ponder:

I still want to see if first and it sucks that they are not releasing any pics until Feb.

How am I supposed to decide :nails:

BADS33D 12-16-2006 01:09 PM

yea, i heard from a friend that went to to event that this was true...they showed the new xd and the new xb..which is suppose to be longer than the current one,....and i believe that they both have the 2.4 in it. but they were pretty modded out. i know that the xb had projectors...but they took everyone's cameras and cellphones,etc.

Kinda expected that... But I would love to have seen it for myself.


And I long suspected that they would go monospec on the engines. Just choose a bodystyle and options and go. I really wanted a 1.8L, but hey, what can I do.

the current xA looks like a matrix but smaller, so basically they kept the same theme kinda, lol

I don't think your correct in the statement that the engine is going to be a 2.4L what I've been told so far is that it will be a 1.8L, but not the current 1.8L we known, as they are in the process of creating a new one for the 08 Corolla coming soon, likely it was hidden for that reason,

The xD has a 2.4L engine, although it was tried to keep hidden, but the model opened the hood then a corporate guy ran in and closed it real quick.

No Pictures. Talk about a joy kill.

If it looks like the Matrix, whats the point? It already looks like a Matrix - just shorter. LAME!!!

Then again, I should wait to see the pictures.

scionmike05 12-16-2006 09:45 PM

yea i saw them both and they were ver outstanding yes i remeber asking her to open the hood woops hahaha hope it stays thay way with exception of the lip kit the gold xolored matched the volks nicely on the new box. Loved the center staged shifter like a caliber very unique.................
