Default FamilyCar's xD Photos are Up!

I sort of like that glossy looking dash and pattern on the seats! Hopefully their review will come soon!

They've got a new xB gallery up too, will be very interested to see what these guys say about that car as well.

Not sure, but the guys that write the reviews on the site are usually invited along with other journalists to test drive new cars from manufacturers. I would assume this is pretty close to the real deal.

Still not feeling the body...i like the interior. I'll probably only like it with the kit. Maybe lowered, it'll make it look decent. Only thing i envy, is the increased power =\

The rear wiper kinda looks like a toy on the more aggressive, Dodge-Chargerish (to put an image into your head) look of the back of the car.

ok I got the perfect theme for the xD.......... make it look like a lil puppy and move the wiper to the down position so it would look like a wagging tail........

Hmmm.... I hated the looks of this little beast when I first saw it months ago.... but it's now starting to slowly grow on me.

I think the bigger rear wing finishes it off and makes it look a whole lot better. The profile picture below proves this:

I think the xD will probably bite into Yaris sales somewhat.

The wing helps the looks a lot!

I still can't get over that "dip" in the hood where the front badge is. Looks funky.

Other than that, it's OK.

Anybody know the brand of those wheels? They look like the wheels off of a 04 mazda 3.
I saw this color at the auto show. Indoors it looked lame but in the sun its not that bad.
Also it appears that this xD is dropped a bit. The red one in most of the pictures looks like a 4x4 its so jacked up.
