Default Are there many XD around your city?

Anyone see any XD around your neighborhood? It seems the XD is not as HOT as the XA, XB, or TC. Why's that? The XD is roomy, more power, and the interior is nice. more safty feature. It's from Japan as well. If you change the front bumper, you can consider it's a JDM? even our XD still doesn't have the Sub-forum yet.......Makes me feel left alone.
Anyone feel what I feel?

I hardly see xA's around where I live. They're so rare! However, I have seen 2 red, 1 blue, and a dark gray. Actually I didn't see the dark gray, my bf did down in San Diego. Also I haven't seen advertisements for the xD at all, then again we don't have billboards around here either. So.. that might be why more people don't know they're out there. I didn't know till walked to the dealer with my bf to look at the tC with him when I saw the xD.

I live in the SF bay area, same thing happen here. We got tons of 1st gen XB here, and a lot TC around as well. I wish more people know about this car, and we can have more aftermarket parts as well.

I have seen three here in Columbus in the last week. Prior to that, I had not seen one for a very long time.

It's funny though, every time I have seen one going down the freeway it takes me so long to figure out what it is. I have been so confused by the looks of my own car! It just looks so much different on the road. I saw another black one on the opposite side of the freeway two days ago and I thought it was a mini Cayenne or something. Then I realized it was my exact car.

I have only seen one on the road so far and it was before I got my car! I think the fact that the car is so new and has not received very much advertising is why we ar enot seeing too many. Also, the auto industry is going through a HUGE slump right now due to the downturn in the economy. This means that not a lot of people are or will be buying new cars.

I did not know about this model until I saw it while test driving an XB. Hopefully we'll get enough owners to warrant some better aftermarket parts and a decent forum following. So for now, let's consider ourselves Pioneers! =)

I've seen one in town and about 4 total between New England, South Carolina, Florida and NorCal/Sonoma that I've been to since the car was released. So no, not many

I've not seen an xD on the street yet....sales guys claim they have sold them, though.

NOTE: An xD with auto is the same cost as an xB with a 5-speed. Meaning these vehicles are very close in cost! Maybe toooooo close. (Why not step up for $1100 more?)

I don't think I've seen one to this date (unless you include on the dealership). Unfortunately I think the xd will become the xa which I RARELY see as well. And to the one person who said the XB looks like poo; the xd isn't going to win a beauty pageant... . I do like the xd, but I got the xb2 mainly because of the 2.4 camry motor.

Congratulations on buying a top heavy, 3,000lbs+ car that has a underpowered, large 4 cyl engine.
