Scion recently flew Troy and I, along with a handful of other journalists, down to San Francisco to drive the new xB and xD around the city. We had a blast, and really got a feel for the new cars while exploring the beautiful, scenic city.

Nik Miles, a personal friend of ours, was also invited. He interviewed Mark Templin for his show, Miles Around, and here is the clip:

Here are some photos from the trip...

Lombard street is OK--but you should have retraced Steve McQueen's route in Bullitt...........The pictures make me homesick!!

Now thats a nice looking xD. I think i like that better then the red demo.
