Hmm, yes.. but is bigger necessarily better? One of my reasons to like the xB is it's compact size.. stretching it out just makes it look more like a Ford Explorer

 

at least it won't disappear....
just longer and still around.. sweet.. i can dig that!

 

repost... hehehe - beat ya to it by 2 hours

oh gosh that looks disgusitng

how do yu go jdm on that??

 

The hood looks longer, bigger engine??

Q: Is bigger better?
A: Maybe, more power, more room, etc, etc, but I think the compact size of the xB is as important to making it unique as its shape.

When Toyota already makes other engines that are the same size, 1.5 that put out 20-50 more hp, why not just make more out of what we've already got?

Even though another article recently said that there will be no 4th Scion, I wouldn't mind having a choice between a long and a short xB.

hehe, long bus vs short bus.

 

if the hoods longer, i hope they give it a more powerful engine

wonder if the price of the car will go up since they're makigne verything som uch bigger

 

The hood is definitely longer and looks like might be a little more room behind the back seat? Not sure if I like the longer hood.

 

from what i heard it was going to have the tC's engine.. if the concept auto show vehicle is any indication.. 2.4L around 160hp..

 

I like as long as they put some good looking wheels on it not steelies. It should have the tC engine because its probably alot heavier.

 

ewww.. I'm almost hoping that's just some bad photoshop...

toyota makes a 1.5L that pulls ~125hp or so? oh what car is it on?

 

Anyone else notice that its parked by a regular xB? hehe

 

hrm.. also, looks like it uses the same doors as the old xB, but has tC-ish door handles

 

my god its hideous
I think i found a front end picture of the new xb

 

I like "pull handles", but they conflict with the smooth side of the boxy xB. I don't think they should get rid of the current "lift handles".
That thing looks deformed.

 

no, as i understand its NOT the tC's engine. bu i think its still spose to be a 2.4L

and its not good looking to me stretched out either. it looks like a lame land rover. i liked the short astro van look of the current xBs if they stretch them the'll have no individuality. like how that minivan of a civic SI used to be. can we please keep compacts COMPACTS!

 

Sorry still looks fake to me.................>

 

Pull handles are more reliable and less prone to breakage in cold climate

 

That is absolutely disgusting. Excuse me....I have to go vomit now.

 

Stretch it a couple more feet between the wheels, add a door and it will look like a Hummer limo. No thanks.
