Default Car and Driver leaks 2008 xB & xD (Real Photos!)

Sorry guys, but we have an agreement with Scion that we will not publish the photos on ScionLife until tomorrow. If we don't scratch their back then they don't scratch ours.

Please do not post the new xB or xD photos until Thursday's press conference. Thank you.

I just hope those 10 pages of hatred were not deleted.

We've seen it... most didn't like it.

Ha, lame. This site has an agreement with Scion. But Autoblog doesn't, so for those of you still wanting to see the cars head over to Autoblog.

Hate it. I'll keep my RS2 until at least the NEXT iteration.

If I wanted a mashup of a tC, a FJ Cruiser, and an Element, I'd just get a bodykit.

If it were 'all that' I'd have been laying down a deposit. Sadly, it's very much not.

I'm betting Scion will freshen the tC for the 08 model year by giving it a new front bumper that looks more in line with the new look.

I'm keeping my xB but I will be getting the xB2. After reading 10 pages of hate I have to laugh... all the people whined about the new JDM bB, now people say they want it.. A bunch of people liked the t2B and a bunch hated it, so now we have a quasi t2B. Personally I like the styling, its missing some of the cues that the xB had in Miami, and the xD is missing a lot of the cues the one in Miami had.

I waited three years for Scion to even get out to where I live, and I cancelled my FJ to get the new xB. Theres a lot of potential there for people who do mods.

The sad thing is I can see now there will be people who dont really make an effort at shows and stuff to include new xB and xD owners.

Anyway thats my .02 cents and rants off.

Why is it lame that scionlife has an agreement with Scion not to post pics? Scion has been more than accomodating to us as an owner community so there is nothing wrong with respecting their wishes.

I vote ban for you.
