Default 08 xB spy shot!

www.thecarconnection.com just posted a pic of a test mule

Scion's hot-selling xB is due to be redesigned soon, and the replacement vehicle is expected to be larger than the current model. This photo captures a prototype mule, obviously based on the current xB, but stretched, which seems to confirm that the new xB will be at least a few inches longer than today's car. -Antoine Guilbaud/Hidden Image

i thought the xb was supposed to keep people away from hummers, not make a car that mimicks them, i like it better than all the other things ive seen, maybe it will have a bigger motor, for all you guys with the smaller boxes to drop in.

How could a suposed 08 model be sitting in down town USA.

Looks like a fake report to me. Would you not see this in Japan if it was true?

Maybe its the RS 4.0 (even though i know they would not go through this trouble for only 2200 cars)...I figured the new 2008 would look completely different and not just be an extended version of the xB!!

Its a fake post!!

sweet. still like the more compact design better, but we'll have to wait until the cosmetic changes are in place...

Horrific. I guess they're saying this is just the bB structure with an xB body on it to test it out... hopefully this is true. Odd that it has the different door handles too... and head rests.
