I wouldn't call the xB a comfort king, but this is good press:

Chevrolet TrailBlazer and Scion xB Offer Most Legroom for Commuters Craving Extra Inches Behind the Wheel (link)

When I took my Dad for a ride after I got mine he mentioned this.

Will the successor to the xB live up to expectations? There are many details which are unnoticed until you realize they're gone. It's part of Toyota's appeal for me.

 

The xB replacement is said to be bigger............

 

If there's something that the xB could use to be "bigger", I'd say the engine.

That car is just too slow. Throw in a Corolla 1.8L atleast. I got in one of those before and took about 30 seconds to get to 80mph from a stand still.
