#4 of 23 Expect the XB by autoboy16 Jan 04, 2007 (10:38 pm)
TO LOOK LIKE THE TOYOTA bB! After seeing some sketches in the SCION life room and hours of reading wikipedia, the toyota BB looks like the Perfect evolution of the XB to a more aerodynamic boxy shape! Also thats what the Toyota bB(Aka SCION XB) became in Japan.   READ and View here!   I Hope this is it! Hopefully a 5speed automanual will be offered. I heard rumors of it also using the tC's engine so hopefully the supercharger will work! -Cj
#5 of 23 2008 model? by darthclutch Jan 11, 2007 (7:09 pm)
Replying to: cbscinta (Dec 26, 2006 7:14 am) According to a local dealer, there is no 2007 model and there is a slight redesign in store for 2008 (what does that mean?) that will be released as a mid-year car "in the spring". There is a loy of internet buzz out there about what the 2008 is, and most of the buzz shows pictures of the wrong cars. Don't believe evertything you read, unless it comes directly from Toyota. Unfortunatley, they haven't been talking about the fate of the xB. The best way to know for sure is to wait!   t2B: so far as I know, this is just a concept car   bB: this is the Japanese version of the xB that was released there first... seems to look identical except for the bB logo on the grill. Check out wikipedia for some other interesting differences, like front bench seats, alternate motors, and column shifters.   There are photos from a car show floating around that seem to the most likely 2008 xB redesign, if there is indeed going to be one. Personally, I don't really care for it. It looks too much like a Civic hatchback or a PT Cruiser.   Daihatsu also has something called the Coo. Looks almost identical to the xB from the car show.   Nissan has had the Cube since 1998, and there is some talk that Nissan is considering selling them in the US. It would mean a minor redesign, since the rear of the car is glass on the left side and metal on the right, taking advantage of natural blind spots a right hand driver would have, but that would be a problem here. As much as I like Nissan (my first 3 cars were Nissans... the xB is the first non-Nissan I have owned), I think the xB looks more stylish that the Cube. It's hard to imagine anyone customizing a Cube.
#6 of 23 2008 Xb Pricing by carvehicleauto Jan 18, 2007 (5:07 pm)
Has Scion mentioned anything about pricing on new 2008 xBs? I'm hoping it will stay in the $14-16K range for a base model. What about new/additional accessories? Replies to this message: icechuu (Jan 30, 2007 6:57 pm) raychuang00 (Jan 30, 2007 10:33 pm)

Replying to: carvehicleauto (Jan 18, 2007 5:07 pm) Just talk to someone at the Scion dept while looking into the 2006 XB few days ago, he said the 2008 XB will have more curvature to it, but still boxy like. Engine will be a little more powerful, however, it will cost a couple of thousand more compare to the 2006XB. But I don't know how reliable this is??

Replying to: icechuu (Jan 30, 2007 6:57 pm) It appears that the 2008 xB (which will be officially unveiled next week) will be based off the same platform used by the Toyota Avensis wagon sold overseas, and will definitely use the 2.4-liter I-4 engine found on the Scion tC sports coupe. Leaked pictures from the Autoblog website note the Scion t2C concept car strongly influenced the design of the new xB.
#9 of 23 And the Scion t2C looks like by iluvmysephia1 Feb 02, 2007 (7:11 pm)
a better body design than the xB IMO, too. I think that Americans will like it more than the xB body style. The xB is the only one of the original 3 Scion's I still don't like.   It's not hip to be square, in the case of the Scion xB, anyway.

#12 of 23 big pictures... by darthclutch Feb 10, 2007 (9:49 pm)
I was pleasantly suprised to see these photos come from the Chicago auto show on February 8. The new xB's design looks like the t2B concept vehicle, but without the goofy interior and the 3 doors. Too bad, I kind of liked the idea of a sliding passenger door. I guess Toyota didn't want the car to be TOO wierd. Can't wait to see what optional stuff they offer in the showroom.   These pictures are pretty good: http://www.carscoop.autoblog.com/photos/2008-scion-xb/   Essentially a few inches wider and longer and an inch shorter than the original xB, with a more sophisticated interior, bigger cargo area (shocking!) and a 2.4L engine... supposedly the same as the tC. I haven't heard of any prices posted yet, but I'm guessing it'll be more than the 2006 model.   Of course, the best information can be found by seaching news.yahoo.com and putting in scion in the search box...

Price will be way up and mpg way down. Think FWD Element. Replies to this message: arumage (Apr 27, 2007 6:54 am) aatherton (Apr 29, 2007 1:22 pm) arumage (Apr 29, 2007 1:56 pm) and 3 more...
