Replying to: alpha01 (May 31, 2007 11:33 am) But the 5-speed can.... The January 2006 issue of Car & Driver did a "comparo" called "Rebellious Boxes": http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=15&article_id=10524 The Scion xB article is at: http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/10528/2006-scion-xb.html In that article it says "it was last in acceleration to 60 mph, 0.1 second behind the Element..." The Element article is at: http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/10525/2006-honda-element-ex-p.html And it says "The Element nips the Scion by 0.1 second in the sprint to 60 mph, arriving in 9.5 seconds." So the Scion xB was tested at 0-60 in 9.6 seconds.

The new Xb should be around 8.0, with a 5-speed, much faster than 9.5 of the last one. DrFill |

The automatic previous gen was ~11.2 to 60? AKA, OVER 2 SECONDS FASTER TO 60. The manual should be about 1.6 seconds faster to 60, that is very significant. |

Getting a 5-speed under eight seconds is possible, but not much below that. 7.7-7.8 at best. DrFill |

Replying to: mrharper68 (May 31, 2007 7:23 pm) There is no more markup on fits in nc. Every dealer has 2 or 3 sitting on the lots. You still get the occasional 'this car has been detailed with 1st place finish so that ads 799 to msrp' kind of crap, but its easy to let the dealer now you are not there to bullcrap.

I have about 1k on my xb. Mixed driving is consistantly above 25mpg. On the road at 75 plus, I am now getting 32.3. Now for all of you who are making comments without owning one this is one of the nicest cars I have owned. Smooth riding, quiet. great pickup and passing power. What more could you want for 18k?
