#41 of 306 Re: They've killed xB. Stupid idiots. [mikus] by milehr Mar 03, 2007 (11:52 am)
Replying to: mikus (Feb 11, 2007 8:13 pm) I agree with you. Toyota responded to the chorus of idiots, singing "I want this, I want that!” who skipped the part "And want it all for the same money!" Otherwise, they would have gone and bought another model. I own 2006 XB, and enjoy it immensely for what it is. Trust me, I can afford much more expensive car, but every time I look at the current XB, my heart leaps with joy. And similar reaction I get from the other people, who also did a research and knew what they were buying (or would have liked to buy). Toyota had to make those appearance changes for 2008 XB, because with the bigger engine and size, the shape must be more aerodynamic, to retain decent fuel economy. However, by doing that, they lost unique franchise and moved the car into another category, where the competition is much greater. Am I glad that bought my XB in its last year of existence?

#42 of 306 What about the specs? by schreftb Mar 05, 2007 (8:45 am)
I read all kind of stuff about the Xb, but no one addresses the prime reason I am interested.   If my research is right, it has more driver head and leg room than any other car on the market.   Any comments? Write me schreftbyahoo.com.   Thanks,   Bernie Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Mar 05, 2007 10:25 am) milehr (Mar 07, 2007 4:17 pm) 719b (Mar 07, 2007 8:29 pm) big_guy (Apr 19, 2007 1:25 pm) texases (Apr 19, 2007 2:05 pm) and 3 more...

#44 of 306 2008 xB Competition by hll7575 Mar 07, 2007 (8:22 am)
I will be looking for a new family vehicle within the next 12 months. So far, I have narrowed down to Honda's CR-V and Fit. With the CR-V, I would consider just the 2wd/LX model with the needed ABS, decent gas mileage, etc. With the Fit, I am primarily looking for super gas mileage and functional interior, but still with ABS. There is roughly $5,000 difference between CR-V and Fit.   Now with the 2008 xB, it looks pretty darn good in all the functional and safety features. Even its gas mileage is similar to CR-V's, I am very sure that its price will be right in the middle between Fit and CR-V. If so, I will be inclined to choose the 2008 xB over either Fit or CR-V.

Replying to: schreftb (Mar 05, 2007 8:45 am) Lol, Bernie. Lincoln Navigator has more driver head and leg room, and so do many other models. Read the numbers m.

Replying to: milehr (Mar 07, 2007 4:17 pm) where did you see the head and leg room numbers for the 2008 xb to compare with the lincoln navigator?
#47 of 306 Re: Is the Xb now a direct competitor to the Element? [twain] by mrvfr Mar 08, 2007 (2:21 pm)
Replying to: twain (Mar 02, 2007 9:24 pm) The 08 XB dimensions are now very close to the Element and power/engine is in the same ballpark so unless the price jumps dramatically it should be a strong competitor to the Element except where AWD is desired. For me - even living in Minn. I feel AWD is way oversold and FWD is all one needs 99+ % of the time esp. if you have winter wheels/tires. Would expect the TC supercharger will fit too - that'd be a fun vehicle. Replies to this message: robt2 (Mar 13, 2007 12:02 pm)
#48 of 306 08-XB specs from Edmunds vs. Element by mrvfr Mar 08, 2007 (2:53 pm)
Checking Scion "future vehicle" here on Edmunds and doing some addition, I get XB vs element: width 69.5 vs 71.5, length 167 vs 169, WB 102 vs. 101 . Both have 2.4L motors - It'll be interesting to see and compare prices. Anyone know when the 08 XB will hit showrooms? June +/- 1 month would be my guess.

Isn't the Element taller as well. Replies to this message: rik4 (Mar 09, 2007 7:03 pm)

Replying to: dudleyr (Mar 08, 2007 9:46 pm) i believe it hits showrooms in april. that is what they did with the fj cruiser also. gives them a longer year to sell them.
