I just wanted to say thanks for pushing the envelope on this one. Halogen headlights, a 4-speed auto, 158 horsepower out of a 2.4, MacPherson struts up front and a torsion bar out back. I just think this might be my next car.

Seriously though, I actually do prefer the styling of my toaster. It has a pretty aerodynamic looking jet-black "fairing" on it to keep you from burning your hands on hot metal. And 16K + for an auto version? I'd definitely go for a Mazda 3 hatch before this... ]]>Apr 5th 2007 12:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/
Hopefully the fuel mileage will remain as high as the current gen xB. This new one looks better, and despite the increase in base price I bet it remains a big seller.]]>Apr 5th 2007 1:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/Apr 5th 2007 1:04PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/Apr 5th 2007 1:07PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/Apr 5th 2007 1:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/

1.) there is no accounting for taste (the old model looks almost like a classic compared to this version).

2.) AND, being a Toyota/Scion, it will probably sell in respectable numbers. After discontinuing the Celica, Mr2, and the Supra, Toyota no longer sells a car (or truck/SUV) that I would want to buy.]]>Apr 5th 2007 1:35PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/As much as you want to target Scions towards younger adults, when will you understand that we don't want "funky" or to be "different." We lust for Mustangs and Vettes, dream about supercars, and work as hard as we can to get something thats affordable and cool (Cobalt SS, Civic Si, Mazdaspeed 3, GTI, Used Camaro/Mustang etc). At the end of the day the young enthusiast wants something thats fast and looks good. When will you build a car for the young enthusiast and not some funky appliance?]]>Apr 5th 2007 1:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/09/scion-quietly-reveals-2008-tc/]]>Apr 5th 2007 1:47PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/Apr 5th 2007 1:48PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/Apr 5th 2007 1:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/
#12 Perhaps in your circle. Sometimes people want different. I know that I did when I bought my current xB. In the wake of $3.30 regular gas (California), a 15mpg muscle car just isn't as appealing.

#5 You have it right.]]>Apr 5th 2007 2:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/Apr 5th 2007 2:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/]]>Apr 5th 2007 2:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/Apr 5th 2007 2:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/scion-announces-xb-pricing-starts-at-15-650/Apr 5th 2007 2:56PM
