The JDM market is apparently enamored with vehicles that look like they're stuck in the shipping crate. We saw the first generation Toyota bB here as the Scion xB before it went on an eating binge and lost all its charm. That original bB went on to another generation, and has its own scions in form of some Daihatsu models. Subaru inked a deal back in April to share models between Toyota and Daihatsu, and this hideous little box with the star-motif badges is the result. There are three trim levels, and the Dex will relieve you of $15,000-$20,000. And here we thought even Subaru had relinquished its weird years ago. Turns out it was there all along, and the Dex is the ballcap-shaped box of contrived quirk that proves it.

Sure, it's not the clearest picture, but we love spy shots so much that we'll put it up anyway. Wheelstorejt, a message board junkie over at ScionLife, snapped this shot of the next Scion xB. Unlike the vehicle's Japanese counterpart, the Toyota bB, it looks as if there won't be much of a redesign for the xB other than a longer wheelbase and the resultant more room in back. That is, of course, if this is truly the body the new xB is going to have... the other possibility is that the body's a mock-up mule and what's really being tested is a bigger engine sitting atop a Corolla platform. At any rate, it's likely the next model will be bigger and badder than the last.
