Cool Just picked up our Scion Xb Yesterday!



We got it in metallic green, 5spd, floormats only.

We love it (GF's daily driver), and for a stock car, it handles great, even on the freeway! Plus its very roomy, and gets 31mpg city, 35 hwy.

Within the next three years, a TRD blower, exhaust, custom large sunroof, struts & springs, and some Volks are making their way onto it!!!

Very good value at 14,285 + tax & tags...

David

I like those cars. They seem to have a fairly even weight distribution and a low center of gravity. With a few suspension parts I bet that car could be a beast in the twisties. No one I know seems to agree with me though. The only thing about that car I dont like are the semi-altezza tails and 93 hp.

Those are called clear corners, and it has clear side markers too!

Actually, the 108hp 1.5L VVT-i motor picks up OK, but of course a blower is getting installed in the future (as soon as we can afford it!).

Cool! I just saw one on the road the other day and it looked even better in person. I don't really know what draws me to that car, but I really like it.

If you saw it in white you could relate it to a refridgerator...

Back in 99, my neighbor had one in Japan. Whatever floats your boat. In Japan, they are called the Toyota Bb Box. It looks to me like somebody layed their washnig maching on its back and put 4 wheels on it!

Congrats on the new ride though Dave! :thumbup:

I wish I had a digicam! If I'm able to bring it to UCKK tonight, then I'm sure someone will be able to take a pic of it.

I've already ordered the jdm bB front & rear tags for it!

In Japan they are available w/AWD, but I don't think that motor could handle pushing all 4 wheels.
