only thing is....can the crummy/small engine that is regularly put in an xB handle that kind of extra weight :?:
i would think they would have to swap in another engine or sumthin. 108hp/105 foot-pounds of torque isnt gonna cut it.

in a word...no

check out the autoweek article where the limo was used as the prom limo alternative.

the funny quote in the article is the guy asking "Where's the bar?"

I meant to ask if you wanted to drive the Scion limo at my wedding. Ali wasn't a fan of that one...we ended up having a horse carriage.

Have you tried calling custom shops?
Maybe something like a hot rod shop, someplace that does alot of sheetmetal/fab work?

Or if you want a super stretch, talk to a few limo rental companies and find out who makes their limos.

Did anyone else notice that that looks like a stretch bB?

It looks like it's RHD, the rear hatch is JDM, and it's got the JDM chrome door handles and trunk handle cover.

Yeah, but it's got the USDM badges and FL plates on it. I'm guessing it's an xB that got sent to one of those custom shops where they stretch expeditions and hummers. Then they just added the chrome handles.

No rear sidemarker + a-pillar radio antenna.
But it looks like a Taurus in the refelction. :?

I say it's a bB sent stateside.

Converting a car from LHD to RHD is a lot harder than changing badges and plates.

That looks different. I would hope the shop that does that, drops in a Supercharged Corolla engine to help move the thing along.
