umm.. ahhh.. ehh... thus far, i do not care for that prototype/concept much. reminds me slightly of a mix between a weird sienna minivan and a gewl or jewl golf cart. who knows.

I kinda like it.

I doubt I'll get one, but it looks good, IMO. Bigger wheels, taller stance.

It may get lost in the crowd of similar vehicles, but I dig the sportier stance.

It's just close enough to an xB to make me still like it.

It looks ok. If they keep the wheels and use the current xB I am down.

Isn't that the t2B concept car??

If you've seen the video...you'd probably come to the same conclusion most of us have a few months ago, they wont be making this car. JMO!

If xB bB drivers think they catch heck NOW...OMG I can't wait to see what happens IF they drive that car down the road!!!

You know I wish Scion would just post stuff! I know why they dont ... for NOW sales, but I hate speculation. You know they know something.

Im debating buying another one now and my dealer says Im waiting for the RS3 then says get one now before they dont make xB anymore...

I wish they'd just fess up!!!

So far I've heard 06 is the last year before they discontinue this xB style!

My husband wants the truck version. :D

t2b is in fact a concept with no intentions of being built. at least no where near what it looks like. they made it as a way to see what changes to the car were more sought after and put said features into the xB's replacement.

2006 is the last model year for the xB.

Oh, and Nissan already sells the Skyline in the U.S. It's called the Infinity G35.

The Skyline R35 and Infiniti G35 are built on the same platform, and Nissan claims to be releasing an "Infiniti G35 GT-R V-Spec II" model in the near future which is basically a "U.S. Skyline".

Just to clarify, are you stating that the XB will no longer be built after '06?

Or, are they just renaming the XB and changing the look a bit for '07 and beyond? Why would they stop building the XB when it annihilated sales projections and is so popular?
