Kia's Scion xB2 Ripoff
Have you guys seen this thing? It's the 2010 Kia Soul. They had it at the Vans Warped Tour with small portions of it covered. It's totally an xB ripoff.

Rip off? yes. Ugly as sin? yes.
It's like the xB2's retarded cousin. Like the xB2 would be going to a good school like yale or something, and the Kia Soul is home eating paste and poorly coloring sesame street coloring books.

When I saw it at the Warped Tour, I thought it was an xB with some weird modifications. It has the same basic shape and design from what I could tell. Short snub nose with most of the interior room going towards seating space. It also had some weird back wheels with red outlining the spokes. It was ugly but it looks like they even copied the idea that it was designed for people to customize and modify.

The Flex is more of a relation to the first gen xB. Either way, the Flex is awful.
The Kia will sell in boat loads... just watch. It's quirky like the original xB was, but normal enough to not scare some people away. It will be a big seller for them.

I don't see the problem with the Ford Flexx. At least they're trying to do their own thing. The Chevy HHR and Chrysler PT Cruiser look virtually the same. Now this Kia Soul looks virtually the same as the xB. At least the Flexx has it's own unique look and it seats what?..7 people?
