Sorry, but this car is ugly! You can give it a tC engine, slap a supercharger on there, a lip kit, rims, whatever. It may even have cooler features and be safer, but the overall shape of the car is U G - L Y

I can finally say for certain, I LOVE MY 1st GEN xB! No trade for me. If the price is right on the xD it could be a contender in the compact market, but the new xB is trash!

I'd like to see one in person. My brother is starting to get interested in my box, but he was complaining about the engine. When these come out we'll have to take a run to the showroom floor.

bubble headlights... What the... Toyota keep your designs out of the scion line! I think the new camry looks good except the bubble headlights. Now they screwed up the xB. So far it doesn't look good. I guess they want their brand to go under.

I doubt it actually comes with HID's. car and driver may have made an error here. or the model they got may have had an accessory or two added to it. just doesn't sound right to me.

<-- could be wrong

I still like the original xB. I think the new xB looks more like an Element now. I'm sure enthusiasts will either love them or hate them.

I take it that's the new xD (red) pictured? That's not bad looking, but I still like my xA. Just one pf the things that drew me to the xA was the center gauges. Gives you that "Mini" feel that I rather like.
