Sooo ... kinda like with the xD, the xB looks waaaaay mo betta with the kit and wheels. I like it a lot more! Ummm ... yeah. I still wouldn't get it though. And it does kinda look like an HHR ... gag.

Hum, now it has the sport shift function, good for all those kiddies who want to think they're shifting heh

 

I like the front end and the roof line, but I hate the rear quarter pannels and the rear end...the new XB SUCKS, I love the XD, does anyone know if you can do a motor swap with the New XB????

 

& how much would the gold one cost to make? 20+k?

that's stepping into gti terriotry. or a mini S, or a civic S, or a lot of other "cool/cute" cars aimed at it's targeted group. I like my xB for it's looks & functionality, but at some point cost become a factor. I would not be owning one if it had been 17k+.

 

that is just sick, thanks for the link.

 

not bad, not bad.. =]

 

So this is a copy cat of HHR. Where're the Scion trademarks that we have grown to love???? 5 Axis or not...THE BOX IS DEAD!

Very disappointed.

 

at over a foot longer, it had better.

us xB owners know about use of space better than most though. when I tell people it sits on an eco frame and that even the chevy aveo hatchback weighs more, it shocks most.

 

It does look way better then the stock version.

 

could you be more specific?

 

Couple things I've noticed...

* Die-hard box lovers are bummed (I was too for a bit)

* Then pics of the 5 Axis xb2 come out and everyone likes it now

* TC owners who wouldn't even be seen in a box want to trade in for a new xB

* The extra foot of length is kinda lame, but I'll take the 55 extra hp anyday. Esp if it weighs less than a TC.

* The stock version sucks, plain and simple. It is BEGGING for 19's and a drop.

I'm reserving personal judgment until I can sit in one of these and drive it around. Till then, 5 Axis has officially redeemed the xb2.

 

I figured that on trade I could get 3-4 thousand over what I owe for the wifes xB. I am thinking about it. I am keeping my xB since we drive hers more. The airbags would be a nice thing to have seeing we have a 16 month old (who favorite toy is my TRD hat, he wears it around the house). I am going to have to check it out.

 

OK .... we get it ... you dont like the new box. Dont buy it.

 

I think i am happy with my slow 32mpg box the way it is. I think my box is hot, and all I did was add rims.

 

Man talk about going from ugly duckling to prom princess!! Slap on some new shoes, some make-up, a skirt and a nose job and this thing is hot. I thought, "Damn this is ugly" yesterday but with the kit it's like a different vehicle. I showed my girlfriend the new xB yesterday because she's thinking about getting a new car and she thought it was the ugliest thing on wheels, this might just change her mind.

 

Not even the kit can save it for me...

The kitted xD looks better, IMO

-THE DON

 

looks pretty decent.

 

You know what this means?

NEW xB DIECAST TOYS! Woohoo!

Ok, I'm done.

 

x2.


... but... the dual exhaust is now getting my attentnion.

 

it looks like a cross between a tc and a 1st gen xb. i noticed that it is 5 lug now. does the tc stock wheels fit? i think it will look pretty good with tc wheels.
