Thanks so much for the great comparison pictures. To me they look like they are related. "They" are saying that the new bB will not be coming to the U.S. What is the word you are hearing? The new bB looks to me like a good replacement if the xB over here has to be replaced. Thanks again for the great pictures.............

I didn't even know the new bB was out on the street already...
Nice to see these photos! Now I REALLY hate the new bB design! When I saw pictures I thought the front was nice, I just didn't like the tails. Now seeing it again, I hate everything!
Mazda minivan front, PT Cruiser back. Looks nothing like a "box" anymore.

I think the new bB is too much of a departure from our rectilinear boxes, BUT... let's face it, if they brought it here, our cars would look instantly dated like 10 years. Look at the pix... the new one looks like a thoroughly modern vehicle. The crazy-short overhangs, the way the bodywork looks wrapped around the wheels, ect.
Makes me wonder what the actual replacement for the xB will look like...

I definately prefer the OLD bB. The new one is cute in it's own way but not as a xB. If it ever does come to the US it undoubtedly look different due to safety regulations like the original. It's pretty sweet looking though. Not a big fan of the front end. Looks more like an xA on steroids. Good pics! Thanks.

Funny that the same opinions were made on the xB!
Either you loved it or hated it. Almost never a middle ground. Either way, they DO make a statement.
When my 06 dies, I would be up for the new one. Not drive a box? No way!

so...the back is an xA on steriouds...the front is a mazda...pretty much the only thing "box" about it is its overall shape? What a lame replacement for the xB. Two thumbs down!
but i guess the side is...okay?
