Default 2007/2008 xb

I tell you all if the new xb is to be anything like the t2b, I say bye bye 04 and hello 07/08 xb more power, more room, and plenty of potential to customizing, now the t2b really looks like an old gangster car from the back. What do you all think?

I am not a big fan of it. I'll stick with my 06. It is definitely different though.

I love the design and potential that the concept has. Obviously the doors won't make it into production, nor will the full LED dash, but the overal styling should be very similar. I can't wait to see what it looks like.

Though very unlikely, I hope that the LED headlights make it into production.

WORD!!

I would rather see them go smaller than larger. Everything doesn't have to be bigger and better---it can be smaller and better. (I'd settle for the same size for that matter)

Okay, I agree about the new bB. That is one fugly ride! But the t2b? Come on! Tell me this doesn't look nice!





The lighting is very nice, The exhaust is cool, its boxy but has smooth curves. I like a lot of the ideas, but if they kept going with this and do what they usually do to concept cars - make them a little less concepty, and a little more practical - then we have a winner!

i like the interior... but the exterior, namely the front end, needs some help. I don't like the lights in the front, looks all futuristic and crap, not practical at all.

Also... they created a HUGE BLIND SPOT and made the windows WAY smaller. IMO- Not cool. I like the amount of viewing area I have in my xB. Who wants to buy a vehicle that size with the same size windows as a vette? weak.

Thats the beauty of concept cars - to look futuristic, and somewhat impractical. If they decide to go ahead with it, thats when they redesign it a little and make it more practical.

Its like a chop-top.

There are a lot of things I would change, but there is something about it that I really like that I can't put my finger on. I think its the simplicity. Its very smooth.

Have you ever tried to take 3 friends on a road trip? Just pack up and head to Disney for a few days.
