funny xB Q&A
I pulled my xB into the parking garage this morning at work and as I got out noticed a guy who had just parked too checking out my ride. We silently walked to our office building and got on the same elevator. As the doors shut he said:
Q. How do you like your Element?
A. It's not an Element; it's a Scion xB made by Toyota. They just became available in our region in June. I love it; it's a great car.
Q. So it's a Hybrid?
A. Nope, gasoline engine; but it gets great gas mileage.
Q. Oh; thanks.
He got off on a accounting firm's floor; I smiled to myself.

Most people around here don't know what the "F" an XB is. They ask and I tell them "it's a Scion XB". They say "A what?" Then I say it's made by Toyota, then they're like "oh yeah!" Stupid people!!

I got that constantly, especially when I first got the car 4-5 months ago.
I've given up explaining "Scion" -- I just tell people it's a Toyota. As far as I'm concerned, it's a Toyota. "Scion" is just a marketing scheme, not a real brand IMO.
As far as the hybrid thing, I got so tired of being asked, I just started giving out random answers. Sometimes I'd say yes. Sometimes I'd tell people its electric. I told one guy it was hydrogen powered. LMAO.
:twisted:
Maybe I'm not helping the cause by spreading disinformation, but it gets old being questioned all the time, I just wanted to have a little fun with it....hehehe

It happened again Friday morning...
I pulled my xB into the parking garage at work and as I got out noticed a different guy who had just parked too checking out my ride. We silently walked to our office building and got on the same elevator. As the doors shut he said:
Q. How do you like your new car?
A. I love it; it's a great car. It's a Scion xB made by Toyota.
Q. So it's a Diesel?
A. Nope, gasoline engine; but it gets great gas mileage.
Q. Oh; thanks.
He got off on a life insurance firm's floor; I smiled to myself. :D RPM

It does get a wee tiresome with all the questions... But it comes with the territory, I guess...

I'm seeing a lot more of them on the roads here in the Bay Area, mostly stock.

They make me think of "Walace and Gromit" for some reason.
