Default Have Tc, want Xb

I have to admit it yall, when I first saw the Xb, I thought that it was ugly, but man, have I changed my mind. Ive seen some really cool Xbs and if I had a few extra bucks there would be one parked next to my Tc. Keep up the good work gang.

Since when are tCs played out? I see a lot more xBs then tCs. I love both, I finally decided on the xB because of more room and 4 doors.

I see more tCs in my town than xBs. I bought the xB since its unique looking. The tC is very nice but not as unique looking.

I will agree I see more tc's than I do xb's and xa's. When i'm riding in our tc nobody ever waves. When i'm riding in our xb the few people we see actually wave!!!

Yeah to the xb owners!

i had a tC for 8 months. loved the car to death. still love the tC. but for me and my personality and desires i could do SO much more with an xB than i could with a tC. its just a bigger canvis in my mind to mod. so i traded in my tC and bought an xB. wouldnt go back for the world.

im gong to have to say i like each scion, they all win in their own ways. each car has a differnt personality and style. i cant wait to see the look of the xD. i know scion wont let us down

I don't think I've ever seen an xA driving around anywhere (I live in the Raleigh/Wake Forest, NC area) at all.

I only see a couple tC. They all look stock to me. But I think tCs arre pretty sexy cars.

I see more xBs than tCs but even still, it's not that many. I've seen two of them that look like they've had some work put into them. One was grey and the other was burgundy (sorry, I dunno the real names of them :-p).

I raced one xB one night and got smoked. Bad. I drive a white xB by the way so if anyone has raced on on Capital Blvd, lemme know who you are.

The Xb is one of the most unique vehicles on the road. I love my Tc, dont get me wrong, but it is just a 2 door sport compact that comes nicely equipped.

Once I get out of law school I may get an Xb for some serious custom work. I think that my Tc will be my daily driver forever. Either way, I love scion.

I see tcs more then xbs probably 10 tcs for every xb, and probably 200 xbs for every xa, I've got 3 tcs at work right now, one that was brand new(2k) her dad backed over it, another hit a deer(32k, new bumper driver's door, fender, quarter, sunroof, windshield), the other was hit in the rear(not sure on milage) new back end, and we just put a bumper on the other, it was a dealer car

the tC is a sweet ride. You get a loaded car that is above (way above) kia quality at a kia price. Still, if I had to do it all over again I would still buy an xB. I drive a lot and the 30 plus MPG is a huge money saver. Plus with the xB (also the tC) it is mods o plenty.

I wouldn't say they are played out. It's just with the new G6 (ripoff of the tC silhouette) they don't seem so different anymore so inturn less noticeable. Plus even tho they are slightly slower they are more fun to drive when modded properly because of the lighter weight.

I'd say the best benefit of the tC is that it's not a Pontiac/GM product.
