Default Scion looks like a Mini Van?

Just curious, ever have an idiot mistake your SCION XA for a Mini-Van? Or were they just taking shots at you?

If anything it's kinda like a mini-minivan... Ever stare at a Toyota Sienna for a long time and think it looks like a giant xA? :p

xA looks like a mini-Murano from the back and maybe a mini-Sienna from the front or mini-Matrix from the side.

xB looks like a mini-AstroVan or mini-Element from far away.

xA like a minivan? Nah.

My wife makes fun of my xB though and calls it the Astro. Everytime we see an Astro on the road she's all like "there's your car honey." argh.

Lol yeah i do this too. its funny coz 2 of my closer friends picked up the matrix Xr or whatever. nice cars but ill keep the smaller version of it.

I dont see how the xA looks like a mini van at all.. just by size alone.. but i guess if you have a good imagination sure umm why not.. i guess. Maybe i should add a sliding door to the xA or two! :twisted: [/quote]

No... but folks keep telling me they've seen a bright yellow xA running around town and I keep telling them, that unless it's a custom paint job, please don't confuse my xA with a Chevy Aveo. Maybe it's a Kia, but I doubt a yellow xA is running around....

Someone asked my sister if my xA was a mini van when I got it. Ick.
But I've had people at school and on the highway's follow me just to beep or waive, especially if we have the same car. That makes up for it. A lot more people like it than don't.

the Xa is an Xa, and the XB is an XB. I am such a proud Scion Owner, i will shut down anyone that tried to make fun on my mess. I live in the Easternshore with a bunch of hillbilly's that drive 8 feet tall trucks, I park right next to them, and i love the way my scion look next to their nasty ___ dirty hillbilly trucks. SCION forever, Mini-van my ___.

I would love to see a mini van with LED lights, sprts clutch, 17 inch rims, and Absolute red. I would have a day making fun of that mess.

My friends call my XA RS1 the Supository. I love it!!!

The xA looks to me like a bowed-up Mini Cooper! You know, all up on his back legs with an attitude!

xA forever!!!

Markrs1, i live on the shore too. Not in the touristy part though. I'm on Kent Island... SO if you want to talk about rednecks being around. WE ship ours off on vacation to ocean city.

My ex-carwash used to charge me the large car fee cause they said my BoX was a mini-van.
