Forbes has the Scion xB on the Top Ten List for auto with the best resale value after 3 years. Here is a link to the article:

Are they talkinga bout the old one or the new one? With a $2000 change in base MSRP, that's a pretty critical distinction.

Zombietime

Most likely the original. The new xB may as well be an entirely different model.

They show a pic of the new one though... but has to be the old one... given the 3 yr thing.

Zombietime

Gotta be the old one. The new one probably has good resale too but it can't be as good as the original.

all the information on that page is about the new one. 2008-current

They always show the latest models. It seems to apply to all versions of the xB but especially the original in my experience.

i could care less if it was our model or that thing they call an 08 xB. i will never sell mine. especially not considering i have a spare motor and trans in case mine ever goes.

This is actually old news. Popular Mechanics, edmunds.com, and a few other big names have had the xB 04-06 model in their Top 3 for resale value (based on MSRP) for at least a year and a half now.

^^ and CNN listed it as a "future collector car"

I also saw the xA on a top ten resale value list on AOL, they reffered to the '04, it was number 9

any which way.. its cool to hear.. a lot of vehicles (most) never get mentioned..

Not surprising considering the list resale on my 4 year old xB is only like 800 dollars less than I paid new. Not letting it go any time soon tho.

who cares about resale?
I never plan on selling mine, and no one would want it anyways, not after I am done with them.
