The funniest thing that I was told was when I went to get my inspection at the dealership that I bought my xb. Well I wasnt really told but shown. I didnt notice it until I got home that on the inspection sticker I thought it was funny. It says.........

Year 04(wrong year) Make "TOY" in big letters

my friend has a sound maker he got at radio shack... it has the icecream truck jingle... ide be fun to take a white one to a park and blast it while maybe parking so ppl would be confused as for where the ice cream truck is

I couldn't tell if this was an insult or not:

I pulled into the parking lot at work the first day I had my box and a coworker says "My.... that's an... interesting car you have there"

CozShnoz

Not really an insult (I don't think anyway), but I got my xB today and let my wife drive it. About 110 feet out of the driveway, she said "I feel like I'm driving a milk truck." I thought it was cute, but that's just me.

The comments I get with my XB are unique per social group.

From African American folks: I love your Truck man. It's not a truck people, unless you consider a front wheel drive 2400 lb unibody car a truck.

From the hicks: "Iz dat one of em hybrids?"

From the lifted truck farm boys: "Your box is ___, metro"

From the average uneducated female gas station attendent: ~Shocked and appaled~ "What the heck is that?"

From the middle age lady- "That's a cute car, where do you plug it in?" I don't have a problem with the cute comment, as I'm a guy that can appreciate the softer things in life.

From little boys-"Wow, that's a cool car". This groups seems to be most impressed with the Scion. Just drive up to a mall entrance and watch little boys stare in admiration. I think it's something about the XB's toy like factor.

From little girls-"Mommy, mommy, look, it's a mini limo" I got this comment several times at the drive-in theater this summer. My XB is Polar White with puddle lights. Have to admit, it does kinda have tha limoesque look.

From my 40 y/o colleague- "It reminds me of the matchbox cars I used to play with when I was a little boy."

From the Accountants that I support in the offfice- "How well does it depreciate?" "Is it electric?" "Because if it is you can apply for a tax credit." I love these people, they are always educating me on ways to save on my taxes!

Fun times with the XB, I have never got this much attention and had this much fun with any other vehicle. Now, if it only had a bit more power!

The only negative comments that I get are from slack-jawed big tired pickup truck types.

Most others either make an inquizative comment or a funny (harmless) joke.

Hey, I also ride a unicycle so I'm used to it....

This happened a while back. It was summer time and my windows were all rolled down. It was a hot night downtown and I was currently looking for parking so I can dine with my buddies. Driving around, it was like around 9pm and the moon was out, some old drunk guy with a bunch of friends, screamed out, "hey, how much tissue does that box hold?"

I was kind of laughing... hehehe..

ninjastance

mine is people thinking its an element. it doesnt look like an element at all!

I've heard a "mini astro" (the reason I bought the car), "lunchbox" (my favorite), "is that a hybrid", but the one's that really get to me is, "is that the hummer?" my answer is just, "no ma'am I have full confidence in myself to not need a total waste of space." or the other one that is the honda element... it's not a honda. there's no big H in front. I also get the one of, "I don't trust new brands, I like to stick to major automakers like toyota" (so I show them under the hood)

As for those who need comparison:

I pulled in to the neighbourhood Jiffy Lube a couple of weeks ago, and the grunt in the pit below yells out, "We don't got no filters for no toasters!". Yeah, yeah - now go brush your three teeth and finish watching your NASCAR race, Billy-Joe-Bob...

My wife calls it "The Toaster" - though its growing on her.

My brother-in-law calls it "The Garbage Truck".

I met an old friend of mine for lunch a couple of weeks ago, and she said, "They're kinda creepy - they remind me of those gangster cars from the 1930s."

Sorry guys, I just lovingly call mine "The Box".

SCIONOSIS

I remember seeing one on here painted like those U.S mail trucks.

I also seen those yellow release editions as a taxi cab in Chicago.

From a chic I used to date... "Is there a vacuum and electric blanket in your brave little toaster."

Oh man, that chic is dead to me.
