Hey! I resemble that remark! I'm waiting on delivery of mine from the port now. Had to chase one down to see what it was the first time. Very cool car...... I happen to classify as a senior citzen, however, I do skydive & ride a motorcycle every day, so us Ol farts might not always be ready for the rockin' chair (town car) yet. I only put a couple thousand miles a year on my car, about 25,000 on the bike...... Just try to keep up with me!!!!! :D

I was saying what did that person do? Trade it in for a BMW 760Li???? I just walked away laughing. I am starting to think that there are more older people driving xBs then us youngns. NO OFFENSE TO THE OLDER HERE ON SCION LIFE!!!!!

Let me explain it to all the younger folks. My Dad always said: "Don't be in a hurry to grow up, one day all of this will be yours and you won't want it either."
I'm a week one buyer [June 04, in fact the first one off the lot], over 55+, and own one bad ___ bB. I bought because it was different, had unique design possibilities, and frankly didn't look like everyone else on the market.
I know the demographics that Toyota was aiming for and that's the son's of ....., SCION. But the truth is they unknowingly tapped a larger audience than they expected. Toyota also thought the xA would out sell the xB by four to one. oops, they were wrong on that one too.
Price, economy and style in one vehicle is a good idea no matter what your age.

Oh heaven forbid that these people are older...

What does that mean?? This is a car not a high school prom where if you were 19+ you would look silly at.

After all its still a toyota.

Better question should be...What mods do you have on your car and how old you are?

So list your mods and how old you are, we'll determine who has a better ride.

Exactly... we have eternity to be dead and less than 100 years to live. So spend what time you have living not dying. Frig the age stereotypes. I think Mick Jagger will be still writing and performing well into his 70's. Live on baby. I'll listen in my xB.
