With the chemicals I carry for work, who worries about the native gases in the car?

Besides, I have an air purifier in the car that eliminates all chemical gases, pollens, dust, molds, mildew, bacteria and viruses so what do I care?

Don't you know that air purifiers emit ozone which is harmfull to your health!

I think the gas I emit myself is probably 10X more toxic! I have people that will back that up.

Makes almost no sense that the xB is listed as a worst offender, yet no mention of the xA despite almost identical interiors.
I figured I'd give a update for the Scion xB. I've had it for almost 3.5 years now and I am alive! Although I think maybe my own gasses nuetralized everything! Get real, they didn't even measure the air quality, just what the material is made of. On a side note I get 32+mpg. I wish they wouldn't publish irrelevant studies to "protect" us, all they do is confuse people and sway markets. But they are just doing their job, which is to do just that.

Those lists contradict themselves. The cobalt and PT have just as much if not more plastic inside than the xb. Exactly how did they come up with the lists? I'm con fuse ed?

I was kidding. Just making fun of all the "reports" that come out from the safety experts.

DON'T BLAME THE BAD SCIENCE! THIS IS THE CAVALOBALT'S ONE AND ONLY CHANCE TO APPEAR AS "NUMBER ONE" IN A "TOP PICKS" LIST!

Why can't you let it have its fifteen minutes of fame?

My sister's trying to buy one of those hideous things. I told her if she actually gets one, my xB's going to beat it up.

If cars are that toxic, so is everything. Why would the furniture and plastics in my home, or at the office, or anywhere not be any worse than in our cars?? This is stupid. Everything is toxic if you want to measure it. I'm sure my xb is whats killing me. Nice one. What they pay them for that study?? Killing me softly with xb...killing me softly
