Don't mean to be argumentative, but what law prevents a company from doing anything like that. As long as all the safety/smog stuff is ok I think they can do what they want. Let me know if there is really a law that says Scion can't change for 2 model years. Thanks.

It's not a law, it's just Toyota's usual cycle. Release car, refresh halfway through life cycle, then redesign/replace. Toyota stated the cycle for Scions would be 4 years.
However, the gen1 xB never got refreshed, so *shrugs*.

i got my 08 XB in May of 07, and I plan on trading it in once the 09 comes out...i'm guessing May. Also depends on the purchasing power/location of the Scion Dealership for early delivery.

It came out so early in 08 because it was a new model and scion hadnt made and xB's in 07 so they needed to fill the gap quick. I think they were first released the last part of april, so i doubt the 09's will be out any sooner then the end of may.

I went to the NY Car Show and I asked 1 of the Scion reps when the 09's were coming out and what changes would they have. He told me that the 09's should be coming out the end of April/begining of May. He said the only real change will be an additional color - a more metallic silver.

That's all he said "a more metallic silver" I guess we have to wait and see what shade of silver. I mainly wanted to know when they would be coming out and if a moonroof would be a factory option. My dealer can put one in but I would feel better if it came from the factory.
