I heard a rumor @ Exposed that there will be a JDM version of the xB2. That sure looks like it could be it..

This is crazy i wonder if you can get this kit that would be awesome.

It also seems as if it has a sunroof. Look closely on the roof and you'll see some type of black figure. By the way anyone out there considering adding a sunroof to the xB2?

In checking out emptystreets link I found this:
Corolla Rumion
You need to click on "Corolla Rumion" in the left side bar of the linked page.

It looks like this car will be announced officially October 9th.

Interesting differences on the Rumion.
It appears it will be available with 1.5L and 1.8L engine.
It has a different rear bumper cover with reflectors and the back up lights built into the taillights.

It also has a different wing.

It may have HID's on the 1.8L.

Quote:

The discharge headlight standard is equipped in 1.8 liter car

Says it will have a recline function on the rear seat.

Quote:

As for the rear seat which has the sufficient leg space, tilt function of maximum of 6 degrees is attached.

The console is different and it looks like there is a fold down center arm rest in the rear seat back.

Definitely some possibilities for future mods with parts from the JDM version. That bumper cover should be a direct fit I would think. I hope everybody changes to that one so my single backup light is unique. LOL
As they said in the article (as translated by Google):

as for being the rather attractive car you are not wrong.
