Default Want more pictures......

Need more picks, I want to see more, need more info, trying to decide which route to go, 08 or to travel another road. I want to know what other company is making kits for this bird. I know scion allowed a few people in to see the car for fitment prior to the chicago show. Would love to see finish product. if you hold the info, please do share.

Yeah--they held a viewing not too far from me, but I never heard who went. All the add ons at the Backstage event were TRD. The thing that helped on the original xB was that it was out in Japan for awhile before it was out here and products were already developed. I would imagine that there would be some ramp up time on this one.......

Local dealer had NOTHING in nautical blue(7 in indigo ink), and the swatch looked like crap because someone flexed it and ruined the clearcoat. Can't even find a decent PICTURE of something in nautical blue, they are all 200X300 thumbnails from 50 feet during a monsoon.

Edit: Just found a couple pics of one in white. The Nautical Blue Metallic is the only holdout. Curses!

Must be a small dealer since the following Toyotas are offered in NBM:
Yaris
RAV4
Sienna
4Runner
Tundra
Pretty amazing if out of 5 models plus the tC they have nothing in NBM.
If that is the case, I suggest you get out of Hicksville.

I generally HATE white on cars, but it looks pretty good!

White is my least favorite of all of the "normal" car colors out there. For some reason, maybe because there is lots of black trim, etc to break up the white, that white xB looks really good to me. Or, more likely, I just really like the way the car looks in general and can't wait to buy one in just about any color (except teal...blech).

Thanks for the pics dude, I don't know what it is but the white does stand out to me. I am starting to like the B, almost ready to get the first one from the port. I hope this one is not like ours where one hit and it is totaled. I should try to call my insur agent and see if that car comes up on their system yet and get a quote. Scion I am still a little ____y that you didn't offer a moonroof. In my taste that is the only thing missing now. Lucky for us both, it is not a deciding factor.

Yes i would give up my first gen for this one. I can work with it. More features than my current model, plus more power, which I am screaming for, Oh hell yeah. Where do I sign?

All the Dark Colors look almost Black in the Chips and the teal is UGHHH!! Looking into White I guess. Blackberry and Nautical Blue are too dark for my liking. Oh well.

Yeah, I got a chance to see a nautical blue Rav 4, and it was just too dark. It was on a cloudy day, but the car was spotless, and just too dark. From 1 ft, the paint was absolutely beautiful, but from further away, it was just like any old blue car.

At this point I am considering White, Silver, or Black unless I see a blue one in the sunlight and it somehow changes my mind. I wish they had a sweet orange metallic like on the Honda Fit or the Eclipse, I think it would suit the car well.
