Can we keep this on topic. There are already 5 billion posts/threads on unintended acceleration and recall issues. You guys will never convince the otherside. . . true or false, shift to neutral; you really shouldn't be driving if you don't know how to do that. End of story. Can we move on?

Sciond

agreed especially the part about them not driving..back on topic
funny thing there has been no talk of replacing the XB2 yet and the3 years are up....

Because losing face is the worst thing that can happen to someone in Asia. Therefore, people and companies try to prevent that as much as possible. It's not America, where the concept of shame is nonexistent.

i thought the magic number was 5 years. this thing has to look exactly like a Rumion before they kill it off

Scion promised us 3 and out when they launched the product for every vehicle...

Some of the early 4th generation Z28 Camaros had run away issues too. One of the bushings in the head of the throttle body would fail and the blades would fall open going WOT.

I was so jealous when I found out the bB came with an AWD drivetrain

Tomas

Yeah, but the original Toyota bB (Japanese Domestic Market Scion xB) only offered the 1.5L engine in 2WD - the 4WD was 1.3L...

The current Toyota bB (Materia/COO/DEX) does offer AWD with the 1.5, so it could actually be a viable option in the US market.

First we would have to convince them to import ANY version of it, though.

I wish they would make an AWD version with a 1.8L engine, in a bB/Materia body. Wouldn't that be great?

Tomas

I'd pre-order that tomorrow morning...

drviolin

Me too.Meanwhile, even the Materia is not so easy to get, as not every country in Europe has them. This is why I think I am going to try to keep my xB for as long as possible. There will never be another one like it.

Sciond

you would be second behind me

Tomas

Only because you get up earlier!

Sciond

lol east coast ftw

drviolin

And this is why the xB2 is not selling well!

Scion needs to start advertising in more conventional channels. Our compeitors are.
The forums all seem to want a $10,000 rwd drift car. The rest of the world wants an suv.

JDMJim

so we get a mini toyota....

An aside...did anyone see the Giant Robot xB? It's in the current Giant Robot issue, and was shown on LA Times.

Tomas

Being a non-gamer, the entire concept makes no sense, BUT the execution and quality of the work is excellent! Looks good.

The XB2 is far more Superior than the Xb1 except for people who live in cities and the ones that drive less than 10,000 miles a year. I personally will never buy an XB1. I like knowing that when I want to pass someone and I put the pedal to the floor there is going to be enough power to deliver.... I personally think a big problem with Scion's sales now are their pure pricing. Just out of curiosity have any of you seen what happens to a Kia in a car accident? I will put it this way there isn't much left of it.....
