You probably don't want to do that with a normal floor jack (at least I wouldn't).

I don't know much about the xB2, but with the tC there is specific spot up front by the subframe to use with a standard hydraulic floor jack and on the rear there is what appears to be a tow hook that is used. Both jacking points are pretty much on the center line of the car.

dont jack it in the same spot you'd use the scion jack on. you'll bend the tabs
in the back in between the wheels (excuse my description as i dont know much about car mechanics) there is a stub you can use to lift. its also in the owners manual. same for the front. in between the two front wheels

^^^^x2 on the stubs.

Ironically, I can't get my floor jack under my car, and my factory jack isn't exactly easily accessible...
