Default NEW xB spy shots....

Here is a pic of the new xB in testing. Notice how the back is a lot longer as well as the wheelbase. I think this is closer to a production version than the other spy shot kicking around the forums...

If this is the xB replacement--they are going in the wrong direction. Bigger is NOT better--it is an Astro Van.

I second the astro van comment, also, the front angles look like an element.

I agree with you. The xB that is out now is unique looking, this just looks like a future soccer mom car.

Look at the back wheels, is it just me or are they NOT centered in the wheel wells?

Add another premium membership to the list...

That thing looks terrible. Scion is supposed to be young person brand, hip and cool styling. That thing looks like a van for taking the kids to daycare. That xB-wannabe will destroy Scion's young image if it goes into production.

You have to realize that there is a fabric bag over the car--that is why the wheel looks off center. If they bring this out I would request that the bag stay on it..............

no, look closely, the paper appears to be trimmed around the wheelwells.... I see what you mean on the FRONT wheels, but on the BACK wheels....they just look off...

I second that request.

I like how the t2b and fuse share a unifying look on the front end. I think would be cool if the three new models were to incorporate that.

I was also thinking a roadster might be a good replacement for the xA. after seeing the five axis xA i think something like that would sell a heck of alot better than the current model.

Someone should lose their job because they tell you what color a new car will be? I don't think so. You should thank him for taking enough interest in the Scion community to share new information with us.

Thanks lonestar. I'm in Sales, but also feel like a total consumer as well ( I WANT ONE OF THESE!)... I was asking around for the longest time, and no one knew, so as soon as I found out, I posted!

Let us know when you get any info on the 2008 models. That's what I'm waiting to buy.

Lonestar first of all your in the wrong as well.
CrownScion notice how one of your posts was editted bc you do not have the right nor the privaledge to post what the new Scion xB or whatever it is will actually be called or the color of it. Were all here to see what will happen, and for that shear factor i hope your completely wrong and running your mouth for nothing.

Actually his post was edited b/c he's been spamming it and does not actually have any picture of this supposed RS4.

Until he can prove otherwise, there will be no such posting.
