I don't see how a man could be caught dead in one of those cars. There is a guy at work with an xB and we give him all kinds of ****. He was telling us it had some power on the freeway too 
Then we showed him that it had 108hp.

How does this happen? Has anyone taken any Toyota ads and marketing and played them backwards? 
Something just not rational about this Toyota movement.Or is it the vast majority of us are followers and can't make a rational decision to save our a$$es if we had to?

I took in on trade an '06 Scion xB "Release 2.0 Edition" (no, I'm not kidding...they called it that...) with a factory installed turbo. It was lime green, with hubcaps...but at least it had TV screens in the back headrests. All factory...
Now, when I've test driven customer's trade ins, I've driven some pretty bad cars. Wranglers with holes rotted in the floors. Festivas. Saabs that had neither 3rd nor 4th gear.
But the ONLY car in which I was LAUGHED at was the Scion. Two really, really cute girls were waiting to cross the street...I stopped to let them go...and they laughed at me in that ugly green beast...
Can't say I blame them. I've never, ever wanted to end a test of a customer's car so quickly in my life...

The old xb actually looks good when compared to the new xB.
The front ends of the new xB and Xc give 'blunt' a new definition and I have a feeling a year or two from now we are all going to be quite sick of that type of front-end treatment (if we're not already).
Damn- New GM cars look GREAT, don't they? When you compare Saturn Astra's to Toyota's new Scions there's now doubt GM can beat Toyota in the entry-level hatchback market when it comes to styling.

While Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, etc extoled it's virtues and talked about how wonderful it was. I remember that.
