It's a new brand that's owned by Toyota, in the US at least. Scion is to toyota as Lexus is to toyota.

If you had gotten it in yellow you could be saying "I don't ride the short bus to school, I DRIVE it!"

j/k :D

Congrats on your purchase. I hope it serves you well.

Seriously, the attention you're getting is kinda like the attention you'd get when you walk out of the restroom at a 5-star restaurant with a big urine stain on the front of your pants and toilet paper stuck to your a$$.

LMAO. :D I am happy for you, I really am, but that is the ugliest thing I've ever seen, yet I feel the need to ask you for a ride in it. LOL :D

Congrats.

I'm trying to decide which is uglier to me:

xB
Aztec
Element


So far it's a close race between all 3.

That shifter just looks so wrong in that car...but everything else looks right (love the funky centermount gauge cluster.) Did you get yours with da Pioneer sound?? What sort of aftermarket plans do you have for your Scion??? You know you're not allowed to buy an xB without making lots of mods to it...right?

the aztec looks the ugliest by far..those other two are ok....i actually like the element's styling...


anyways beauty is in the eye of the beholder hehehehe

i've grown into the design of the xB..it's alright....

but congrats on a new car duuuude!
