quick question - will a Scion XB be able to carry a 50" plasma upright in the box?

[The Stigenator]

I bought a 50" plasma last night from BBY but I have a 4 door sedan. I need to bring it home (and the furniture I bought), I need to figure out how to do so.

Will a Scion carry the 50" samsung plasma? I dont know too many people with trucks. My coworkers do have trucks and my office has a truck but I dont want to use that one.

I have a zipcar membership that wll allow me to use a zipcar if it fits with the seat down I will go pick up the local zipcar.

Any idea??? ANybody in the san fernando valley wanna help?

what are the dimensions of the box, IIRC my 50 inch plasma bos was ~36 inches tall

What year? Back in high school a friend of mine had the original xB. We fit about 12 people in that car.

the new XB, I figure 09 or 10.. whatever zipcar has.

I checked the manual online, its 32" with teh stand, so 36 should be about right with the box.

It should fit. Doesn't it have a large cargo area? Can't you remove the rear seats?

Have a 50" Samsung here...without the box the height is 30.25" and the length is 49"

We fit it in the backseat of a 2004 Malibu without the box.

Well I will like to keep it in the box until I am ready to install it. I have to figure out what to do with teh existing showcase / tv combo.

Does the XB seats go down?

If all else fails you can always strap it to the top of the vehicle and hope for the best.

Since no one else has mentioned it, there's something seriously wrong with someone named The Stigenator owning a Scion XB.

Looking at the specs, it looks like it might fit!

IIRC, the local Home Depot charges $19.95 for the first 75 minutes.

FWIW, the box for my 50" Panasonic is just a bit less than 36" tall.
