what do you think of 1st gen scion xb?

they have a ton of room inside, i'd rock one, decent gas mileage also
to bad it's shaped like a box and not something more aerodynamic or it would probably get another 4-5mpg hah!
 
i used to really like em when they first debuted but now they don't really do anything for me.

Id def use it as a company vehicle though, wrap it in graphics and be done.

How does it have good gas mileage? 24mpg nowadays isn't really a whole lot. It's actually worse than what it should be given that it's anemic and has a small motor.
Not to mention it looks like a refrigerator on wheels. Ugly.
 
For some reason I have always liked the box shape of the first-gen xB's. I keep thinking it would be fun to throw an LS3 in one with accompanying drivetrain upgrades. That would surprise a few people.

I used to hate it, but they've grown on me. Certainly much better than the 2nd gen.

front is the main thing that would keep me from owning one too. i wonder if theres a way to "roll pan" that front without losing much structure?

hmm that's odd, most of the people on the scion forums get anywhere from 28-32mpg

and 24 would be good for me, better than the 16 or so i get now also

My Buddie hasn't had a tank below 30mpg in the year He's had his.
 
looks better than the cube.

but on a non-aestetic basis, the cube is a great fucking car. xB, meh. reliable, at least.

edit: clicked links; actually, nevermind. i forgot the first gen was a cardboard box with a bubba gump lip. newer one is a lot better.

This. I believe the EPA city was 30mpg for them. I'm a fan of small boxes, the most rational form of everyday transpo out there in terms of efficiency and utility. This is why I've always had either a VW van (back in the day) or a Nissan or Toyota or Honda wagon in my driveway.

That said, the people that hate them seem to hate them with a rare and burning passion, like that innocent little box fucked their wife and killed their dog or something. D:
