motor :up: I think I could forgive the horrible exterior for the 2.4L

I definately like the old one better. The box is what put Scion on the map. You are right, the new xB resembles an Element. The bigger engine is very nice, but I will have to poke around inside the new xB before I make my final decision.

[SpazzySpaz]

I vote for choice 1 I love my box!!!

[ifeldwn02]

i like mine better

[El_Jorge]

1st one.....but did I miss something? Wheres the 2nd pic from?

[Nebster]

No shit...I just got to work and I had no idea. I really want to see it in person before I can make a judgement on it.

[Big-Kokujin]

The new one is cool, but I think i'd rather the old one...I'd have to see in in person too...

[dj short-e]

The new box AND the Xd.. both look like Scion is pulling away from the YOUTH oriented image that they were striving for and that put them on the map.. Somehow I think sales might fall the next few years for Scion if thats the next generation. Just my opinion though. The FUSE might bring them back up if it's not too late by then... 2009

we'll see

[Big-Kokujin]

From the bottom of the windows up, it looks like the new FJ Cruiser

[trinben]

I pick number 1. The new one looks to suvish for me :up:

[Alchemist80]

Theres more than one choice available? All I can see is choice number 1. Then there appears to be an ad for a soccer mom mini van or something under it.

[501scionxb]

1st gen wins

[chrimsonfyre]

Now that I am seeing the models again...and they are not all decked out by
5-axis, I am liking my original box better...I think I will stick with number 1, although the new box has a tC engine in it!!!

[R2thaOG-06xB]

I like the old one WAY better... When you think of Scion you think BOX! Not ELEMENT!!!

[stick_ncp31]

This would look better than the xB 1.0 IMO.

[BunnyBox]

I keep seeing this gold color is that going to be a new color

[wildmannracing]

the more I see the new xB the more I like it.
are leaning to the xb insted of the xd ?

[BunnyBox]

Maybe but then maybe not. i am so confused

[wildmannracing]

i think it looks a little bit like a pt cruser

[scion_xb_guy_05]

i like the old one... the new one looks too much like a reall car... i couldnt see myself tearing that one apart! no fun in it!

[smokeydog001]

Just think of the new one as a tC station wagon! :zzz:

[Tahoepimp]

i didnt think i liked the new one either until i saw it in person and decided to buy one i love it a lot more than my 06 box both great cars but a lot of good refinments to the new one

[mandca]

Same here I had a 06 b and now I have the 08 B I really like the new one better for lots of different reasons Dont knock them till you see it in person Or better yet go drive one you will be a beliver

[Viola000]

I'm still down with the original box over the new one.

[SyntheticDivision]

Old one...

Anything beats the honda element though, one of my least favorite cars

[scionxb.org]

When my grandma from up north asked me about my new "boxy" auto over the phone...she asked if:

It was the one that looked like a refrigerator or a toaster! :rofl:

Maybe Scion will get this going:

Remember the movie "Predator"? Thats exactly what the front end of this car reminds me of. Arnie said it best when he looked at the monster and said "Your one UGLY mother f**ker."

To me, the key elements that made me want to buy a box to begin with have been deleted from this current version.
The visibilty has been decreased with the solid C pillars. The single oversized speedo ON TOP of the dash is gone. The ease of getting in and out of it isn't there any more and not to mention it now looks to SUV-esque.

I was really hoping for something better than this but I guess it only makes the 1st Gen stand out that much more. I hope I can keep mine on the road for the next 20 years
