so i was working today going to my last stop and saw this poor lil xb with 2 bikes in the back and they could even close the hatch. there was only 2 girls in the front and the backs seats were layed down.

I can't believe that thing was actually on my list when I was looking for a car!

Everytime I see an XB I expect to see some clowns getting out.As in 'Barnum and Bailey Circus' clowns :grin:

LOL, My wife and I also call the XB "clown cars" . They look like they should be in a shrinners parade!

The one thing Toyota got right with the entire Scion line is marketing. They made a line of three fugly cars popular with simple advertising and basic dealer bolt on options. Personally ive always thought it looked like a 1984 Toyota Minivan with an elongated front end. Some friends are huge fans of the first gen looks and style with the strong over bite bumper and overly trying to be different gauge layout to the point they are offended when these things are pointed out time and again.

Honda dropped the ball on the Element with the XB being the perfect example of the popularity the E could have had with a proper campaign behind it. Instead they stuck a crab on a stupid comic strip style layout in an attempt to gain attention. Its as if the job of research and final decision for the E marketing was done between 4:45pm and 5:00pm on a Friday.

before a three day weekend!!!

I agree with you 100%. The xA, xB, and xD are not the best looking vehicles
by a long shot!! But the marketing that Toyota did was pure GENIUS!!!

When I see that crab with in the Element ads, all I think is, I hope some
Penicillin will get rid of it!!! :twisted::shock::shock::twisted:

The ever-popular "pinch you?" .

NOBODY sells cars better than Honda. Nobody. That's apparently who was working for them - nobody.

If imitation is suppose to be the most sincere form of flattery, then Toyota should be really flattered!!! This is one of the new 2012 Honda's that was introduced at the Tokyo Auto Show!!!

^^ Wow that is not the best looking vehicle to put it kindly :grin: Maybe strictly a JDM model? Those wheels are 12 "s ? And either the girl is really tall or that is a pretty small car !

It's the exact same size as the XB that it's copying! ;-) For the moment, it's not slated to come to the United states.

I hope it's not the next E !!!

I hope E never dies. Cause that thing is horrible.

I home E never dies. Cause that thing is horrible.


With 2011 being the last year...the "E" is DEAD! This ride is nothing more than a Scion XB clone!!!

I love the Scion Xb and the Nissan Cube too ! :lol:

The Cube is one funky car, if only its interior and drive wasn't absolute crap.
