So far I put 200 miles on it this weekend wouldve been more but we got snow and ice Saturday, this thing handles like a Go-Cart! It reminds me of my 82' Prelude but with Head Room, I have enclosed a pic from the car lot, Thats my trade in behind it!

Nice upgrade. Vans are so not in style anymore....unless you have kids and/or you like to shop at Michaels fabric stores all day.

Sweet, keep us posted on how you like it!!!

I like the color, it wont get old... for me silver doesn't get old! you'll wear the car out before you say "you know what I am trading this thing in cause I am tired of this color!"

I'm tired of the silver on my Xterra, and wish I had bought the bright blue one.

Not so fast.

While the aztec was horrible, you could almost argue that some of its hideousness was a result of functionality. Ie, tent in the back, hatchback, etc. But that scion thing, its just horrible for the sake of being horrible. It looks like the Imperial Honda Element.

Wow. You bought the ugliest car ever produced. Congrats!
Someone's never driven a XB, and someone's ignoring the amazing mileage and reliability that Toyotas are famous for. Plus when you're driving it you don't see the outside.

..and thank god for that. If I wanted great mileage, Id get some hybrid hona civic or something, not a toaster on 15s.

30mpg is "amazing" mileage? :think:
My mom drives one and she gets between 30 and 35. That's pretty good considering average milage of cars today is like 21mpg, and the Scion is about as roomy as a small suv that gets 20mpg. Not many cars get above 30mpg and aren't cramped.

I'm not talking relative, here.

30 mpg is marginal, IMO.

Apparently we've already forgotten the days of $3/gal gas. :D

Seems like the rig is so low that a hitch rack will scrape every time you enter or leave a steeply sloped drive to enter a flat street (that is, unless you have a hitch rack that is elevated above the actual hitch position).

I think the xB's are pretty cool. I really don't see what looks so bad, asthetically. I like the square style and interior space, especially headroom.

how long have you had it? did you like the silver in the first place? or was it a toss up between the 2 colors, and the dealer had the silver any you would have had to wait for the blue?

I think I read in a couple of car mags that they may bring them in late 06-07... they had pics and they were pretty sweet!!!
