why? you ricers amaze me

why would anyone consider buying an xB? they are the ugliest, slowest, eyesores on the road today. out of the factory, of course. they're not quite as bad as every other piece of rice on the road. some people are so stupid. please tell me why you would spend any amount of money on these boxes?

What does the domestic car makers offer at anything close to this quality and price,
Believe me, I bought a 97 Oldsmobile aurora, this car was almost $39,000, I spent thousands of dollars trying to keep it running, (if you don't believe me, go look on the aurora thread, see how many problems American cars have and compare it to the japs) I traded this car off with under 100,000 miles on it, and only got 2500 dollars, I was offered as little as $1000.
The car looked perfect, the dealer did not want anything to do with an American car or an Oldsmobile. So you tell me Smartass, why would I buy an over priced, piece of American crape again?

what does ricer have to do with xB??

eh...

it seems to be the same group of people driving them that hang/drive around with all of the ricers

well, if you don't mind buying used, there is a ****load of choices. how bout any truck, or a jeep. they can get you well over 150k miles. if you want performance, how bout any LS1, or even a mustang. you got me there on the price, not many domestics will cost under 20k out the door.if you wouldn't mind though, could you tell me where i said, ever, that you should buy a domestic. i was stating my despise of the xB. there are plenty, PLENTY of cars in the same price range that would be a better car.

xb's are sold at a reasonable price which makes them good for say going to work or to the grocery store. There compact, nimble and have potential. But since the Scion brand is based around Teen's, most teens like the fast and furious cars and soon will start tricking them. Besides, the scion dealership gives a whole heck of alot of options to put on them. Like Subs, clear tails, wheels, etc. It's all good. It's the same way the civic and corolla become such popular cars was the ability to trick them out even though they made great every day commuters.

By "trickin out", I can only assume that you mean making them look f****ng stupid. With cool neons, awesome downforce-producing wings, and poweradders such as carbon fiber shift knobs and performance part stickers. And then put this ridiculous neck-snapping power to the ground through some sweet 14-inch autozone spinners. I just love hearing these mean performance machines whiz by at 11,000 rpm's on the street thinking they just raped me even though I'm slowing down for a turn and still barely getting walked.

oh yea, and what the hell is up with the ricer "fly-by". do y'all actually think you're winning a race by doing this?

hahaha. these guys are great. finally someone expressing so many people's views on you idiots.

IhateScions, please keep your biggoted opinions to yourself and go and play in your US-branded forums, please.


Any more of your crap and you get shown the door.

guess i'm not allowed to share my opinion, if it disagrees with people, and create discussions on a public message board. ok

By "trickin out", I can only assume that you mean making them look f****ng stupid.

I bet you've tricked out something just to waste time. There is nothing wrong with neon, spinners, or fart cans. It just all has to go together and that's what the challenging part of it all is. Picking the right stuff for your car. I'll agree there are retards running around here thinking they're all that with walmart accessories on there car, but that just shows they have no style or horsepower. It's something your just gonna have to ignore and get over it. Let the true import tuners handle this.

lol....this is funny....i being an xb owner knows? first off i have an eclipse gs-t that does an ll in the 1/4 mile and i went and bought the xb and i must say that this car is 10x better than my eclipse or perhaps many other cars out there. now what do you drive that you have to beat on xb's for. noone is coming off in these forums saying that there pullin 10's in a scion or i can beat you for that matter. these are cool cruise cars with potential power. slap on the greddy turbo which is a dsm td04 turbo with je low compressions on there and bet you this will take most cars out there. so if you have a problem keep to yourself seeing as im keeping my mouth shut about usdm's

it seems to be the same group of people driving them that hang/drive around with all of the ricers

Are you a.ka. "ywouldubuyascion" on www.scionforums.com by any chance??? It sure does sound like you since everything written is just like the other message board, but if not, my mistake.

Oh, and btw, I'm not a ricer, I'm a 32yo married, white chick with a daughter and 2 step kids. Why must you stereo type??? This "ice cream truck", "box on wheels", "toaster", or whatever is priced right, saves on gas and has plenty of space for my family. I traded in my '96 Eclipse GS-T for the '05 XB and it was the best purchase I've ever made, though it may not go as fast as my convertible, but that's fine with me. I can't see myself or my husband driving a minivan, we wanted something different and didn't care what other people thought of the XB.

You do have a right to your opinion, just like everyone else here. You have made your point, now go to another board and tell them how much their cars suck. Thanks for stating your opinion.

The new Chevrolet Cobalt SS is light-years ahead of the old Cavailer.

new mustangs are ugly...never a fan of the retro look....

why doesn't anyone close this thread? its completely pointless

the xb is a nice car for the price, sure its a box, and that new limited edition is yellow, which makes it look like a small schoolbus, but hey! like someone said a few posts ago, its a grocery getter, perfect for driving the kids around, its cheap also, i dont get why u related the xb to ricers

new mustangs are ugly...never a fan of the retro look....

as if Scions are gorgeous?

as if Scions are gorgeous?

who said anything about scions?

I only need to say/repeat four simple words that will cancel out all of IhateScions idiocy and hate against scions and the xb those words are as states

gas milage
leg room

enough said? I thought so

7 months later....

Does it really impact your pathetic little life that people buy xBs? I mean I hate how they look too but you dont see me posting stupid topics on message boards. If people buy them, who cares, you dont have to drive it.

You know what I hate more than Scions? Is the people that drive them. Every Scion owner I know seems to be either that try too hard tool box kind of person(who thinks their piece of crap car is the fastest), or those annoying harry potter geeky kids who smell bad. Yep, weird kids and tools seem to be attracted to scions. Have you ever seen those stupid F***en commercials? The kid is like "My scion Xa is customized and fast with a turbo". Yeah, but its not really fast and you drive a F***en station wagon. Idk what do you expect from the company that came out with the car that's logo was "LOOKS" fast. haha I rather have my car logo be "IS" fast.

....wow

I can't see myself or my husband driving a minivan, we wanted something different and didn't care what other people thought of the XB.

"I Drive A Box Because Mini Vans Suck!" :lol:
Yeah the thing is though....you do drive a minivan just under a different name DumbA**....yeah...i bet you thought you were cool for like five minutes huh? I bet your still grieving over the fact that trans am's are lame now.

we've got an internet tough guy on our hands...

the only real complaint I have with my xb is the gearing, at 75 mph I'm doing about 4k rpm, which makes the car sound wound out, if they had put a different gearing in the tranny, and make it run at about 2k at 75 mph, you could easily get 40 mpg

HMMM...I just bought a Xd.....and my pickup truck is faster/quicker than your Mercedes!

I honestly TRIED to find a domestic to buy. Not only were the Toyota offerings better in terms of gas mileage, amenities, styling and reputation of reliability, but the salesman was actually competent! Find THAT at a domestic dealership!:confused:

I LIKE all cars/trucks, the Mustang is about as good in styling and performance as you will ever see, BUT my daily driver MUST get better than advertised mileage AND superior reliability.:rofl:

BTW, I'm 54 years of age and I don;t feel like I was targeted because I was young!:shakehead
