Scion xB
My dad is lookng at a Scion xB for his business, replacing the gas sucking Chevy astro. We test drove it today, not a bad little thing. what? 145bhp, it was an auto, so expecting 110whp or so. but even fully loaded, 4 adults, and a full tank of gas (new salesmen, doesnt know to keep the tank low for test drives, just that much less weight) it was pretty peppy, from being a passenger it felt about like my moms 145bhp Frontier which is manual, but obviously the framed truck will weight more than a unibody, even with 4 adults v just me. either way, if he does get it i will probably get to drive it a good bit working for him...and the 'yota delaership threwi n free tires for life, no questions asked
 ...but i cant waste the fronts too quick...or else my dad will pull the keys to both the scion and my truck out of my hand...i was trying to talk him into joshing hte guy into letting me test drive a supercharged tC like it was my first car, and they actually had one on the lot, awaiting pick up to be shipped to jacksonvill, i asked the guy if i could and he said sure...untill he found out i already had a truck...thanks to my fart mouthed mom... oh well....this thread was useless...but its non specific and a thumbs up for me as far as peformance (and interior room, i had TONS more than my short 5'5'' self could ever use) but they are still ugly and FWD unibodied cars....so...yeah...but if you think they look good or you dont care and you just want something to haul your buddies around in or bang a girl in the back seat (even enough toom on the floor) it is the best deal around...and the MPG is GREAT...31city with an auto...

Re: Scion xB
I'd give up good miliage so I can keep my dignity. And have fun trying to 'waste' the front tires on a FWD Auto like that. Shit, it took me three years to wear down the tires on my Rav4 to the point that i seriously needed them changed. But hey, to each his own, who am I to judge? I just went over to the darkside...

Re: Scion xB
What only 108 hp? That must not be very fast. The car probably weighs somewhere between 2500-3000 lbs. Comparing that to my Honda CRX which only weighs 2000 lbs, and has about the same HP, and I don't consider my Honda anywehre near fast.

Re: Scion xB
i never said it was fast...i siad, as a pasenger, it felt about as peppy as my moms frontier. and they have to be lighter than 2500lbs...they are mostly plastic body, unibody, and small 4cyl block...my truck has a curb weight of 3150 i think. and its all steel, chrome bumpers, seperate chasis, and v6 block...

Re: Scion xB
HAHA!! I always thought that. I'd be like "Ohhh... here comes one of the new Scion type R's - R is for refrigator. It comes fully equipped with the "refriginator" body kit." LoL
