- thesparrowband, on 10/12/2007, -11/+62they still look stupid
- FreakinSyco, on 10/12/2007, -3/+37Looks like they took a step backwards...
- socalrob, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27Yes that it does. But doesn't the XD look like it has down syndrome?
- NICU, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22I know Scion was Toyota's attempt at marketing to young adults, but they've actually appealed to the older crowd (at least around me). My dad has a 2005 xB and he loves it. There's a ton of interior room, has all the options he wanted, gets amazing gas mileage, and cost under $20,000. You can knock it for its looks, but they're actually useful vehicles.
- otatop, on 10/12/2007, -7/+28Wow, the new xB looks like a minivan. How hip!
- davidsmero, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24***** clown shoes
- DreKor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Toyota just realized that they missed their original target demographic of 20-something club hoppers and, instead, hit the 60-something bingo players with the original Scion line-up. It looks like they're turning the badge into their own version of Buick.
- mrdebonair, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16...and they become uglier!
Scion had a its own style going, should've sticked to it. Newer shapes, sure, but not breaking the boxiness! - madcaesar, on 10/12/2007, -15/+29Those cars are ***** ugly... anyone who thinks that these cars are hot deserves to drive a Ford Fiesta for the rest of his or her life!
- masgrada, on 10/12/2007, -8/+20Whoopdee freakin' doo. This car is so gay.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13TC is the only good looking Scion
- wikk!d, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12yeah, i drive a box. (2005 xB), it's a toaster... i "forgot to take my car out of the box".. etc...
i love it.
it doesn't look like everything else out there - a very unique design. it fits in the compact parking spots very nicely yet has more head / leg room than most cars i've seen. 30 mpg isn't too bad for a fuel only car. my only comment about the new xB is that it's going in the direction of the Toyota FJ Cruiser - not a bad thing, just interesting. - slythfox, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Well, the scion tc is a pretty nice car... Not ugly at all.
- kenvsryu, on 10/12/2007, -13/+22Ugly or not it will be a better car than any ford or chevy.
- xrisnothing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Hey, guess what! They're ***** ugly.
- etx313, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Ewwwww dude. Fugly. This quote from the site basically sums it up...
"angry washing machines" - strictnein, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Or maybe it's Japanese for "Learn grammar"?
- arkive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Nice cars... for me to poop on
- gallardo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10IF ITS FROM CAR AND DRIVER WHY NOT LINK TO THE SOURCE?! Reported as spam.
Why do we need a link to a link? So annyoing.

- rakaur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Around here (St. Louis) it seems Toyota hit their demographic of "idiots that buy crappy cars and make them crappier." There's more of these people running around in Scions than Caprices now. People gloat about how no one has them, but I see them all the time (vertical-opening doors and all). I have an '03 Celica, and I've seen maybe two or three of them since I've owned it, and I park at a public university.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Screw those. I still want a tC.
- merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5My mom's approaching 50, and she loves her '03 xA.
That new xB is gonna be a really nice car for the price, if it stays the same ($15k), even if it looks like crap. There aren't many 4 passenger cars with that kind of power:weight ratio for $15k. - thomas, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7They both suck...
- funnylookinhat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8I guess it's too bad scion cars look freaking ugly and nobody cares about them anymore.
Unless you're one of those silly fools on the commercial that say stuff like "Yea I tricked out my xC ya know it's so hott with the glow lights and all"... We all laugh at you, sorry. ; ) - lamestory, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4god dammit digg is lame - why is this ***** on the front page and why does it link to a god damn blog? this site is degenerating rapidly.
- eexlebots, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Ditto on the Element look-alikeness; the new XB looks like a toned-down version of the bigger box. A lot of people confuse the two when talking about the "car that looks like a box," this will only make people more confused between the two.
- techiemike, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I like Toyota-made vehicles, but those are just too fridge-like.
- evilbeatfarmer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5So it is true, losers do stick together!
- wvdavis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Go see your ophthalmologist.
- alanmarchman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6where did the corners on the xB go? the current version is a sweet ass refrigerator box on wheels. and it made a sweet ass transformer, too. http://tformers.com/reviews.php?op=showcontent&id=656
- Madhattan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4They just shat on the heads of their Tokyo Drift Demographic.
- cycledesign, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The new xB looks a lot like the Element and the new xD looks a lot like the Yaris as someone pointed out earlier. I think going in this more "traditional" direction is going to hurt the Scion brand a lot. I know that it hit an older audience than they intended to but, at least here in Los Angeles, it's still popular with young people and this can only bring it down.
- Arkonnan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Whoever designed that monstrosity should be lined up against the wall next to the guys who designed the Aztec.
- Madhattan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Toyota's are made here too man. It is buying American. I'm pretty sure that they employ more Americans than any other company.
- djdigital, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Very ugly cars.
I was behind a Scion yesterday and there was a sticker on the back that said "You just got passed by a toaster!".
Thought that was pretty funny. - bassfanatik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I am in the "target demographic" for Scion, and I think they make decent cars for the money for people my age just getting started. The tC is pretty cool looking, and the xB is just different. The xB just reminds me of a Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix. These new body styles are horrible looking, especially the "new" xB. There is no back window? Looks like a small, puny version of the FJ Cruiser. Stick with what you have, Toyota, you're doing fine!
- evilbeatfarmer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm right smack in the middle of their demographic I think, and I hate their lame ass cars. Go figure? Now.. that new supra that's coming out..
- pixelminer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I actually own an xB and I have to say the new styling is very disappointing. It looks like a miniature Honda Element. :p And no center mounted display? What are they thinking? I never want to look through my steering wheel to see how fast I'm going again! They've gone and ruined a good thing. For shame.
- Lane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3if i wanted a scion id spray paint a cardboard box silver and duct tape it to my go cart........
- ledpamster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4embargo spelled backwards is o grab me

When wrapping a link in ( ) make sure to leave a space at the end - felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Hang on to your xB. There will never be another one like it again.
- mikochu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4ugliest cars ever.
- elroy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3XB is an emoticon
- aserer511, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Look better, but they're still, non-tC scions....no one wants 'em.
- CodeCobalt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4who cares? Scions are hidieous
- dogshaft, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Why would they make it uglier?
- slickrick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I own a Scion xB but, wow, I didn't know there were so many Scion-haters out there. I'm not enthralled at all by anything Ford, Pontiac but I definitely don't bash it (although I will if you drive a Cavalier or Neon.) I guess all that matters is if you like your car or not. I could do without the xD and the xA but I do like the FJ Cruiser. I'm just fed up with anything state-side—reliability, fuel economy, style—they are trying to catch up to imports and it's ridiculous.
- tungsai, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I bought an xB because I don't give a rat's ass whether other people think my car is ugly or not. I looked strictly at the numbers, and the mileage, and the overall quality, and roomie-ness. Nothing else came close... So I bought one!
Flame me all you want, n00bs!
HA HA HA HA ! -
