The accessories may make the Scion look better, but to me they just emphasize how slow this poseur car is.
 The interior is huge. Very relaxing, its going to be fun driving that machine. The sale price is very tempting and exterior color is very hypnotic.
 @ Jared smith the xB has far more interior space than the Nissan Cube. If you look up the interior volume rates you’ll see that there is no comparison.
 Sweet. Well, I wonder if Scion Racing could also make this a drift car. I mean they make a lot of cool Scion cars spin around in circuits and even Tanner Foust drifted in Mulholland Drive’s using a Scion ride. It was a pretty neat video BTW. Y’all should check it out.
It’s a great car for what it’s supposed to be: a practical, reliable and fun vehicle aimed at college kids, but for anyone over age 30 it seems a little unsophisticated.
 This car looks pretty good to me, I really like the interior stuff on there, & the rear lights actually looks a bit better than it’s previous version even if it looks a bit similar. Great work Scion team!
