Look for these on a box near you!

They certainly look like they are straight from the MINI parts bin. I wonder if parts like these are typically sourced from a single vendor for use by numerous manufacturers? I would expect hidden parts (electronics for instance), but exterior bits like this?

What's the claim of Scion having a desgin department?

 

I never liked those cars... I dont know what it is, also could you post the pic you are referring to? it doesnt show up for me

 

Styling is blah but if its a good car I can overlook that, I sat inside them several times, everyhting feels like its going to fall apart, and my legare long enought seat all the way back and my knees were still in the steering wheel and on top of it the prefomance numbers are that of a minivan. Designed for my demographic, yeah, right.

 

 

thanks, haha yeah that looks like it was pulled off a MINI

 

Why is that front bumper so freaking HUGE! The "Deep Dish" doors aren't helping either.

 

the scion xb reminds me of Brain from Pinky and the Brain
I think its the small scrunched up face and the big head

 

I was motoring up I-5 a few weeks ago and saw an xB traveling the other way. Its big bumper had been blue-taped for the road and it had racing and tuner decals all over it! It gave me quite a chuckle!

Some MINI folk put stubby Honda radio antennas on their cars, so it works many ways.

 

From a sports car with far more HP and a Miatia like balance and handling, not a Civic or Odessy. We need antennas that can handle the high speeds

 

Maybe because it's a box with 4 tires...or the fact they lack any type of character or style. One of the fugliest cars ever made.

 

I always thought the Aztec had that distinction

 

I think you hit the nail on the head

 

^^^^^^
Agreed...

 

Agreed...

 

No, that part IS right out of the MINI bin, and is NOT a Scion part. It's kind of like if a MINI owner took a Mercedes SL vent and hacked it into the hood...

 

Look at the bright side. The Scion xA and xB are being discontinued! No more Playskool Car. Just add Weeble-Wobbles!

 

YAY

 

I just listened to whiteroofradio and they said the scion felt like a "brick on wheels"

 

I was hoping Nissan would bring the "Cube" to America. It looks like the Scion xB only boxier, (yes, that is possible ). I liked it.

 

YUCK!!
Gives white rides a bad name.

 

Yeah the "cube" is much better looking.

 

The cube sorta reminds me of the Honda Element

 

The xA is being discontinued, soon to be the xD. The xB is not, just redesigned.
In defense of the xB, it is an "interesting" vehicle, and reasonably priced (fully loaded for about $15,000) plus it hauls alot and has the Toyota quality. I know of several MINI owners that also own xB's - maybe because they are daring to be different anyway?? O.K. - I admit that one resides in my driveway. BUT I plead
"not guilty" to it sporting any MINI parts - and being "stock".
