hey guys there is a "legally" imported scion xb in calgary.... the guy who brought it in had to change a couple of things in order to keep it.. however he also customixed the ride to his likings.. he repainted the entire vehicle.. they did an amazing job including all of the doors and engine bay.. the xb has a full lip kit. he also recovered all of the entirior with custom 2 tone leather. the entertainment system go a huge boost with a retractable indash cd/dvd player screen and screens in the back of each headrest as well as a 12' sub in the back and a hidden amp.. the car is riding on custom but kinda small rims and is a limish green color....

this is a pretty cool car and ive never seen one before... i will get pics up ASAP, i just have to get them off my neighbour..

The tC is pretty much a 16k Mercedes. Glass roof, leather interior, heated seats, remote entry... all BASE and not even options!:eek:

And comes stock with 105HP. Wheee!

Slow as hell, the only reason people buy it is for looks. It is a unique car.

That thing looks like it's got a massive infection on it's chin.

It's original alright, the wheels are dope, but the rest is ghey!

Meh....it's not my thing at all. It's a box on wheels..literally. It's unique and eyecatching I agree to that, but I do not like it's styling at all. Sorta like a badly modified Sunfire or Civic with ugly graphics and big wings. Eyecatching yes. Unique yes. Do I like it...no.

those four spoke rims are ridiculously pimp. anyone know what brand they are? perhaps where i can find them? looks like custom offsets and widths to me.

Those rims remind me of the rare old Radar rims for the air cooled VWs

Figures :rolleyes:.


Man go back to cardomain and find another fake car... xB is nice, but it is far from something to drool over... Personal preference I guess.

I dunno if it's just me not being a ricer but aren't those the fugliest damn cars out! No offense to anyone who likes em cuz everyone has their own taste but i think that Scion's cars were designed by a crackhead for a crackhead, i juss don't see how ppl can find a box on 14's pimp!? I'll give a Civic props when it's nicely done up or any other import for that matter, but this Scion BS has to go... :barf:

Yegads... that's gotta be a hop, skip, and a jump straight over the FUGLY line. Eeeew.

It's like a cross between a Honda Element and that terrible looking Fiat van. (sorry, can't remember what it's called)

On the other hand, you could give it that "Ghetto Chic" by setting it on fire or something...:nut:

With some wheels and a lip kit or a body kit, I think the xB's look tight.. I saw a lip kit that not many people have on their cars..

No matter what you do to an xB you can't make it look like anything more than a shiny box. it reminds me of a mini Astro van. i personally think they are ugly, not to step on any toes. I honestly have seen just as many senior citizens driving them as kids!

Anyway, besides their horrible styling, they're nothing special inside and sound weak as hell! If you're gonna throw your money away on hooking up a car, get one with more than an inline four putting out 105 hp!! And dont say they have good gas mileage. From every review ive seen, that 30 something mpg rating turns out to be more like 30. My Jetta VR6 can push 30 mpg!! and thats a V6 with 175 hp!

Im sorry, but everytime i see this car, i wanna throw up.

I'm pretty sure I saw it yesterday going west on Bow Trail just past old Banff coach road. Thought it was an element at first :)
Looked good from the other side of the road.
