The xB really is the center of the Scion universe. Consider: the outgoing xA was really just an econobox that could’ve been sold as a Toyota – and probably more effectively. The successful Scion tC is such a strong and fun value that it would also be a hit with a Toyota badge affixed to its snout, or any other mainstream brand for that matter. The xB, however, is different. Too odd to be mainstream yet mainstream enough to be incredibly useful, the xB immediately appealed to a unique collection of car buyers who were attracted to something different than the standard SUV – yet with all of the practicality. The new model continues on this path, and should be just as successful as the first-generation xB it replaces.
