2008 Scion xB and xD

So, I'm actually interested in seeing how these two will look like.

Debut is in a couple of days in Chicago.

I can honestly say that although I may not be in the market for one, I would like to see how inventive Scion designers are. We all know that, in an engineering aspect, it shared the same chassis as the Echo. Now, there is a possibility that it may perhaps share the same chassis as the Corolla with the 2ZR-FE engine, with optional supercharger (like the 164 hp Corolla XRS). Whatever it is, it seems like Scion is on a roll with econo-boxes for the practical+quirky consumer.

Will it be the same as the Japanese xB? Will the xD be the Auris?

Hopefully, we get to put Official pics up in a couple of days, or maybe earlier if something gets leaked on the net...

Here is the release info:

Quote:

"Scion will stage the world premiere of the second-generation xB and the all-new xD at the 2007 Chicago Auto Show.

The Scion press conference will take place on Thursday, February 8 at 9:00 A.M. CT in the Grand Ballroom in McCormick Place, with a live simulcast to the Scion display area at the show.

A video clip of the Chicago press conference will be available for viewing the following day on the Scion.com website."

I would really like a semi-economical RWD or AWD coupe offering from Toyota/Scion.

That thing up top reminds me of a frog.

The hood of the car reminds me of the underside of a crab. Ugly.

I had that same exact thought. They could take the time to make it light as well.

p.s. just so u note though, those are toyota concepts released ages ago, NOT the xB or xD
