  Scion xB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The xB was one of two models in the lineup of Toyota's US-exclusive Scion division present at the brand's 2004 launch (the other was the xA, based on the Toyota ist).
The Scion xB's marketing is aimed at Generation Y, Americans born in 1978 or later.
Although Toyota expected the xA to sell better than the xB, the reverse proved to be true, with the xB outselling its brother 2 to 1, possibly due to the xB's distinctive styling, and the xB's unique combination of van-like cargo and passenger space with a very compact size.

 Scion (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scion is a United States-only division of Japanese Toyota Motor Corporation founded in 2003.
Scion's long-term goal is to appeal to Generation Y consumers, expected to dwarf the market size of Generation X by 2020.
Scion grew from Toyota Project Genesis, a failed effort to bring younger buyers to the Toyota marque in the United States.

Scion is a Toyota sub-brand, low-priced and oddly styled to attract young buyers that Toyota doesn't because of its old-fogy image.
The Scion xB is a great poke in the eye of the faux fashion-conscious and high-price crowds and deserves a medal for that gesture alone.
Scion xB is 155.3 inches long, 64.6 inches tall, 66.5 inches wide on a 98.4-inch wheelbase.

The xB is geared very short, which probably contributes a great deal to its surprising quickness around town--but this tuning works against it on the freeway.
The xB was a maneuverable and responsive handler, but it couldn't completely disguise the fact that this is, after all, a tall and narrow car.
Scion is probably hoping that the younger buyers this car targets will just find the stiffness and noise more exciting, but I fall into the targeted age range, and I wasn't thrilled--a ride this stiff should be accompanied by razor-sharp handling, and the Scion isn't quite there yet.

 2005 Scion xB Reviews - ForbesAutos.com
The third Scion, the tC coupe, is unique to Scion, but much of it comes out of Toyota's worldwide parts bin, such as the platform from the Avensis, a model made in the U.K., and 4-cylinder motor from the Toyota Camry.
Scion is making heavy use of non-traditional marketing, such as public test-drive events and small venue concerts.
The Scion experiment seems to be working: the median age of a Scion buyer is 35 versus 47 for Toyota.

Some 32,000 of the boxier Scions have been sold so far this year (as of the end of July, 2005), demonstrating that there are a lot of people out there interested in expressing their youthful individuality without resorting to the traditional cheap coupe or compact pickup.
The appeal of the xB to most buyers is clearly the looks, which are about as outlandish as you're going to find anywhere, and the fact that at $14,395 you've got low repayments and lots of cash left over to splash out on individualizing your xB.
If it were truly a "Special Edition" Scion would add proper sporting modifications or a decent appearance package for a few hundred less than the off-the-shelf price which would have buyers climbing over each other to get their hands on one.

 2004 Scion xB - Review / Road Test
Next to the two cars Toyota expects the Scion to go head to head with, the Honda Civic and the VW Golf, the Scion xB leads in virtually every passenger compartment measurement, and generally not by small amounts.
Thus, perhaps the most remarkable impression from driving the Scion xB was the lack of turning heads drawn by the stand-out body style.
In any case, the Scion xB is a Toyota, indicating the potential of many years of trouble-free, squeak-free ownership.

As of now, the Scion brand is in only 23 states, so some of you may be wondering what all the fuss is about.
Like all children, the Scion has an aire of rebelliousness to it, but its Toyota heritage (think reliability and quality) is passed on as well.

 2006 Scion xB Review - ForbesAutos.com
The Scion xB remains one of the most unique-looking vehicles around.
It may seem underpowered, but the xB is still a Toyota at heart — despite the fact that the company probably prefers to keep such ties under wraps, lest it alienate finicky, hip urban dwellers.
The xB is also one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the market, with Environmental Protection Agency estimates of 31 miles per gallon for city driving and 35 mpg on the highway.

Scions are sold through Toyota dealers, which carry numerous factory-approved accessories, including larger alloy wheels to replace the xB's standard 15-inch steel wheels.
If all this proves out, Scion would have a bigger box than archrival Nissan, which is expected to bring in a new version of its aptly named Cube compact wagon for 2008 or '09.

 TomTom's Scion xB Site - Intro
Scion is a marque of the Toyota Motor Company, much as Chevrolet is a division of General Motors.
Therefore, the xB is really a Toyota and in fact uses drivetrain components from their Echo model.
There are presently just three vehicles in the Scion lineup: the tC, a peppy 2-door sports car; the xA, which is a rakishly-styled hatchback; and the xB that does its best to defy description.

 Scion xB News
Toyota's strategy of marketing the Scion to the Generation Y crowd -- those born after 1977 -- appears to be working, according to the company.
Scion will redesign its tC and xA vehicles to follow the popular xB's boxy design language, according to Automotive News.
Despite sales numbers indicating folks in their golden years are snapping up cars like the Scion, Toyota's entry-level threesome of the xA, xB, and xC are still branding thesmelves for the whipper-snappers.

The xB had traveled almost all the way across the continent by this point, but had a mere 18 miles on it when it was stripped down and work began to turn it into a full custom machine.
Since the xB is a unibody, putting the front of the vehicle on an air-ride suspension was an interesting task.
Since the interior of the xB was completely blown apart for work, the interior panels were smoothed out and readied for paint at the same time that the body was being shaved.

 2004 Scion XB - Featured Cars - Car Audio Magazine
Just as Lexus was created to target the luxury-minded consumer, the Scion brand targets the more price-conscious buyer by offering many features typically found only in their big dollar counterparts at a fraction of the price.
While the Scion's factory audio equipment is far better than what is typically offered in "affordable" vehicles, Pioneer had much bigger plans for the 2004 xB you see on these pages.
The sub enclosure and all exposed panels were either trimmed in gray and fl vinyl or painted in the same shades to match the interior of the vehicle.

 Honda Element Vs. Scion xB - Forbes.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The first models, the xA and xB compacts, were not available in New York until early last year.
While Scion is still slowing building volume (the company recently added a third model, the $16,000 tC coupe), the Element started with a bang and then cooled off a bit, slowing to 55,000 American sales in the first 11 months of 2004 from 63,000 in the same period in 2003.
The xB accounted for about half of Scion's sales through the end of November last year, while the xA and tC each made for 25% of 2004 Scion sales in the U.S. Previous efforts on Toyota's behalf to reach younger buyers have been less encouraging.
