When Toyota launched the Scion line, as a result of the "Genesis Project," they included three staples of vehicles. These vehicle types were an economical small commuter vehicle and a sport coupe, in-between they chose to try something different and offer the Toyota Scion xB. It was based on the bBX concept vehicle designed in 2003. Not knowing the result of this vehicle launch, They went for it. 5 years later it has created a big stir in the automotive community with its edgy design, both loved and hated. This has resulted in a mass of devoted followers and peaked interest in all who come across one on the road.
- Economic
- Great MPG's
- Easy to work on
- Easy to modify
They started with a first generation model, from 2004-06, and developed into a second generation model, from 2008-present, that addressed some wants from the consumer community, such as a larger motor and rear disc brakes. Some have come to be devoted first gen lovers, and some second gen lovers, but all appreciate both generations for the qualities they contain.
They also addressed a large after market influence that most other imports had been enveloped in for past years. So, in response they developed the xB to be a truly customizable platform. They worked with companies like AEM and TRD to develop dealer accessories like no other manufacturer, and as a result most other aftermarket manufacturers jumped aboard. This has resulted in an evolution in automobile design and production, which we can all enjoy. Whether your needs are horsepower oriented or show or both, the bB definitely has you covered.
