Hi everyone,I just joined last week. I drive a Scion xB, but I've been a fan of Vibes and Matrixes since they came out.Here's a pic of my car:

bud_one is my cousin. he sent me a link to this site last week, so i figured i'd join. the vibe community looks just as supportive as the scion community...that's cool!

It looks real nice in that color. I haven't seen an xB that color around here yet.

we don't even have Scion in Canada. I think it's sport versions of Toyota, isn't it?

I think it's sport versions of Toyota, isn't it?Scion? Sport version? With a 108 hp engine, I'd hardly call it anything sport, my friend! It's a new division of Toyota, North America geared towards the younger generation. According to their studies, kids today think of Toyotas as their mom's car. In Japan, though, they are sold as Toyotas (like Lexus).

That's a pretty sharp looking Scion you got there! I was never a big fan of the xB's (I always wanted an xA but they ended up being too small for what I needed), but they are starting to grow on me. I just don't like them stock, but throw some rims on there and they don't look too bad! Those wheel wells are so small they make your 18's look like 19's or bigger in that pic. At any rate, welcome to the site!

I love Scions. They have been doing a GREAT job marketing them and promoting them. They are so different from anything else.On hte way home Saturday night I was cruising with a group of them; two xa's and two xb's all with wheels, exhaust, neons, the works. Very nice.

I liked the xA at first too, but the lack of interior room (esp. when compared to the xb) turned me off. They do have some really sharp looking body kits out for the xa though...Quote, originally posted by Merzbow »I love Scions. They have been doing a GREAT job marketing them and promoting them.

Welcome to the site. It might not be a really sporty car with 108hp but the accesories for the car is crazy!!
