After its 2008 redesign, the Scion xB is unchanged for 2009 except for one new color choice. The styling of the Scion-brand vehicles, especially the boxy 2009 Scion xB, is very divisive. "While not quite as right-angled as the first xB, the current model is larger in useful ways...

Other Choices:

Not much has changed for the Chrysler PT Cruiser in nearly a decade, and while that retro-flavored wagon is sorely outdated, it still has design appeal to some and has found a cult following in high-school parking lots. Though the xB is only offered in a single model, the PT still comes with choice of four-cylinder and turbo-four powertrains, plus a convertible model. The Chevrolet HHR takes the same formula and gives it nearly identical powertrains, plus a little crisper styling. The new MINI Cooper Clubman is considerably more expensive than the others, but it has a third half-sized door on the passenger side and cargo doors to make loading and unloading easier. The Clubman also has an on-the-road character that’s a lot sportier, for those who enjoy twisty paths.

    Readers: I own-and love- my 06 Scion. In the view of this owner, I would not take the New Generation xB for free-with 10years worth of petrol! They killed the MPG(I get 38mpg on the highway, with my 06). Then they cut down the roof, and removed two rear quarter windows. That darkens the interior, and looses some visibility. And why, pray, only one back up light? If they want to improve it, make the center instrument cluster gimbled; better front seats, more steering wheel positions, but leave the basic alone. That was the success of the Old VW Beetle. Once they compromized that, the Bug went away; to return as a "Speedy Gonzales" Bug, and the death of the true VW Beetle. Wake Up Toyota!you had a good thing going; with the New Generation xB you will have a 'dust catcher' on the showroom floor.
