I finallly got the chance to see and sit in the 2nd gen 'box.. NO THANKYOU!
not even close to what I want.
massive blind spots, way way too high of a "belt line" , seats are just ok, nuttin special, the digital speedo/dash is not worth spit. and rear seat leg room ain't enough.
feels like an Element and a Dodge Magnum got together.then a Susuki took sloopy 2nd's.
just my 1.75 cents worth
I absolutely love the new bB in Japan. I don't see the PT Cruiser comparisons at all, honestly, but that's just me. They basically made the original bB safer. The bench seat with an armrest is divine.
As for the new xB?... well, they listened to the american people, and toyota made a new car. More power, more space. Isn't that why there's an SUV craze in this country? And according to sales reports, SUV sales are coming back, to boot!
