I know a lotof this has been said before, and a lot of us know these things already, but I wanted to some f my thoughts into words.
First off, I love my car. I think the xB is so unique in it's appearance, driveablity, and coolness factor, that I have to say, at least tome, it's almost like owning an exotic car, especially after dropping it and getting aftermarket wheels and other mods.
A lot of people (and magazines!) compare it to the likes of the Honda Element, the HHR, etc...but I like to think, at least in America, that it is in a class by itself.
It's funny, because the first time I saw one on the road, I thought..."hmmmmmmm.....it looks like a mini-Astrovan..." Still kinda does! lol!
For a cubical-looking car, what I like about the shape is that it is correct in all it's porportions. Other jdm "k-car" class cars really look like they are really really small, with the short front ends and stuff, but the xB looks just right. And yes, though it may be a small car, it actually has a lot of room and is comfortable, even for a 250 lb. guy like me.
Yes, I do wish that it cam with more power...200 hp and 200 lb/ft torque would be very cool....but it's not that big a deal at the end of the day.
And let's face it...it is highly customizable and can be personalized to the extreme. Whether it be sporty or vip-style, all is possible and they all look pretty good in all guises!
The cost of entry isn't too bad either. Relatively inexpensive car with high quality!!!!!!!1
That's all! I'll post some pics as soon as the sun comes out!
