SMOKED by a SCION Xb!!!

Was coming home from Santa Ana to LA on I-5... Was in my modded 2.2... then.. all of sudden this SCION Xb pulled up to my side... i was like WTF this thing wanna race... so i thought I'll show him some Honda 2.2 VTEC power....

then DAMN~ that thing took off on me from 60mph to 100mph like i was on bicycle!!! FAH~ looked up the spec and that thing only has 108hp stock... so... what are the mods for those things...?? those things FLY modded!!

Given that they are cheap as hell, you can dump 10k into them.

I might end up getting a tC when they come out. They actually look like normal cars, and if they are as cheep and have as many options as the xA/xB then i'm deffinetly gonna pick one up.

I don't understand why ppl thinks the Xb is ugly!? I actually thought it looks kinda cute.... I would actually prefer one of these supercharged over the mini cooper or the Xa!

He said toaster!

I think you got clowned underestimating any vehicle nowadays. I trust nothing - you guys may not remember, but the even turbo'ed a 3 cylinder Geo Metro/Suzuki Swift. Not the fastest thing in the world, but it would wake up the average joe.
