hey, Yumchah... do you have any links on this? A friend of mine was coming down to the OC from LA and said she saw a hugh billboard with something about a super duper Scion, but the sign went by so fast... (well, she was driving fast), that she didn't get all the details... then she ask ME about it... and I didn't know anything... I've been trying to search online... and haven't found anything

What engine did they swap in? The only way a parallel TT makes sense is if they went to a V-type config, which is what this looks like.

Stick a diamond in a turd and it's still a turd...albeit a shiny one.

Don't get me wrong, the engine work looks great and is impressive, but it's wasted in a car that is ugly.

LOL.. Nah, I understand that most people don't like the xB.

This xB is prett impressive, but they could have done a better job on the rear flares. The front flows really nice compared to the rear.

I suppose the new xB was out in force @ SEMA since it was just released.

You wouldn't believe how much audio gear you can cram into a 1st gen xB.

Holy shit! The "stupidly awesome" factor just went from 0 to a billion.

Also, I hope they put heat jackets on those turbine housings before they run it. They look close enough to the hood to bubble the paint otherwise.

Not that I'm biased or anything. I wished they would have kept the "square" look. I wouldn't mind the extra power though.

why didn't they put the motor from a new IS-F in it. that's good for 400+ hp without messing with S/C or Turbos.
