2008 Scion xB
Toyota introduced the new Scion xB at Chicago Auto Show this week. The new xB bears strong resemblence to the out going model. It retained the hip, square, urban assault look while adding soft round edges.
The new xB is a much larger car than the previous version; the length grew by 12 inches while the width grew by 3 inches. Cargo capacity has increased by 8 cubic feet. 60/40 split rear seat will be standard.
Biggest news comes from under the hood. The new xB will use the same 2.4 liter engine as the popular tC sports coupe. The 158 horsepower output is 55 more than the old version.
