:confused: You guy's are just getting it now? It's been out for 3 years (only one year less than the Yaris has been out). It's already going to be replaced soon.

Well, not 2011. So far, 2008-2010.

It's been here for a while, and I have to say it's great improvement over the 1st gen xB. It finally doesn't look like an outdated early 90's design.

Does Australia have the Scion xD (would be called the Toyota Ist or Urban Cruiser there)? This has also been out for 3 years in the US.

Actually no. It's 2011. Look at the revised and updated bumpers. That's a 2011 xB/Rukus/Rumion.

Yup just getting it now. No Scions in Australia. This is a new car on the market here.

No Scions, Ist or Urban Cruiser in Austalia. This is a brand new car for sale here.

Well, you got the first half of that right! Fugly? Yes! Cool? Nawwwww... :thumbdown:

I sat in an xB once, made my Jeep Wrangler feel round in comparison!

And the xD shares the same platform as the Yaris!

Cheers! M2

[Yaris Hilton]

Yeah, they are fugly, no doubt.

No, it's an '011. It has a new front end, as well has "regular" backup lights, instead of the cool single bumper lamp.

The xB is a great value and a good bang-for-the-buck. However, it's gotten lost in the shuffle now that's it's so mainstream. I'd rock a Cube before one of these.

^ I never understood how one reverse light is soooo cool. The Thai market version of the Yaris has only one reverse light (on the left) and a rear fog lamp on the right. The rear fog lamp is cool and all, but it's just plain retarded to have one reverse light. . . not cool! I don't understand what's so cool about not letting people on your right side know you are backing up. I don't understand what would be so cool if you hit somebody or somebody hit you backing out of a driveway or a parking space.

It's done this way in some countries because a rear fog light is legally required, and rather than add lights, they just switch some wiring and remove a reverse light, ie Corolla. It's one of the things that REALLY annoys the hell out of me with the Yaris (in this market).

RS lights, Sid, RS lights... :D
