Not a great look from my age-ed prospective, and decidedly even more up-scale. Just what every young person needs - a bigger car payment!
The move to a 1.8L I can understand, but a 2.4L - seems to be taking some more economy out of the xB. The Xd looks like it might be closer to the Versa than the Yaris LB.

still don't like the xD, the new xB isn't so bad. i imagine those huge pillars would cause for a massive blind spot while driving. not my cup o' tea. and these scions do look like they're getting much bigger. guess toyota doesnt want scion to compete with the yaris lineup. these look placed between the yaris and corrola/matrix...

I dunno about the xB but the xD is Yaris/Vitz based.

I like the original box better. Maybe this will be our future for motor swaps though.

I think they're much improved, styling-wise, over the older xA and xB models. But the bigger engines will cause the fuel economy to drop, so I definitely wouldn't be interested in one of those.
Toyota just needs to introduce a Sport version of the 3-door Yaris liftback, with more options/accessories but the same thrifty engine. If they made such an animal, that would be my next Yaris in 2011 or so. |

i like the japanese version of the new xb. and the xd um....a bit too big looking comapred to the xa. and engines...o man they better be dropping one of those in the 2008 yaris for US people haha
