- NEW!

I assume you mean the Scion xB (or bB in other parts of the world). I am on my second xB. My 2005 was underpowered, but I didn't intend to win any races with it so that was fine with me.
My 2008 is a huge improvement in terms of performance and comfort. I was rather fond of the boxy version, so I was slightly sorry to see the new body style.
Do I like it? Yes. For all intents and purposes it's a Toyota. The VIN # is actually coded for Toyota. Toyotas enjoy a reputation of being well built and reliable.
I can sit back and enjoy a reliable car that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg to insure or in gas. And no car payments :) They are inexpensive. I paid cash.
Sorry, but ugly or not, I am laughing at the people who scrape by paycheck to paycheck but insist on driving a Mercedes.
P.S. Visuals! The first is a 2005 and the second is the 2008 model.

I hate them. Ugly, no power, no style. Honda element looks ugly too so you could say they look alike.

If you're ever hit by a semi in one, it can double as a casket. They'll just finish shaping what's left, and bolt some handles on the side. I might drive one in a small urban area, but, not as a highway vehicle. They are cool looking customized. I'd just be afraid of what would happen in a severe accident.

I see Nissan has just announced another 'box on wheels', the Cube. I don't like these boring looking boxes.

They're horrible.
I wouldn't want to be seen even riding in one.
It has to be one car that has the biggest flaw of them all, lack of design.
Where is the IAT sensor on the Scion TC?

Does the Scion xA have a timing chain?

I live near Toronto in Canada and I can't seem to find any car dealership that sells the Scion TC. Do I have to call each dealership to see if they have it or does it not sell in Canada?

I completely agree. A car is a terrible investment. Just need something to get me from A to B

Hummer people laugh at my Prius, but I laugh when it cost them 70 plus dollars to fill their gas tank.

We've got a Prius too. How funny. Not a good investment is exactly how I see it too OSF.

I was able to get the Prius up over 100 mph and we average about 48 miles per gallon.

Well, ny significant other does drive rather like a turtle, but he gets between 51-54 mpg which is impressive considering the stop and go traffic (mostly stop) around here. 100 mph huh? I had no idea that 78hp could even do that :)
