Wheels.ca Review

I see the The Star - Wheels.ca - just posted a review of the xB.
...But I was fascinated with the boxy xB, which — though apparently inspired by the Toyota Corolla — looks like a cross between an old Austin 7 and a toaster.
I'm not familiar with the style of the Austin 7, so I had to look it up.


Ha, good reference.  Anyway, read the full review here.


Interesting fact:
The fact is, despite all that marketing, the xB appeals to an older crowd. The model’s average buyer is in his or her 40s, much older than Scion’s overall average of 36. In comparison, Toyota’s average buyer is 55.
Guess that makes the xB just about perfect for me ;-).  I'm a bit younger than the average xB buyer, and a bit older than the average Scion buyer.
