i think with the upgraded stereo on all the scions you get ipod integration - specifically ipod.

too bad they're axing the xB. though the xB's replacement seems like it may be pretty cool, a bit larger, a bit more power, though not as clean looking.

When we went to the Acura dealership to check out my sister's car (the TSX), I found a little gem in the middle compartment. Inside was a power socket and an Aux port. My sister was thrilled when I showed her what it could do.

I found her a nice little power and audio cable in one thingy that plugs into her Nano's dock port and she's been a happy little camper since she didn't have to bother with wires all over the place with a tape adapter.

pretty sure they all have basically the same pioneer system with mp3 compatability as their base units.

the xB seems most popular, at least here in minnesota. it's also one of the few cars i'd consider trading my subaru forester for (mainly for mailage and maintenance).

Eric, Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo. The only Scion worth getting is the tC, and that 's coming from someone whois supposed to be the target generation for the Scions.

I have to agree with StretchR. The only one I'd consider is the tC.

The xA just looks ridiculous with those giant fender flares.

The xB looks like a big breadbox or something. Cars move fast, they should lookk like they can do so (though this one probably can't anyway.)

Both have a very weak motor, thought good gas milage.

With the tC, they really hit the mark with style, price, and power.

eh, the tC is pretty, but it's just like any other 2 door front wheel drive sporty car.

the xB is like how cars should be, smallish on the outside, big on the inside, simple, economical, and it has character.

styling wise, i love it. it's different and utilitarian, same thing i love about the element. it's also got character without just being ugly (like a pontiac aztek or chevy avalanche, or most earlier model saturns).

I'll give you that. The Aztec - What were they thinking??? I still see them on ther road at times and can't help laughing out loud. I bet the driver is cringing.

I can see the charm in the xB, it's just not my cup of tea.

This is my xB its not about going fast any more these days with gas prices more about looking good while your going from point A to B

Those are great photos BoiseAuctioneer! Neat little machine. The xB in its first incarnation was a funky little vehicle. The new one's just fugly.

My sis-in-law bought an xA (an '06 I believe), and I drove it. It's automatic, but it drove fine. Decent little car.
