I have been browsing for a new car for myself and possibly even my mom as her 00 Altima is getting older and older- still looking good thou....

New Scion xD- replaces the xA
1.8L 128HP 5spd or 4spd AUTO.

Im liking both of them.... hopefully pricing is not going to go up much from the current xA and xB.

I'd be concerned of the seemingly huge blind spots from those C pillars.
and the xD front end looks kinda Mazdaish to me

The XB looks so much better. Im liking the dual's coming out the back. The XD looks so damm agressive.

I don't see a problem with the blind spots.... I've driven the Murano and new MDX and I don't see a problem with em.

Both of these cars are modified using Scion optional accessories... normal versions look plane jane.

I doubt TE37s are options..... the color is custom on both modified cars too. I am lovn the gold version of that modified xB.

^Do what you want when you have a house and wife as well. If its bling, then its bling. Dont let a woman change that shit.

I like fuel efficient gas sippers.... I been talking with Greg online about buying myself a Yaris 3 door or even a Scion over last few weeks. Yaris can get 45MPG in real world driving at 70MPH on the highway. xB is not aerodynamic enough and gets stuck doing 32MPG or so on the highway, where the xA gets almost 40.

I loved the orignal xB, the new one is a must see for me next week- at the auto show.

I guess I'm just more fussy about blind spots.
