What do you like about 2006 Scion xB? It's a great little vehicle that has nice creature comforts, awesome gas mileage, great visibility, Toyota workmanship, a good ride for a short wheelbase, opens up a lot of room in the garage where the SUV was being parked, one of the best standard sound systems I've ever heard/felt, lots of customizing options to make your xB really your xB. The Torched Penny paint turns heads and gets comments that most other sub-$20k cars just don't!
How would you improve 2006 Scion xB? Do away with the STUPID SCION "PURE PRICING"...Yeah, some pure pricing. One local dealer advertised all 2006 Scions at FACTORY INVOICE in the paper...So I e-mailed all the others in the metro area and told them about it and asked if they also had a "sale" on the xBs...Talk about stirring up a Hornet's Nest! I had dealers COMPETING for my business while trying to stay "within the Scion pricing rules"...Absolutely hilarious!! They were offering "referral checks" as a discount under invoice or to write it up as an "Employee Deal". I actually felt sorry for these dealers who were desperate to move the cars off their lots before the 08 model is announced in a few days, but the STUPID Scion Pricing Policy has their hands completely tied! You would NOT BELIEVE the deal I got on a Series 4.0! Pure Pricing? Yeah, Pure Hell for the Dealers! Introduce competition where none existed and everyone benefits! We never would've paid MSRP for this vehicle...So I hope Scion deep-sixes this STUPID pricing that forces consumers to pay MORE than they should for a commodity...
2006 Scion xB Review: We got the Release Series 4.0 for my wife's commuter car and she LOVES it! I find myself having to run many errands on the weekends just for the head-turning effect this vehicle commands. Wildest paint job ever and twice the MPG her SUV got. Standard Pioneer sound system ROCKS on "feel" setting, and I get out with my ears ringing like I've been to a concert. The kids love it, it hauls nearly anything and has Toyota quality, reliability and resale value built into it...A fine automobile that Detroit couldn't build in 100 years (sadly). Weirdest "feature" is how you can sit straight up in the driver's seat and no matter how hard you try, you couldn't reach the windshield if you tried! Nearly as much leg room in the back as front and headroom is simply unbelievable. You have to see it for yourself to believe it...
