the thing is cheap, and its kinda cool, comes with a nice warranty
as well.
some people need a car for work/school and want the
piece of mind of a new car. I think its cool for less then $15,000
all the options are part of the Scion expierence, Toyota dealers
have a whole sepearate section just for scions, its meant to attract
younger drivers to Toyota.
as well.

from reviews i've read, it handles better than the element, has more interior room, gets better gas milage, etc.
personally, if i saw it in person, i would give it a double take and smile. it's an interesting car, might be cool to have. i would never buy one, i'd want more power and better looks. but still, kind of neat, cheap vehicle that you can carry your friends around in and still personalize with toyota-supported mods.

yea you are right for the most part, but my only point is that it's a intake, exhuast, and suspension on a caravan, not a miata which is already labeled a sports car...
caravan = crappy soccer mom's vehicle
xB = sweet teenager / college kid's ride
soccer mom's dont waste money on mods, the spend it on dipers, soccer *****, and schin guards.
teenagers waste money on mods, because it's something to talk about / look cool / waste money on.
as a result, toyota is smart for having these kind of options, and i wish other car companies would do the same.
with most cars, the only options you get are floor mats, mud flaps, bug deflectors, cargo nets, etc. at least with this car you something cooler, younger, and more worth spending money on.
