Xb Baller Boxes Roll Out in LA (http://myimprezawrx.com/video/scionmeet072003.wmv)

You knew we had them first here in Cali, right?  :D  I\'ve seen them all over the place.  Some people think they\'re ghey, but I kinda like them.  The Xb is so purely JDM, it\'s like a glimpse of Japan on an american streetcorner.  JDM can never be ghey.

I live in Cali, so they aren\'t too new to me.            
I think I\'ve decided to hold off on getting one though, I just bought a 27\' sailboat this week, and my bank account is badly bruised.  I still like them though, and can\'t beat them for the money.

I\'ve only seen one here in Tampa.  Saw quite a few of them at the SEMA a year and a half ago.

I like them.  Wouldn\'t own one, but if I were a youngster again it would make a great party car.

Im surprised its gotten the welcome that it has. Ive known this car when it was the bB in Japan but it seems so out of place. Oh well. I guess its a good thing:confused: ?

What a strange looking vehicle!

I saw one up close, I think it\'s cute.  I imagine a boatload of girls coming out of it for some reason.

No self-respecting guy over 22 should be driving one.  It\'s even against the law I think.

Sorry, the link was a little old, and I didn\'t completely test it.  I have the video on my hard drive, so I\'ll try to repost it later tonight.  I may not be worth the effort though.  :yawn:

Rya\'s sister owns one.  I ride in it every other day.  It\'s spacious for a compact car, but it\'s got no kick as it\'s just a V-4.  Great gas mileage though -- 35 in the city, 35 on the highway.

V4 you sure?  I know Toyota is no stranger to unusual engines (they have a 3-cylinder in one of their cars), but a V4 would be a waste.

It\'s an inline four cylinder.  There\'s no reason to build a four cylinder in a V configuration.  It just complicates the rest of the layout too much and makes it too expensive.  Two exhaust headers on 1.5 liter 4?   That would be pointless.  :)

this would be a very interesting car if they threw in a 1.8l Celica GTS engine.
