2010 Scion xB

Overview
The Scion xB is an upright, 5-door compact station wagon designed for utility, fuel economy, and versatility. Although the xB is offered only in one body style with one standard engine, this shouldn't be considered a deterrent. Scion dealers offer countless ways for owners to customize their vehicles to their exact liking-this is all part of the buying process. All xB models feature front-wheel drive and a 4-cylinder engine.

History/Genealogy
The Scion xB was introduced in 2004, the same year that the Scion brand-a division of Toyota-was launched. The first-generation model was very boxy, almost looking like a miniature van. The second-generation xB, redesigned for 2008 and sharing platforms with the Toyota Yaris, is a bit softer in the corners and larger than its predecessor, but is still instantly recognizable as a brand sibling (Scion models are designed and marketed for a younger audience, so their styling is more aggressive than traditional Toyota models).

Scion introduced a new Limited Edition xB Release Series 7.0 model for 2010. It includes a 4-piece DAMD body kit, exclusive purple paint, sport muffler, lowered suspension, and unique interior appointments. The infotainment system has also been upgraded across all models.
