I stopped by the dealer when they got their first shipment in. They have a special black model that was slick. I like it. Got my latest Car & Driver in the mail today......just a little short editorial about how bad it was - squirrel-e on the highway, sllow acceleration, not run of the mill styling. Everything they said about it makes me more interested in it since it was very close to what they said about the Smart.

I also like the Kia Soul - talked my wifes co-worker into getting one of those. She had already wanted it well beforehand, I just talked her through the car dealer negotiation tactics - saved her $2k off of what she was about to pay!

The Xb Gen I I liked, not so much Gen II. What the heck was Toyota thinking when they redesigned it??

yeah i had the first gen xb too,sold it to buy the 2nd gen,boy o i miss the first one,this one is too plain,better engine in this one,but im gonna trade it in for the cube. I love when people say what a ugly car makes me want to get it more,everyone at my job said the smart was the worst looking,i went out that week and bought a orpan,had my name on the reserve list for a basic one,went to go pick it up and the dealer told me that some one backed out on a cabrio,didnt like it at first but my wife loved it----so u know how that goes,lol.---so i think i will get the new cube and deck it out like my first scion xb,tv's nav,rims the whole nine,my son and i enjoy going to car shows to lose,there is always someone that goes a step further.-----i tried to put the pic of my old xb on here,but im not too good with computers--- www.homegrownperformance.com but u can go here to see it under customer rides,old pic,this xb had three diff sets of rims on it before i sold it,lol,my wife wanted to kill me

This is my friend's "chaulk board".

It's still curing, but soon we'll see the writing on the wall...

Sold the smart and got the cube. Love the room, more features for less price than the smart, and lots of room and unique look.

10 Miles less per mile

If I was replacing my larger family car right now, I would get the Cube. It gets the same MPG as the Versa

Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Body style: Sedan
Starting price:$49,475
Feature for older drivers: Drowsy-driving alarm WT...





But seriously, the cube (Cube?) is the only one under 20K and one of 2 under 25K, so at 15K it's in a totally different market than the rest.

Thanks for the link, Bum-B. Didja get your copy of AARP magazine today?
