No matter what you do to scion xb, they will never grow on me.

But at least the mods you have done are clean.

Even in japan, they have the same motor, they actually have 1.3 ltr in japan as well, but they also have 4 all wheel drive also there....But there is a swap that can be done, 2004 Corolla Type S motor swap, stright drop in, same mounting points....I have not seen one complete, but one of my friends might do it soon....some other guy that i know has a supra motor and also another scion with a v8 motor.....both projects almost complete....pics and vids will be up when i have them.....

I like the element better because it comes with more power 2.4 liter, awd, disk brakes all the way around, Honda, and I like the interior and exterior better than the xb.

When these things first errupted, I thought it was a stupid trend. But they've grown on me alot now that I've seen enough of them, and they're actually pretty cool if you ask me. It's just the same as people who buy Hummer H2's. Different styling, roomy, bling factor. Performance really has nothing to do with them, it's one of those rides you drive slow in and just look cool .
