Thumbs up Sighting: Toyota Scion xB

I don't know if anybody has seen one on the road yet. I thought they were not being released here for a while yet. I just saw a white xB, the box looking one.

I'm sure some people will love it and some will hate on it, but I thought it looked pretty damn cool. This one was already lowered, had 18' wheels, spoiler and dark tinted windows.

If it has been seen around before, sorry for the double.

Does anyone know how fast it is? I'm lookin for another car, not to race or anything. Just want to know if it's decent. (Is it like a stock DX or EX civic or a LS teg?)

From what I have read, I would guess it would closer to the DX or EX Civic. But TRD has a bunch of stuff for it available as Dealer Installed Options that won't void the warranty. Toyota seems to be behind this car 100% as far as performance upgrades go.

Now if we could find more manufactures that encourage going fast and modifying their products, the world would be a happy place. Toyota, Chrysler and Honda/Acura seem to be on the ball in this regard. Ford and most of the others is a different story. Ford triied to void my entire warranty for installing a Cat-Back and Cold-Air. WTF?

I got in trouble the last time I posted pictures, so there aren't any.

I saw it driving by my office this morning on Jefferson Ave. In Newport News.
