Wasabi - I guess you never read the post where I told you to check carfax. I regretted telling you to check it out after I checked carfax and it had like 11 reports on it.

CHECK CARFAX!

First I lol'ed. Then I thought about what you said and I agree.

BUT still LOL.

Actually I had them pull it up while I was there, nothing major on it.

Hmm. I am weary of a car if they don't like the mileage and VIN number on the website.

Bummer, I was pretty excited.

Tomorrow I am going to check on this but I won't have my hopes up this time: http://www2.citymitsubishi.com/newde...px?Stock=B1161

Actually the rental I had was a 3.5 V6, just not the smaller 2.7L. I found it quite nice to drive, it wasnt a tire shreding monster by any respects, but it had no problem crusing at 80mph, and no trouble passing people on the 2-lane country roads I was driving on. Id be perfect happy with that setup for my daily driver, a bit easier on gas than the V8s, but still a good ride.

Has any one see the 2008 Scion xB?

It looks like all other Toyota's ... bland.

The oldewr ones I might not have personally liked, but it had a distinct look.

Bleh. This is sooooo much better

I'm in the camp of loving the xB's look. I owned an 05 xB for a while even. The new xB is so bland, takes away pretty much the entire reason why the car even exists.

So I went to the dealership with a 2000 Ford Focus and came home with a 2007 Subaru Impreza
