nice find Matrixv01!

nice to see that the xB rates up there with all those other vehicles! :rockon:

did ya notice that all the pigeons on the roof waiting for the drivers to take off - then bombs away!

what i want to know is why is the xB rated 3 stars for safety?

it was rated 4 stars front impact and 5 stars side impact - to me that is 4.5 stars for safety!!

what is amazing to me is the cost of the vehicles in the comparison vs. the xB's cost...

the xB tested was $20, 627 vs. the lowest cost vehicle, the Chevy Malibu @ $27,795, to the highest cost vehicle, the Audi A5 @ $56,315!

so all vehicles compared to the xB were $7k to $36k higher in cost - shows you what value for the money the xB really is!! :rockon:

here is the breakdown for the finalists:

Scion xB $20,627
Chevy Malibu $27,795
Honda Accord $30,895
Dodge Grand Caravan $35,295
Mercedes C Class $43,835
Volvo V70/XC70 $44,560
Cadillac CTS $45,105
Audi A5 $56,315
