They are both great cars, just rather different.

My preference is for the xB, which is why I got one.

Agree. Just seems odd that once you made up your mind you'd let a 2 day delay change your decision. Eviljack went through a bunch of hoops before finally getting his..... just sayin..

On that I also agree . . .
(VERY odd to make up your mind, wait several weeks for delivery, and buy something else when an additional 2 day delay pops up unexpectedly.)

Man not just the hoops. My (then) fiance (now wife) had the pressure on me. I didn't have a car as I had already sold my Jetta and didn't know when it was coming in. She actually gave me a time frame that if I didn't know when it was coming in buy I had to give in and get a different color xB instead.

Wow, just ran across this thread today when searching for something else. Sounds like this guy suffers from car-purchase ADHD. And, his review after the test drive didn't sound all that enthusiastic, so I'm not sure why he ordered one in the first place. I wonder if he's married - seems like he'd be the type to call off the wedding when his fiance's walking down the aisle, because he spotted someone more attractive sitting in the audience.
