Nice find Eric!

what i want to know is how the xB ends up in the Popular priced Trucks category? :lol:

no one can decide what it really is as evidenced by insurance companys rating it differently...

 

[MPToaster]

My insurance company calls it a wagon. I don't mind, it means it's just that much cheaper to insure .

 

[Goldtouch]

my insurance rates it as a SUV, but i just recieved my new registration calls it a suburbsn, go figure ??? I guess i will have to call the insurance and see if i can get them to change it.

wow...I'm surprised, actually. With the sub quality plastics and ease of damage that can be done, I am surprised.

Thats because all car interiors are made of the same things these days.

My guess is that it was nominated due to the surprising spaciousness. I still can't get over how cavernous the space in the front seats feels.

i do not really think that the plastics in the xB are sub quality, i like the textures and most plastic i have seen scratches/mars fairly easily...

really? I've got a few scratches and only know for sure how a couple of them got there. I can't remember if it was this site or SL, that a guy was POed after scratching his dash with an envelope! Dont' say I blame him!
