Ditto Timbecile Great to have you here! :yes:
What is your favorite feature on your 2nd gen xB?
for me it is the S-mode sequential shift on the automatic transmission - i really like being able to manually shift w/o a clutch when i want to. it really utilizes the engines power better when a boost of speed is needed or wanted 
it is also great for hill / mountain driving as it will help to use the engine to keep the vehicle in control on steep grades [up or down] by being in the proper gear...

I'm pretty pumped about it....(except I got my first parking ticket todayGoldtouch said:
)I've had it for 3 days so far, and am still waiting for the Toyota people to call me to schedule my upgrades. anyone know how long I should wait to call THEM to schedule it?
anyhoo, so far I've only got the premium stereo and the 16" alloy rims, oh, and the overhead console. With the bazillions of aftermarket parts for this, it's only a matter of time before I start modifying it....I'm already thinking about the extra utility outlet mod I saw on this forum.
I got it in the hypnoticTeal. maybe not my most favorite color, but it looks sharp, and is a million times better than the silver my last two cars were.
I drove one of the limited edition RS? models. Great, fun ride, but a little too bling-y for my tastes...though I got to admit the lit door rails and cup holders are pimp.
Even though most car people recommend against it, I sprung for the extended warrantee. I've heard that Toyota has a great operational life, but I'm going to be putting at least 80 miles on a day. (The sales dude said they expected operation life of the xB was 400,000 miles. anyone have any experience with driving one that long?)
My fiance is already demanding to drive it every time we go somewhere....a sure sign that I did good!
Upgrades: When I bought my XB they had to order the special sunroof I wanted. Ordered it on a Friday evening and picked it up this following Friday morning.
Add'l selling point: I read an article that had the XB in the top 10 automobiles for retaining value after 5 years!!!
Extended warranty: my wife made me get it. In 2005 we bought her a 1999 Porsche 911 with 62,000 miles and bought the ext. warranty. About 8,000 miles later the engine blew. They had to pull it, send it to Porsche, and it was totally rebuilt.. The bill was over $13,000 and it only cost us another $100. (runs like new by the way :naughty
You're gonna love your XB.
