ugly-ass car

ugly-ass Scion xB car
We saw lots of these when we were down south: the Scion xB. Thankfully, they haven’t made it to Canada yet.

I thought at first it was a special-needs vehicle; with low sills and high door tops, it seems pretty accessible. But then again, such a vehicle needn’t be quite so horrible (like the old Invacar).

But now I discover that this car is being marketed to the ‘youth’ segment. What!? I used to draw things like this when I was three years old.

    Yes. I must agree. A 108hp Kleenex box on 14 inch “rims” doesn’t exactly make me giddy…*snores off to sleep*

    Ah, the deathless prose of the car lobby …

    Round these parts, “homo” is full cream milk.

    Oh is this an America vs. Canada thing? Just like an American to turn it into that. I won’t even bother bringing up one of a billion criticisms I could make about your country. about the car….

    it’s a car! who gives a crap?

    I own a Scion XB. It’s drives well. It’s simple. It’s roomy and I’m a musician so that’s good. And it gets roughly 600 city kms per tank. When I drive it around, I’m happy that I’ve got my entire band’s gear in the car and I’m spending less than half of what an American car would spend on gas. Sounds like people are still judging books by their cover tho. shame.

    rofls, I love these americans getting all bent out of shape over nothing… Its a dope ass car, i know not your typical american car, Big, noisy, powerhouse, gas guzzling etc etc but it gets the job done and looks sexy i might add. Now go log off, hop into your twin turbo diesel truck thats never been used to haul anything in its life and complain about fuel prices driving you into the ground. Meanwhile ill fill this puppy up about once every 3-4 weeks and call it a day.

    It’s kind of an ugly car, still I think they’re pretty good on gas.

    ha! Your line “I used to draw things like this when I was three years old” made me laugh out loud. It DOES look like a kids’ drawing of a car. Or orthopedic car.
    I’m with you about the looks - not too attractive. But if it’s that good on gas, maybe I could learn to love it….

    Some of these comments make me really sad. Ouch man - how dumb.
