For those folks who don’t know, the Scion xB is an urban utility vehicle which features an iconic box style with elongated headlamps, rectangular grille and pronounced fenders. Under the hood, the 2009 model features a 2.4-liter dual overhead-cam four-cylinder engine capable to develop 158 hp, with 55 more than the previous generation. With this engine the estimated EPA fuel economy is of 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.
According to the manufacturer the stability and the handling of the vehicle is attributed to the MacPherson strut front and rear torsion beam suspension but also to the 16 inch wheels.
At the interior the vehicle features plenty of utility space with 21.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 60/40 split fold flat rear seats for additional space and a flat cargo floor. Also the front seats can be fully reclined in order to increase cargo space or relaxation. More details after the jump!

you will have a hard time to find a teenager who doesn’t know or want a Scion.
