I went with my roomate to test drive one of these he loved it and is going to purchase one soon! The ride quality was good and we took it through a lot of potholes (dealers suggestion) and found it to be very stable. It definately could use more power. But the big selling point for him is the 30 miles per gallon. His 4runner only manages around 15MPG! getting milage check at work is great if you have a car that is easy on gas! We looked for a black cherry colored one but the dealer said that there is a wait for that color!

It's just boxy. Saying it looks like a Honda Element is like saying a Hyundai Tiburon looks the same as a Toyota Celica. I like the fact that Toyota did something fresh and on the edge with the looks. They took a chance and it seems to be working for them in sales. Think of the xB as the anti-VW Beetle. Merge the two and you get a car with average looking sheetmetal.
