As much as most of us on this forum hate the Scion xB, and the Honda Element, there are some who see cars as tools with no need for entertainment in their driving. They see it as a purely practical device to carry themselves, their friends, and their crap from one place to another.

The bad part is that you can do all of that with a much more fun to drive car, and I've seen the conversion happen. Dude I used to know had an Acura TL and he thought heated leather seats were as good as it got until he rode in my MR2. Now he drives a Miata, and loves every opportunity to do the spirited mountain drive.
People who have an xB just don't know what driving can be, which is probably better for us, otherwise there'd be a lot more cars on the road, and a lot more crashes in the hills from people over driving their cars.
