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.

They are entitled to their choice! The point that was being made was that a previous poster had said that Scion was targeting young people. My observation was the this particular van IMO had no young person appeal!
There will always be those that think a car is simply a tool to get from A to B, I see hundreds of them everyday on my commuter, but this becomes slightly off topic so I will leave it there.
