I guess there is still a big part of me that chooses form over functionality. I didn't mean to imply I thought it was not a nice vehicle, the styling is just ... not inspiring to me. The same goes for the Honda suv's. I am curious to the coefficient of drag on these vehicles. I know someone who is in love with the xB and is saving to buy one. I kid her about it, all in good fun.

If you go on the link I posted when I started this thread, they have a xB concept on the Toyota page

Terry, I am glad the HCH-II came out in time, I am sure it is a bit more comfortable and luxurious than the xB by nature, with added FE. I considered the tC for something to drive until I could order and get a Hybrid when I visited the dealer with my friend. I just happened upon the 05 HCH and went for that instead. I also know I have a family member that would want it if I decide to get the HCH-II in the next year or two, it seems I might do this once I feel my technique has been mastered.

I also want this car if they will make it
