Not unless you're a young man with an artistic bent, in which case Toyota (TM) is fairly sure you have already tripped across one of its edgy Internet ads, cryptic movie trailers or other odd marketing placements for the redesign of its boxy Scion xB that goes on sale next week.



Toyota is actively trying to isolate Scion messages from the tragically unhip by relaunching the xB without any advertising on television or in mainstream publications.

Information:
In Countries (where Scion is not officially sold)like middle East it's badged as Dhaitsu Materia.

It's not exact like Scion xB u cn say it's a base version.(less aggressive,no side skirts,no ground hugging bumpers,spoilers...etc)

The new xB looks better than the previous one, or at least the Yellow one with black rims looks good.

Clever headline, if only to those who take the time to read the article.

I'm an older guy who thinks this new design looks great. My wife hates any boxy-looking car.

I actually kind of liked the old xB's more simple design... the new one has less character, IMO.
