Attracting the coveted 18-to-34-year-old age group is job one for Scion, the youth-oriented division of Toyota, and its xB wagon is the fashion centerpiece of the brand. Although the Scion xB has the body of a miniature delivery truck, even in its second generation this box still casts a distinctive silhouette. Additionally, Scion has made it easy for its customer base to personalize their xBs by offering an extensive list of aftermarket-type dealer-installed accessories, including advanced audio systems, wheels, body kits and mild performance modifications.

While the original Scion xB was little more than a rebadged version of a Japanese-market Toyota, Scion had the American market specifically in mind when it made the second-generation model bigger and more powerful. While the first xB earns points for originality and the second for practicality, either generation is a fine pick for a small and distinctive wagon. Credited to http://www.edmunds.com/
