Before I bought my civic hybrid, I was SERIOUSLY considering the Scion xB. I took it for a test drive and fell in love. Fun to drive, spacious, visability surpassed only by a convertible with it's top down, great gas mileage, inexpensive, customizable...then I told Roger about it, and that was the end of all that. He would not be caught dead in "that ugly box". Their style, or lack thereof depending on your opinion, certainly gets comments. I personally loved it. I've since read some rather bad things about their safty ratings though. So if you're considering one, be sure to check out those closely.

or for something a little nostalgic, you could get one of these!
