I have to admit, when I first saw the Scion,,, I thought it was the ugliest car I ever saw. We test drove one and were very surprised how well it handled and how comfortable it was for a low end car. After a a couple of hours, the,,,,, "looks" of the car began to take on a "it's so ugly it's cute" attitude.
We now have a Scion xB and my son is going for the Element. Can you believe it!!!! Two ,,,,,,,,,"Box Cars",, in the family!!:--)
