Toyota Urban Cruiser

[TheIntrepid]

Toyota is extending its sports utility vehicle range into the small car segment with its new Toyota Urban Cruiser, it is an environmentally responsible SUV aimed at the market for urban all-road vehicles and meeting motorists' priorities for low fuel consumption and emissions.

Am I the only one who sees RDX if I squint?

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

XB?

Looks like the Scion. And they already have a plethora of SUV/Crossover/Not calling it a wagon things. Why do we need another one?

[nickdrinkwater]

It's based on a Scion, to be sold in Europe.  Seems like we're getting the Scions now, just under different names.  Ie Daihatsu Materia:

I thought I was looking at the facelifted Nissan Note when I saw this. 



The front is terrible, the body is boring. Don't even show me the rear or interior.

BECAUSE TOYOTA IS A GREEN COMPANY AND CARES ABOUT MOTHER NATURE.

Well, thankfully it ended up better than that, but it is remarkably unexceptional... it's not polarizingly ugly, but it bears a terrible name and dull looks.

Haha... that's a valliant attempt to piss every kind of half-troll we have off.

I'm happy with that.

[sandertheshark]

Completely pointless.

What's this current trend with bulgy headlights? They look stupid! 

[Soup DeVille]

OMIGOD!!!!!

Toyota put the xD on stilts!  It's fucking genius!

[Catman]

Looks pretty good.  DO they need this when they have the Matrix?

The xD is subcompact. This will likely compete with the other Super soft-roaders, the Peugeot 206 Something (I forget) and the others. I can't think of the names.

THAT should have been the xB.

[Secret Chimp]

Looks like a poopie.

Pretty much lol.

It is, but ours is elongated and has more power -- exactly what the xB really didn't need on pretty much either front.

Not to mention that it now gets the gas mileage of a midsize sedan and has a smaller interior than the previous model.

The Truth About Cars hit the nail on the head with the new xB when they suggested that Toyota stole a page from GM's old playbook, "Bloat it out and cheapen it up!"

[nickdrinkwater]

THAT should have been the xB.

Why?  There's one at work and it's ugly as anything.

[2o6]

Why?  There's one at work and it's ugly as anything.

That's the appeal of the original xB. It's so ugly, it's not. The new one is just ugly.

There's an Urban Cruiser or an xB at work?

I think he's talking about the Daihatsu Materia.

Whoops.

[nickdrinkwater]

I meant the Materia.  Looks like a rollerskate.
