2007 Chicago Auto Show: 2008 Scion xB

Scionxbprofile

Kelsey Mays already wrote his full report of the Scion xB, which is going to roll out officially at the Chicago Auto Show tomorrow. Therefore we only have a few images that Toyota has allowed us to show.

The all-new xB is based on a new small car platform for Toyota and gets a radical redesign. Gone is the upright box, leaving a leaning rhomboid in its place. The lower profile changes the overall look tremendously, but it doesn’t seem much bigger from the outside even though the new car is larger inside and out.

A 158-hp four-cylinder gives the xB a lot more power and puts it on an even playing field with the Honda Element. We’ll have a lot more information and photos tomorrow, including interior shots, but for now check out the newest Scion on the block.

Next Up, Sable: Mercury to Rename Montego

Mercurysable

We first heard this morning about Ford renaming the Five Hundred sedan after the more popular Taurus it replaced a few years ago. Now, we learn from the Chicago Tribune’s Jim Mateja that not only will the Taurus name be brought back, but so will the Mercury Sable, the “new” name of that brand’s version of the Five Hundred, the Montego. The official announcements and introductions will come tomorrow during the first media day of the Chicago Auto Show. Both the Five Hundred and Montego are built in Chicago.
