America's Top 40 New Cars
39. SCION XB
WHY IT'S ON OUR HIT PARADE: Not as delightfully out of place on American roads as the first xB, it has 55 more horses, stability and traction control, six airbags, tire-pressure monitoring, remote keyless entry, A/C, and six-speaker Pioneer hi-fi with auxiliary jack. Now if you're over 35, you won't look like you're driving your son's car. If you're under 25, you can still use it as a blank canvas for customization.
COOL FACT: Sold in Japan as the Corolla Rumion.
SUM UP: Hip family hauler for you, the spouse, and a couple of dogs.
