To be honest I didn't get them at first either. But as I've thought about a new daily driver, the xB has come up. Why do econo boxes have to be lame or uncool with no group of people to mod with? Some people would rather associate themselves with Mussolini than a Civic. We need more options.
The xB gives people a chance to have an affordable car they can mod and be enthusiastic about. Not everyone wants a sporty car.
It has high MPG, roomy and is quirky.
