Default A good xD follow up


I sorta think this would make a good next xD .This way the xB would get a chance to shrink down a bit ( which I believe it will ).And still keep a smaller 4dr. I'm sure it must be related to the up coming IQ, both being rear engined and such.


A Japanese magazine has published an artist’s image of what possibly could be Toyota’s answer to costlier variants of the Tata Nano. The car apparently is due in 2012 .The magazine reports the new compact will head to India in 2012. It will have a 2-cylinder 800cc engine that will be placed over the rear axle. The dimensions of this car are 3150*1535*1600 (L*W*H)

never sell here. I think alot of people underestimate how small a kei-car really is. xB/bB looks like a tahoe compared to some, especially that one. i got to see a QNC bB finally and it is smaller than the previous bB. hence the reason it was not offered to replace our xB1. i belive Toyota is pushing their luck with Scion offering the iQ anyway

Agreed. American consumers just don't want compact cars...period. I'm crossing my fingers for the iQ, but it's a long shot imho.

no oil companies get to say i bet on whats diesel and then they jack up the price on it. I remember when diesel was uber cheap gas. but a 1.3 98 hp auto will be as quick as our auto xB1's, xA's, Yaris, etc.

Car companies themselves are not releasing diesels in America, it has nothing to do with the oil companies.

The Audi A3 TDI is *drool*

Volkswagen is the original marque within the Volkswagen Group, which includes the car marques Audi, Bentley Motors, Bugatti Automobiles, Automobili Lamborghini, SEAT, Škoda Auto and heavy goods vehicle manufacturer Scania. In 2009, the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG endorsed the creation of an integrated automotive group with Porsche under the leadership of Volkswagen.
sometimes called Union Motors

and if every car was released with a diesel model, how would that effect gas prices? the oil companies would not like that and raise diesel prices beyond repair
