Allright.. Today i had orientation in New Orleans. Anyway, I was on my way home, and I saw a toyota dealership. There was a scion XB out front. It was dark silver w/ 18" TRD racing wheels. So i test drove it, and fell in love!!!!!!! I think i'm gonna trade in my SI for it, in about 2 months! I have to special order a XB. So i have to wait 6-8 weeks. should I do it? or not?

the messed up thing is that there is more aftermarket parts for that thing than there is for our car... go figure

Depends what your looking for. If your looking for performance, then obviously don't trade in the EP, unless your going to boost the Xb. If your looking to get a car to "cruise" in and hook up in a show type of way, then thats the car for you.

hey, I have a Xb on order. Haven't decided,but i think i'm going to trade my EP when It gets here. I think it time for a change. They are cheap as hell too

You should do whatever you want. If you think if fits you better, then go for it. After all, the most important think is what you like, not what other people like.;)

thanks yall for replying! I'm still throwing the idea up in the air. I will be till i'm financially ready to do something.

Hey teamera. Yo! I was thinkin of either doin that or going w/ the blue and putting some 18" Kantana VR6's!!!! I love the way they look, but I love the performance stock on our si's.

decisions.. decisions..

p.s. hey speedking.. sorry man, no pics. I plan on takin my dad down there to test drive w/ me. So when i do, i'll take the digi w/ us and I'll have some pics.

The xA and xB have 108 hp. The xC will have 160 hp. I test drove the xB just for the hell of it and it had horrible response. Getting on the interstae was outright scary in that vehicle.

the third scion the Tc will be a 2 door coupe starting at $16,xxx w/a 160hp i4, and you can get a supercharger from TRD for an extra $2-3k, bringing power to 200hp and not voiding the warrenty, can also get a nav system (ie in dash factory TV/DVD), Honda needs to give N.America some love........will never happen they're to busy counting the money from all the overpriced accords they sell....

sounds like a good deal.....but do we have this in canada or just in states???

Yep, you're right. It is a tc, not xc.

Obviously you don't want the xb if you're coming to a civic si forum asking if you should trade in your si. Of course we're all going to say "no". I think you should trade in your si so somebody worthy of having it can buy it, then you can rock the xb with 18's. :rolleyes:

I've seen them pop up all over. I'll admit that I like them. Toyota has a decent strategy that puts the Scions soley in the hand of the aftermarket. In fact Toyota has secured deals w/ several very popular and ruputable aftermarket venders that will offer high performance parts (not just I/H/E) for the Scion w/o voiding the warranty, and at a very reasonable cost. TRD is suposidly going to unleash an onslought of mods for the Scions for cheap and straight from the dealerships warranty intact. I've heard of a 300hp Xb rolling around in Houston. It supposidly has a swap (same engine from Celica GTS) and a turbo. It's black w/ 18" gold Gram Lights and a massive audio/video system complete w/ plasmas and sh*t. I'm sure its straight up sponsered and/or from Toyota. Has anybody heard of it?

Did you read all the other post? Some have been encouraging the move, some have not. This isn't VWVORTEX man, not everyone is a dick that believes his car is god. I think maybe you should do some research before you make such an ignorant statement. Oh yeah, and I think maybe you need a reality check as to where our EP stands next to the other cars in its class....not good

PLease keep the CLUBSI post on CLUBSI.

1. What's wrong with club si? I think Type X used to moderate there. Are you saying he and that board are sub par?

2. Last time I checked this is ephatch. not xbhatch.

3. If you don't like your own car you are a poser. Go elsewhere.

4. I wasn't starting a flame war, just stating the facts.

p.s. Book 'em Dano

dont worry. I'm gonna keep the SI. So you can come off the EPHATCH security watch now, k? You've done great! You told me exactly where to go and what to do, and how to do it! WOWWWZA! You're cool man!

Here's a #5 and #6 for you...

5. If you're a dick. No one likes you. k dick?
6. Last time I checked, you were not God.

k thx bye

p.s. I used to love my si, i just fell out of love w/ it. I think after i start getting parts for it, things will be better. and what the hell does IBTL mean?

1. ClubSI has A LOT of kids that think they are the say all be all on the road, kinda act like you actually. Oh yeah, and I NEVER said anything about Type X, So don't put words in my mouth.

2. This is Ephatch. That is no reason why someone can't ask us our opinion, about a car that he us considering.

3. I love my SI, but I can face the facts and see that its not the king of the road. I also have IS 300, a S15 converted 240SX, and a GTI 337. Sorry I can appreciate other cars then my SI. Guess its my fault since I can afford to buy many different kinds of cars. Including an xB come mid-June. I guess You would understand if you weren't in high school, with a car your parents bought for you.

4. Obviously you aren't very considerate to others. Your facts are that of a child that can barely think past the last porno he saw. Why would you put down a car that I'm sure you have never looked at. I am sure that you are above going to a Scion dealer to look a car that is being praised in every article about it. God forbid, that a Toyota put more thought into a car. God forbid that they actually had the balls to bring out cars that the tuner market/ youth would embrace. Honda obviously was oblivious to the fact that this market was a gold mine.

P.S. Think before you type Junior.

Thats a VWVORTEX thing. In Before The Lock - is what it means. Because they lock anything that doesn't concern the God car that is VW..... according to them.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

well .. I see now.. hmm.. :rolleyes: sounds gay to me.. but oh well..

Anyway, my bro and I had a pretty long discussion. He's talked me into keepin the SI. And now i'm gonna go along w/ the plans of modding it. So yea. that's the plan! KEEPIN THE HONDASI! cya

this is the wrong place to be asking whether or not you should be trading you EP for just about anything. and if you don't already know if you want it or not... then its probably just a phase.
