I liked the Scion xBs when they came out, and would have seriously considered one if I wanted a new car with decent room for stuff. Considering that they were Toyotas in disguise meant they would probably be decent as far as build quality and reliability. Prices were a little stupid after they got rolled out, though.
The interiors were sort of cheap and plasticky, I thought, but my expectations would have been low in that regard.
