Scion xB Mule?




Someone caught this extended xB driving around. What is it for? The new generation Japanese domestic market bB looks nothing like this. The rumor has been that the next Scion xB will not be as closely related to the bB and may be bigger and more powerful. Could this car be testing suspension or drivetrain components? Did somebody decide to chop up their own xB? Who knows! Thread with photo and conversation here.

Just what America needs!!! Another version of the X-b with a longer wheelbase to get hung up on snow covered roads!!! Toyota has to raise the ground clearance on these beasts by 3 inches or so, to make them snow worthy for those of us who don't live down south!!!! Low ground clearance and ground effects look cool but they just aren't practicle in the real world!!!!
