I have a 2006 xA, and I happen to think it's a great car.

Gotta say the styling on the 2008 xB really turns me off. I've seen so many customized xBs that look better than the new body style.

Well since this is no longer an iPhone thread and is now a car thread...

The Chevy Cobalt has no relation to the Cavalier at all. Its linage actually came from Saturn. The Cobalt SS is actually a rebadged Saturn Ion Redline. Same exact car, except for rear disc brakes I think.

i must agree..i do like the 1stg of the xB better than the 2ndgen xB...and the reason i chose this vehicle was because of the body shape relation to the iPhone...box and slim body type...

well, again i wanted to show the close relation of the body shape of both the xB and the iPhone...that's whole point of the thread...

I have had one for a month now and lov it......
Teal, slush box, Nav System and the Ipod works like a charm and I am sure the IPhone will too after speaking with Apple rep.

Why would I own an xB if I don't like it? All I need to know is its 103HP engine and an almost 10 second 0-60 time. And it looks like a box on wheels.

Anyways just my opinion. If you like your xB than more power to you. Personally for the money, I would buy the Mini Cooper instead. Better performance, better looking and far more fun.

It's a better car but it does replace the Cavalier in the lineup at about the same price point. And it still gets below average reliability according to CR.

again, based on its body shape, the iphone seems to fit well with the xB...now like the cooper...but the have add to shape of the car....

better yet, when you think of the phone, what vehicle comes to mind...

You ever seen a turbocharged xB go? And by the way, the 2008 turns more than 103 hp. It's got a new 2.4L engine.

I've got a Benz in the garage too. But what car do I drive everyday? you bet it's the Scion. Cheap, easy, light on the gas, anyone can fix it, relatively sporty. Haven't found anything not to like yet.

Hate to say it, but I find its shape and coloring very reminicient of the new S600. Too grandmotherly for me but the aesthetic does seem to be similar.
