Rumion, Scion xB, OZ "Rawkus" ZRE152N

[dutchie101]

Heya,

Well i kinda just got an update today from my dealer that the Xb, "Rumion", "Scion" or "Rawkus" as it will be named here (got i hope that was the name i was told ) is being released in Australia by Toyota in a few months. I was told this while i was inquiring re the FT-86, which i tried to put a a deposit on :)...

For those of you that dont know it, here 'tis

I think this is the 09 model.. Modellista Kits available... ;)

And we are getting it with a 2.4l

TRD Linky

Our model is almost the same i believe. Not sure of the exact details (well i am but not allowed to say, and ive lost the paperwork :P ), but expect 3 levels of release, ie, standard, letaher trim etc, and top model is moonroof etc.. much like the Corolla range...

I know this car isnt a Corolla, but it does share the same chassis i believe, its a ZRE152N, so dont flame me for putting it up here! :)

There are plenty of jap parts for these, so expect to see some nice examples within the next year..

Some love it, some hate it, but its good to see Toyota releasing new and exciting vehicles here we have missed out on..... now wheres my FT-86?!! its coming.. its coming... be patient... B)

it looks bad *****, but a bit too square for my liking

Absolutely hideous. 2.4l engine good, appearance bad.

That's the pre-facelift.

This is the current (Facelift) model (1.5G, shown with optional Aero Styling Package.).

Seeing that the American xB has not been updated yet (At least cosmetically.), I wonder if we'll get the styling of the US version (Hope we do. Off-center bumper reverse light FTW!).

You need to be homosexual to drive that hidious car.

Theyve been really popular with the Septics and i thought they looked ugly at first, but after seeing alot in mags and on the web in modified form, i have to admit i like the shape funnily enough.

looks like a Swift boxed out!

I've seen a Nissan similar to this design out on the streets...
