hehe yeah I got kinda long winded there. And yes being the fact that it's toyota is another selling point w/ me.
My only complaint is that at launch they will only be releasing the FWD xB/bB and, as far as I know, won't have the AWD just yet (or at all for that matter...who knows). That is one thing the element has over the xB, you can get the element in AWD. Anyway...hopefully I'm wrong and they actually have the AWD xB as one of the available models.
