Toyota launches new bB / xB
Toyota's Japanese site has posted the new production-version Toyota bB which is know in North America as the Scion xB.
The new xB is being marketed as a "car-shaped music player" with a nine speaker sound system, mp3 capable stereo, and lights that flash in time with the music so you can have a rolling night club. Sorry your epileptic friends have to find there own ride.
More info and pictures after the jump...
Toyota will continue to offer a multitude of optional accessories to customize the xB as it has with it's other Scion products. The new xB is also aimed at providing it's occupants a relaxing environment by using a newly developed "Mattari-mode seats" in the front that not only recline but sink up to 80mm to create a couch-like experience. Which Toyota claims "delivers an unprecedented feeling of relaxation and privacy".
Two different engines are available for the bB / xB a new 1.5 liter VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) or an improved-output 1.3 VVT-i. Both can be mated to a four-speed automatic transmission or Super ECT.
