out the cigars, Scion’s popular xB gets a baby brother, the xD

What We Drove

Toyota provided us with a pre-production xD, which included some options. Our test vehicle came with carpeted floor mats, sport shift knob, 16-inch alloy wheels, sport steering wheel, chrome exhaust tip and electronic stability control. One problem: on the Scion web site you’ll find all of these items except the 16-inch alloy wheels. There are a couple of 18-inch wheel packages carrying the Toyota Racing Development brand TRD and carrying a nearly $2,000 price tag. The xD is priced at $15,170, including $620 destination fee, for the manual transmission model; and $15,970, including destination, for the automatic.
