Go for the Scion. It's got a reliable Toyota 4-cylinder engine that's fuel-efficient.
Gas prices are supposed to be going back up this year.
Why don't you go to a dealer and test drive both of them to form your own opinion?

i just testdrove the tc today because they didn't have the xb in stock, and it was too low for me, but i will test drive both eventually. In terms of a pccar what car would be easier for the install?

XB deffenitely. Has a WHOLE lot of space to work with.
The only thing is, if you want performance, add a trubo. 108HP isn't enough for me, personally...

xB for sure. Way more room and it is still different enough to get noticed.

I wouldn't go with the Xb... Local bums on the Street of Hollywood call them 'Toasters'. Driving it feels like BoxCar racing.
I'm not a fan of Chrysler either. I strongly suggest you to consider other options.
P.S.
My Eclipse was built in a Chrysler plant.

Well, I have a question for you hookid:
What the ****?
Both of these cars are pieces of ****. I've driven the 300, a base model would surely blow. and the xB? Are you nuts? If I were to completely disregard the styling or even general shape, this car is still retarded.
These two cars are almost completely different, why are you comparing them?

Ok, I will.
The Scion has to be in the top 3 of the fugliest ****box rides ever sold in this country. Right up there with the Aztek and Elemelt. WTF? are you serious?
How can you compare the 2 vehicles? a 300 is a nice driving car, especially the decked out version, w/hemi, etc. etc.
The XB (extra boxy) rides like a school bus, and has a monster windshield to match. If you like that urban mass transit feel, buy the mini bus and put a 42" plasma in the dash, along with your carputer.
If you want a nice ride, and good looks, buy the 300.
Either way, it's your money, and ultimately your choice, buy whatever the hell you want. Then chop away at the dash! Then post pics.
Have a nice day!

The tC looks great IMO.
Why don't you get a used car?
