the second type was made from 2008 until 2015. this type looks much rounder and it is more powerful than the first type of car. this type is also not as popular because it is a more generic type of car. there has been a lot of criticism about the second type of scion xb because of this reason. also, many original xb owners despise the xb2 even being called an xb. the xb2 has its own name in other markets. scion used the xb name in an attempt to help sell it in america.
