I was at a stoplight a couple of days ago and directly across from me was a Scion with some hippy lookin' dude driving.
On top of the Scion goofy (but kind of charming) little box on wheels was strapped a large ladder and a bale of hay! Yeah... a bale of hay... I absolutely burst out laughing!  angela

I hate those things with a passion bordering on psychosis.
I saw another one of these milk cartons the other day. The window from the B-pillar back wrapped around the D-pillar into the rear window. But only on one side! The other side had a regular D-pillar and a separate side window. Ugh.

I drive an 03 Element and it has been the most versitile vehicle I have ever owned. I also like the box look. Whenever my wife drives is, I make sure to tell her I love her box.

Under the right (or is that wrong) circumstances, I could maybe see having one of those.

Hope everything's OK. Last time I spent any length in the hospital, having a web-enabled phone was a godsend.

The original Scion xB was great. Scion screwed up, and they know it, with the redesign.
The Nissan cube is very cool. The Soul is ok, but not as cool. The Honda Element is an awesome car. The only, and I mean only reason I don't own one is because it only has two rear seat belts. I have three kids and it won't work for us. <---- loves the boxy goodness.

My box, not a road toaster, more like a loaf of bread.
