Styling

The original xB was a plain-looking dorkmobile that lended itself to the accessory market because of its overall blandness. The new xB has a lot of style, but much of it is questionable. What’s with the ultra-thick rear pillars? Why does it have a cow catcher, and why are there fake vents in it? Why is the reverse light uselessly off to one side of the rear bumper? Overall the style works from some angles, doesn’t from many others, but has enough built-in flair that we wonder if it’ll be as popular with the aftermarket as the original.
