I agree that the xB and Elephant are shoebox ugly.
But if you really want quirky, I'm surprised you didn't look into the Pontiac Aztek
or Isuzu Vehicross.

Get the windows tinted. Dark.

But man's gotta do what a man's gotta do to save his 951, I suppose. Folks have done worse things to save a car....
The xB is too much of a 'JDM craze' car for me. The biggest reason this car will sell well here in the USA (besides it's rediculously low sticker price) is that right now, anything that resembles 'J-Spec' or JDM (Japanese Domestic Product) is HOT amongst the near-20-something kids.
I must say for a little car, it does have a lot of space inside. I just can't see beyond it's looks.
Just my $0.42, (and I'm not trying to start a flame war...)

Have you done much travel in Japan? My time's been limited to lux hotels in Tokyo with well funded partners courting our business, trade shows in Makuhari, and few trips to work with local software resellers in Fukoka. I've always dug the micro-bus/vans that cruise the streets, doing delivery detail, service, or just as passenger cars. I like the white gloves and doilies in the taxis. I've always had a soft spot for the Japanese style of hot-rodding. I'd always wanted to convert my old 72 240Z to a japanese styled fairlady and that was back in 78, so I'm a bit of an odd duck there, always out of step. But that micro-van style was one of the elements, no pun intended, that hit for me with this car.
