The 2010 Scion xD is both smaller and less boxy than its deliberately bricklike brother xB. Its distinctive shape mixes rounded, wedgelike, and boxy forms. From outside, the 2010 Scion xD can seem slightly menacing. Some liken it to a bulldog-meets-Mack-truck look; others have compared it to blocky footwear. Such an upright profile provides lots of interior space, but the wind noise is notably higher than in sleeker hatchbacks. The standard 16-inch wheels sit inside flared wheel arches, with alloys ranging up to 18 inches offered as options. Inside, all Scions go to town. The gauge cluster of the 2010 xD resembles a clock face, and it’s mounted on the steering column and moves as the wheel tilts.  TheCarConnection
