Kogi xD

This xD by tuner Kogi features your standard array of upgraded wheels, tires, and a crazy body kit. But wait, that rear door doesn't open like a standard door. View Local Inventory

Heading around to the back, we find that the rear storage compartment features a pull out grill! The rear driver's-side door pulls out to reveal a small refrigerator. View Local Inventory

On the other side, we see that the rear passenger-side door slides out to reveal a sink. View Local Inventory

0-60 Mag/Sparco Rally xD

This Rally xD by 0-60 Mag and Sparco is packing serious wattage, and we don't mean amplification! Just check out this high-power lighting setup by PIAA. View Local Inventory

0-60 Mag/Sparco Rally xD

This xD features Sparco's race seats and harnesses, shifter, pedals, helmet, and steering wheel. We'd just love to see this Scion crashing through a heavily wooded rally course! View Local Inventory

However, this xB is more about audio performance than drifting performance. View Local Inventory

Five Axis DJ xB

Unfortunately, this otherwise over-the-top xB still features Scion's stock Alpine receiver, which we merely tolerated when we tested the 2010 Scion xB. View Local Inventory

Five Axis DJ xB

Of course, being customized by Five Axis means that the DJ xB gets a set of deep dish Five Axis wheels. View Local Inventory

Epic Cartel tC

The Epic Cartel tC starts with a 3-inch roof chop, custom paint, and an extreme body kit. Ridiculously large 22-inch wheels and an airbag suspension complete the loud-and-low look. View Local Inventory

Open roof driving

However, the Epic Cartel tC doesn't stop there. The tC's glass roof and rear window have been removed. An Alpine iVA-W505 headunit is the basis of a full Alpine audio system with four 10-inch subs and over 3,000 watts of amplification. View Local Inventory

The Mummbles xB also features a powerful Descendant turbocharger system, but somehow it gets lost among all of the gold and teal blue. View Local Inventory
