Honda already has something out to compete with the bB, as does Nissan. This looks like something larger, more along the lines of something like the Odessey. Not sure though.
Here is the Honda already sold in Japan:
This new one looks to have sliding rear doors, and a longer wheel base. However it is pretty hard to tell without seeing side by side comparison.

Can we say "carbon copy"?
This one has mini-van doors opposed to car doors like the xB has. But since it's smaller than a mini-van, is it a micro-van?
Wouldn't a new redesign of the element cure the need for Honda to make an entirely new car to fight the xB, and releave people from from no longer having to see the current ass-ugly style?

The Nissan Cube is even more of a carbon copy of the bB. The Cube is supposed to come to the states shortly. Pretty cool little car with lots of nifty options. I'll try to find some more pictures.
I wasn't too crazy about the whole micro van genre that the xB fell into. But once you drive one of these things, you begin to appreciate the utility and gas mileage. The styling isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I like it. The xB has pretty much proven that there is a decent market for these types of vehicles in the US, so it should be interesting what other offerings come to the US from competing Import car manufacturers in the near future.
BTW...shouldn't this be in General Car Chat?

I just wonder if it is as fun as the Xb when it comes to driving, I think all of them look good, and if they are priced as low as the Xb, than honda needs to get them over here.
