Anyone buying an xB or Element for the purposes of going fast is dillusional. I didn't buy it for performance. I bought it purely for reliable transportation to achieve decent gas mileage while also gaining TONS of utility. Plus I love the xB's styling about as much as I love the boxy styling of my former Foxbodies. No worries though, another Foxbody project car is in the works to appease my need for something a bit more fun to drive.
