My other vehicle is a Scion xB - purchased for the same reasons I bought the Kymco LIKE 200i.
Well made, kookie/cool/different looking, inexspensive - utterly reliable and massively fun.
Neither company advertises the vehicles I own. Never seen a commercial for Kymco or xB's.
Both have active and fun owner forums....
Kind of reverse/cool to be the only Kymco or Scion xB in the mega-Walmart parking lot!
Sure, I wish Kymco made all kinds of accessories for my scooter...........But they don't.
