I've had a couple Kia Souls for rentals that I've been reasonably impressed
with. Basically the same market as the xB and Cube. The Soul is comfortable,
reasonably quick and relatively economical to drive. Being a Kia they're pretty
cheap too.

I liked the Scion xBs when they came out, and would have seriously considered
one if I wanted a new car with decent room for stuff. Considering that they
were Toyotas in disguise meant they would probably be decent as far as build
quality and reliability. Prices were a little stupid after they got rolled
out, though.
The interiors were sort of cheap and plasticky, I thought, but my expectations
would have been low in that regard.
