Am I the only one who constantly gets confused by the Scion xBs?

There I am, driving down the freeway, minding my own business, see a van, think to myself, “Hey, that van is pretty far away,” then suddenly realize that, no, it’s one of those blasted perspective-bending xBs and it’s right in front of me.

Scion xB—evil plot for world domination, or just something we should get used to seeing? Enquiring minds want to know.
