55k for an xB.. and Tom Hanks bought it

Tom Hanks Buys First AC Propulsion Hybrid Scion xB

(and it has volks! hahaha)

AC Propulsion has delivered the first eBox customer car to Tom Hanks. The actor and producer, a veteran EV driver, ordered his eBox after driving the first prototype last July. "I still have a Toyota RAV4 EV and never spent a penny on gasoline for it", said Hanks, "What AC Propulsion is doing is fantastic. I drove their tzero electric sports car a few years ago, so when they put the same technology in a four-door I wanted one for myself. It has double the range, goes fast, uses Li Ion batteries, and is incredibly roomy and comfortable. Oh, and I will also never have to put any gasoline into it!"

Nah - too much rear glass for a cabrio, and I think you can make out the antenna on the trailing edge of the roof.
