Who all has ordered this besides me? I was just wondering? I am so excited to get this thing. There are more details now, on Scion.com. The package will have a MSRP of $980, and the 18" TRD rims will be optional.....

I can't wait....http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bounce.gif


Doc

Only bad part about it is, you'll be waiting till the end of March to get it.

I wanna order one but it needs to be Auto, does any one know if you can get them in auto or 5sp, wish I had the money I would buy the girl an auto and me a 5sp.

Mines ordered :D

As far as I know you can get either, I ordered it in auto....


Doc

Your gonna pay extra extra for the auto. I think its an additional grand for automatic tranny, then the $980 for the r.s.1.0 package.

I guess ill be ordering those MB 72 something or others instead of the TRDs. Doc, got any price on the TRDs?

Well this is for my girl so we gots to get an auto, I thihnk it is gonna be a show car and not a race car so it doenst matter.
Plus i dont mind waiting, better to have one of 2100 cars then to get the first polar white xB in upstate NY

Doc are you gonna be able to hold off till march? I know I can't wait till june, I wonder if I could get our body shop to do a Tc for me in that lava ?

Yeah I think I can hold off till March, but lets hope the Pony lasts that long...
Hell yeah, tC in Hot Lava, that sheit would rock, Fo Shizzle....


Doc

I saw on one of Vernoe's post, talking about a lava Tc done up like the General Lee ( dukes of hazzard ) Man that's a good idea but I don't think it would be in good taste here in waldorf, but it is a neat idea, I used to love that show, Bo and Luke of course Dasy and those dasy dukes.... wow wow. Lets see if someone will weld the doors shut, hahaha

March looks like a good month for me. Can't wait!

Those TRD 18" rims are MSRP'd at $1795!!!!
That is expensive! I am gonna bypass those and go for the 5Zigen wheels I like!


Doc

Waiting til March isnt bad considering that us on the East side have been waiting a long enough time to get the xB's even over here. Another month means more times to save for other goodies. I'm in between right now on getting a Black or waiting til the 1.0 comes out. Any comments ideas? Other then being Hot Lava and matching strut bar and differnt interior whats going to be different about it? Whats the base price for the 1.0 going to be also?

Jd it has orange light inside plus different seats too, I think this is pretty smart kicking off a limited release 1 month after the east coast launch should increase sales and market awareness of Scion that Lava color will really turn heads

The package for the 1.0 is $980 more... you should get a regular xB in Feb... So that there wont be very many 1.0's rollin around, that would make mine more rare!!!! Seriously, either way, there will be others, and they will be different than this one too!


Doc

I'm also attempting to get a RS...and by attempt, I mean I need to sell my car first. 8)

I haven't heard much of this Hot Lava...i'll go wander off into scion.com.

You go back to your dealer and tell those bastards they don't need more than 1 RS 1.0 xB's showing up on their lot. We dont need to have a bunch rollin around, it is our job to be unique, dont let them ruin it....


Doc

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It ain't gonna happen. My dealership is getting 5 also.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It ain't gonna happen. My dealership is getting 5 also.

They are asking, it aint gonna happen, I call corporate and told them to send all the Lava Boxes to the West Coast except for those that have already been ordered...

Honestly, they are making 2100 of them, there are 105 dealerships in Cali alone, and they will be released through out the south, the Gulf states and the east coast...

If cali were to get all of them, with 105 dealers, thats 20 per dealer... do you really think an East Coast Dealer is gonna get 5 of them?



Doc

Anything is possible. As long as they are taking orders for them, most likely they'll get what ever they order. I doubt if they are gonna turn down orders on a newly released car do you :?: .

Can someone provide me with a link that says about Hot Lava...I know where the Metallic Orange is on scion.com, but am unsuccessful in finding Info for the Hot Lava. Or is Metallic Orange actually called 'Hot Lava'?

Andrew

Same color 8)

Hot damn... guess we all learn something new every day.

Andrew

Heres the link, enjoy....

For all those purchasing the xB RS 1.0, how 'bout rockin' these? 8)

(they're orange not red in case it's hard for you to tell :wink: )

Or would this be too much orange?

I think that would be overkill.

OOH I like those, what are they and where did you find them? They look like 5zigen wheels...



Doc

not really sure if it would be over kill, but the orange doesn't look like it would match too good. which would be a problem

Doc

I found'em here http://www.wheeloptions.com/wheels.html. They're made by SpeedMaster model # SM-046 and the finish is called Team Orange. Unfortunately, I just noticed, after looking at the site again, the only sizes they have in this finish are 15x6.5 with +40 and +38 offset. :(


and yeah...hehe not sure if they'd totally match the color since I haven't seen them in real life but...just thought it was cool...well would *be* cool if they did match. :wink:

Follow the link below, there are a set of Orange Rims ( Kosie K1 TS ) they are number 35. According the the info, they are 15X7 @ $149 each.

http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/WheelSearch.jsp?&autoMake=Scion&autoModel=XB&autoYear=2004&autoModClar=

The wheels are over kill, and probably wont match whats so ever.

Not to hate on anybody here but does anyone agree with me that if alot of people go out and order this "special version release series" of the HOT LAVA xB, then in a way it loses it's "special status?" Are most of you ordering this one b/c it is a great value (980 for all the goodies) OR b/c you want to be unique and labeled 1/2100?? Personally I think it takes the fun out of starting out with a butt stock one and going from there. Either way I'm just curious.

hey doc...you should rock those oarnge wheels and get a sponsorship from Tropicana! I've got more people interested in the 1.0 then I've got cars allocated...would you want to donate your's to me?

BTW, which 5 zigens are you looking at? I've been planning on getting the FN01's in bronze, but now I see them everywhere. It may be back to the drawing board for me!

I almost decided that I didn't want a Scion because there was no color that really made me happy. The one day the orange one appeared and within minutes I was calling my dealer because the xB that was meant for me arrived.
There are not many options that are extra, but the upgrades I want to do, would have to be done on any xB, but I understand your stock/build-up idea.

I don't see how the Lava Box will lose its special status once all 2100 are sold... over 6000 xB's were sold in Cali alone, from June to November. In february, 23 more states will start selling Scions, it they each sell half of what Cali dealers sold, then they will sell 500 xB's per month, each, that works out this...
23 states multiplied by 500/mo multiplied by 5 months (til June)

23*500*5= 57,500

That means that it is possible for Scion to sell 57,500 xB's in 5 months, if these states sell half of what Cali did. Then in June 26 more states will start selling xB's.

Then if you factor in the xA's and the tC's in June, you are easily looking at 100,000 Scions by the end of the year... 2100 orange ones would definitly be special...

Thats what I think... but either way, I think the Hot Lava xB is one of the hottest cars I have ever seen!!!

Not only will I not donate my Lava Box to you, but you had better figure out a way to start selling reg xB's again...

I am looking at the 18" White 5ZR Copse rims, white rims on the orange box... my plates will say "CRMCYKL".......

Just kidding, I want those rims but in silver...


I wonder if they would sponsor?

i think it's overkill ,just my opinion but they are SIK :twisted:

I'll just be happy with the 16" TRD rims on my RS1.0

Even if everyone in Cali got a hot lava I think it will still be rare to see. The options on it still make it pretty much stock. I plan on putting a whole lot more on mines so theres no fun takin out of it. Not only that but your 1 in 2100

Ok, is it true that this limited edition orange xB will NOT come with rims? It's gonna come with hub caps?!?!?! Hell no, I don't even want to hear about this thing ever again. sorry, it's cool and all, but I was hoping it would come with wheels standard. I'm hoping to keep to Scion stock, so that's why. I know everyone else wants to add on stuff.

This model still comes with only hub caps with the option of alloys. If thats what you are looking for just have the dealer install alloys or trd's. For the price of the 1.0 I baleive your getting what you pay for and more.

The RS packages does NOT come with any special alloy. Just the lame-___ hubs.' It's a $950 (something like that) package, it's not going to roll a 19" rim with that little bit of money.

Andrew

Yeah it's a good price I guess, but a special edition with hub caps? :roll:

And I wasn't expecting 19"

15" rims would be ok for me :D seriously

Anything less is CRAP. Geez, when I saw 18's on an xB in person, I knew 19's were mandatory.

Andrew

The Special Package price is $980 for the R.S. 1.0... the rims in the pic are optional TRD 18" rims, they can be purchased at your dealer for the MSRP of $1795.00...

I can get the 18" R1's or 5ZR's for less the $1200 wrapped, those are toyota rims... way too much... you dont want those on your car... you can do much better....
