No front plate in Arkansas. :clap: I can't wait to see it in person, but no regrets on my RS 4.0 purchase. I seriously considered holding out for one of these.
I do agree that Scion needs to get the price back down to stay competitive. Or come out with a another low cost, high mpg choice. It's no wonder the low average age has been shot way up.

They need to be lowed to look good. So if I ever get one, that'll be first on the list.

Why do they never put a decent set of wheels on the RS xB's and stick them with steelies and a cover? It makes me sad to see all of the envy green and hot lava's running around with the ugly grey plastic covers.

rocking a kenstyle kit, sunroof, colormatched interior, all from the factory...kind of makes us first geners jealous...but we are still boxier :)
Sorry, that ain't no xB and as a 1st generation owner, I don't feel jealous, just sad that we have to share the xb with that thing.

When i made the Jealous remark it was to the fact that look what scion is having to do to push these out the door...
RS1-4 (paint it a different color, slap a badge on it and they sold like bottles of water in the sahara) Could you imagine if the RS4 had a sunroof, kenstyle kit, and all that good stuff, there would have been riots at dealerships...riots i tell ya...
xB2 RS5 (kenstyle kit, sunroof, colormatched interior, etc...just to get them off the lot, that shows you right there that the xB2 is not selling like planned)

You guys are being kinda harsh I think the RS5 looks ill on some TRD 19" with a TRD drop. Give people a chance and there gona be some real nice ones rollin around just wait.

Its kinda ricey IMO with all that cladding and the way the interior looks with that paint... They should have went with a different color.

Finally saw one in person today.#92. I like it but think all that gold on the inside would get old after awhile of ownership. All together tho not a bad looking car.
