If I get an xA soon, I'm trying to decide on the color. My favorite (by far) is the red. My local dealership has had a RS on the lot for over a month now, so I could get one if I wanted to. The problem is, I really don't want to shell out the extra $2,200 for the RS. I know that's a good deal for what's included, but I want to keep this as inexpensive as possible. He also has a black one, but there's already a black one in town. Plus, I don't care for how black shows every speck of dust or pollen on the car. My next choice would be the Phantom Gray. I like that color the best if I can't have red. I also like the silver and the white. I've seen a stock Indigo Ink, and I just thought it looked a little too much like a girl's color (no offense to any guys here who have that color). If I have to order the car, I may tell him to try for Phantom Gray first, but I'd take a Silver or White if they are available sooner. Hmmmmm......decisions.

ahem......what's wrong with blue? :?

ahem......what's wrong with blue? :?LOL...Nothing at all. It's just a matter of personal taste I guess. I only saw the blue one time in person. It was at night and it just didn't "do it for me". Maybe with some nice rims or in different light, I'd like it. Got pics?

here ya go. And was just givin ya a hard time :wink: http://www.scionlife.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1212&size=big&sort=1&cat=500I

Wow! I stand corrected. That car is sharp! Very nice wheels. See, I may not spend the money to do aftermarket rims right away. Stock tires and wheel covers looked the least offensive to me on the Phantom Gray. Good job on the car.

Thanks!

Axiom That is a nice clean looking xA, What suspention are you riding on? What size wheels are they they fill the fender very nicely

I have a Phantom Grey xA but color is all up to you. I spent about 20 mins looking at the xA's on the lot. They dident have a black but i am not a fan of black cars.. they look good but damm keeping them clean sucks.

Have fun with the new car matt_a

phantom grey is nice. i think i would've bought that color myself, but when we bought it, the car had just been out for a week, i think. not sure... and the dealership mostly had white and blue from what i remember. i didn't even see the grey color til way later on. it made me sad.

but hey, i like my car. the color can always be changed.

the red was my first choice then the grey or silver. I wanted dark wheels so I am glad I chose Phantom, but the white is nice with wheels and tint also. The only reason I don't like blue is here in Vegas colors tend to fade a bit. I don't find any of the colors offensive.

Staypuft, Thank you, It has Sprint two inch lowering springs with Devino 18's.

If you want to be special then go with the red. I don't see other colors stands out at all(myself include), and now is 2005 already, the only way I can tell the year difference is the red color. Lots of people on the waiting list when they first came out, now you have a chance you better take it. I like the RS alot, $2200 for wheels, sunroof and spoiler is a pretty nice deal and you don't have to bother for those mods. Just lower it and you're be set. Mine is black, even in the garage for a couple days there's dust. I know the consequences for the black, but I didn't regret my decision at all and I love the xA. My choices are black/white/ red. Good luck.

whatever color you get, its an xA, which is just plain kickass.
RS1 is awwwwesome

blue. blue and more blue

Blue, yeah yeah, definitely, definitely blue......I'm an excellent driver, yeah definitely.

Black is the most scariest color.

The meanest of all.

I chose silver because:

* Black is too hot and shows every speck of dust. You gotta be bold to drive black.

* White is nice and cool but shows mud.

* Indigo and cherry are beautiful but just aren’t me.

* Red was not available yet.

* I've had a brown car, a black car, a red car, and a white car. Been there, done those.

* Phantom, well, it was a close call between phantom and silver. I like them both.

In the end I went with silver because it’s light (thus cool in the sun) but just dark enough to hide both dust and mud pretty well. After two big snows and lots of mud afterward this month, my xA is filthy. But from a distance it looks clean. The magic of silver.

Also, silver cars in general sell better. Not that I’m planning to sell mine.

One more thing. I like the contrast between a light-colored car and dark windows. Tint on a black car looks cool because everything is black. Tint with a medium color (phantom, blue, cherry) sort of muddles the colors, in my opinion.

Short answer: As Pink Floyd would say, “Any Colour You Like.”

blue, silver, or phantom grey. as for me, im getting phantom grey

Short answer: As Pink Floyd would say, “Any Colour You Like.”I like silver too. The only reason I'm not getting that, is because the truck I'm about to sell is silver, and my wife's car is silver. I need a change. All things considered, it'll be the Phantom Gray.

ninja black

silver... :D with super gloss black and polished outer ring wheels... oh, smoked out headlights and taillights... hhmmmmm :mrgreen:

i got silver because i think its more original and shows the nice edges of the car

black is nice it makes the xA mean, but i am too lazy to clean twice a day!

red was not available, but its very attractive u can see it from far

if you are planning to do mods view pics from this site or ask for links...it will help to decide...

I dont know when you plan on purchasing-but Red does stand out the most, until the RS 2.0 in whatever blue comes out next year. There are proposals to nix the Phantom gray and replace it with Flint-and also the Black Cherry Pearl with Salsa Red.

But not until the 06 Model Year

marcelino

any way any color-cant go wrong with an xA

phantom grey, but the '06 flint mica would be irresistable

I.I.P. :wink:

i think you would look good in pink

Phantom grey is the shiznit. I would have gotten it had the xB come in that color... I got camo instead.... grey was almost worth getting an xA to me...

It's all about the Absolutely RED..... really the only bright color available and it sets the car apart... the other colors just don't do the xA justice, but i would have gone with the silver or IIP if the red wasn't an option

WHAAAAT!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is absolute SACRALIGE!!! WHAT THE HELL IS SCION DOING!?!?!?!!!!

I'm ABSOULUTELY INSULTED that Scion will come out with another red car the FOLLOWING YEAR after selling a "limited edition" red RS 1.0.

You know, I should have just gotten the hint when I saw the cheesy "limited edition" sticker, uh, I mean badge on the easiest to remove part of the dash. The F'n fuse cover. Not only is the sticker not somewhere in the center/middle/top, or easily seen by anyone sitting in the car or looking through the window,

It's stuffed in the lowest, farthest corner of the dash, on a f'n removable cover.

Am I f'n ____ed and insulted? Hell yes!

Would Chevy do this to their Corvette's, Camero's, Tahoe
s, Monte Carlo's, etc.?
Would Ford do this to their Mustang's or Explorer's?
Would Toyota do this to their Supra?
Would Nissan do this to their Z?
Would Subaru do this to their WRX?
Would Mitsubishi do this to their EVO?
Would Jeep do this to their Wrangler, or Grand Cherokee?

F'n Cry-on.inc and their "limited edition" cars.

i think you would look good in pinkheh...there might be a bunch of pink xAs in a few years. Around 1550 of them. :wink:

PINKKKKKKK... unfortunately, they dont come in pink... sooo, i got black cherry... :( i can see it now... pink xA sitting on some deepdish zelda rims... oh sry, im rambling... :D :D :D :D

Get Phantom Grey. =)

Although, Phantom Grey wasn't my first choice. In fact, in the beginning, I wanted Polar White or Black Sand. But, now that I've had my car for almost two weeks, I've grown to love Phantom Grey. Plus, you can't really tell if it's dirty. :D :lol: 8)

Salsa red is like a cranberry red-lighter version of BCP-not anywhere close to absolutely red

marcelino

and so far they are only proposals

because the xA has a rather poor air conditioner, a lighter color such as silver or white might help to keep it cooler. but the silver isn't too interresting. the blue is a nice color to me.
