Exclamation Scion Unveils the 2012 xD RS 4.0 and XB RS 9.0.

The light up badges on the xB are kinda cool but the xD is kinda weak IMO. The color of the paint is just awesome (I would trade in my super white xD just for the color alone) but other then that all we get some special floor mats and some interior badges.

Because they don't hear our DEMANDS so we can't SUPPLY them with our business till then. If they do like a trd edition like they did with the tc then maybe

I just happend to be on the Scion website and saw this earlier. I thought the Hot Lava was an awesome xD color, and it looks just as awesome on the xB. Not sold on the new xD RS though.

They both suck, the only thing that's nice is the seats on the xB. Other than that they should just stop cause they haven't done anything to the release series that's OOHH SWEET and that's in all the models. The only one that was really worth it was the TRD RS5 tC

When Will (phatchef) texted me today to tell me that the new RS9.0 was gonna be Hot Lava I was like "I want." Then I got home and pulled them up on the Scion website and was very disappointed...I love the color, always been a fan favorite of the Hot Lava, but what were they thinking? There's nothing really "special" about it other than the interior which I do like but i would rather throw a nice set Clazzio's on instead...I kinda like the light up emblem but the SCION in the lower portion of the grill is a big no no...Include the spoiler, and do a kick a$$ body kit with fogs...

Don't like the RS4 xD...Best RS xD so far has to be the RS1 hands down...

YO Rockland, is there any way to switch out the acc. outlets from the 3.5mm aux and separate scion proprietary iPod plug to the later model combo outlet with 3.5mm aux and USB input? Like the rs4 xd here. Would it be something like this? http://www.trdparts4u.com/scripts/pr...product=326687
Or am I stuck?

Probably the only thing that makes them limited is the small plastic badge lol. Toyota must make a killing on the RS profit wise.

white? yuck. that color not my thing. the interior stitching is a nice touch but again i'd prefer a different color. the doo doo brown RS 3.0 was sexier by far imo
