UPDATED: AUGUST 18th 2004

Toyota Motor Sales, USA is pleased to announce pricing for the Scion xA
Release Series 1.0. The Release Series 1.0 will now include a +size 17" Enkei Alloy Wheel with a 205/40R17 Yokohama Avid H4S tire. This tremendous addition will allow Scion to further distinguish the brand and showcase the unique styling of the xA.

xA Release Series 1.0
The xA Release Series 1.0 is the second in a series of limited edition
vehicles for Scion and will offer several unique interior and exterior
enhancements. This distinctive package will attract image conscious buyers
to xA while providing continued support for xA sales momentum.

All xA Release Series 1.0 vehicles have a bright new body color, Super Red,
plus a sports grille and color keyed rear spoiler. A power tilt and slide
moonroof, plus vehicle stability control with traction control also enhance
the xA Release Series' sporty styling and "fun to drive" image.
:arrow: The exterior is rounded out with aggressively styled 17" Enkei Alloy Wheels with a 205/40R17 Yokohama Avid H4S tire.

Interior enhancements are designed to complement the Super Red exterior
color. The xA will be further distinguished with a subtle, black seat
fabric with red highlights, along with red lighting in the center storage
compartment. Finally, individually numbered xA Release Series badging will
be applied to the interior of each Release Series car.

Only 1,550 units of the xA Release Series 1.0 will be available, and will
begin arriving at Scion dealerships in October. The xA Release Series
1.0 package will NOW carry an MSRP of $2,200.[/b]

don't know, but that would seem logical although i am not sure if they would sell like the xB.

03-21-2004, 03:43 PM
I hope the xA version will have a body kit, and bigger wheels. :D

I haven't heard anything about anymore RS series for Scion as of now. I can check with my Regional Mgr. this week to see if there is anything in the makings.

It would be nice though if each model came out with an RS series. Mix it up a little, and get the customers more enthused with each model.

Been dreaming about getting this car since my girlfriend's best friend got an ist in Japan. I drove it, and fell in love with it. Her brother works for Autobachs and of course the ride was hooked up VIP. Then I go back to Cali (I grew up in Inglewood, by LAX) and see one of my homies rollin an xB...

Im stuck here in STL though, and no one here has seen an xA, xB. But the toyota dealer has 2 demos down the street and after I test drove em both, I like the xA because of handling. I think it would make a sweet car to trick out and judging by what I saw back home in cali, and even down in the ATL (2nd home) it would be rare to see a hooked up xA when they do drop here in Nellyville. But now I guess I should wait for the RED one!

BTW Im a long time lurker, but in value you guys' input. keep them Scions rollin!

A special edition xA would be pretty cool but I want to custom paint my bright blue anyways and silver just seems kinda cool for now. Not enough on it from what I've heard to convince me to get a red car or wait longer than I already have.

Hey Hugh, any guesses on when it may be available? I was in your shop about a month back and test drove your xA. I'll be getting one in about 1-2 months, but if the RS is coming out relatively soon (sometime this summer) i'll hold off and get that!

Todd,

You should give me a call in regards to the release series. If it's anything like the first one the car will be sold out nearly by the time of its release. In the meantime i will get in touch with corporate and find out when i can start taking orders for these. If you need some supplement in the meantime i can send you pictures of the grille style and what not.

Peace,

Hugh

how much more is it?

is the interior appolstry going to change?

How do you place a reserve for the vehicle (my dealership probably won't even know what I'm talking about).

I'm interested, but the whole red thing turns me off.

Any word if this RS comes with side airbags :)?

Unless it has a better engine or something it doesn't seem like anything to care that much about. If they started making performance models with 1ZZs or something than that would be cool, but just colors and stupid options don't make me want to go out and buy one.

Also, traction control will be standard on the RS2. Scion does have plans for a Release Series tC, but that's all I've heard so far on it. Oddly, TRD tires/wheels have been left out of the package, although I guess it was the same with the lava. I'll keep nagging our inventory guy for more info.

Not much more to add, so I figured that I would just post the press release from Toyota. This should clear everything up. Oh, and production is limited to 1550 for the entire country.

Toyota Motor Sales, USA is pleased to announce pricing for the Scion xA
Release Series 1.0. Pricing will be made available to the public on July
20th.

xA Release Series 1.0
The xA Release Series 1.0 is the second in a series of limited edition
vehicles for Scion and will offer several unique interior and exterior
enhancements. This distinctive package will attract image conscious buyers
to xA while providing continued support for xA sales momentum.

All xA Release Series 1.0 vehicles have a bright new body color, Super Red,
plus a sports grille and color keyed rear spoiler. A power tilt and slide
moonroof, plus vehicle stability control with traction control also enhance
the xA Release Series' sporty styling and "fun to drive" image.

Interior enhancements are designed to complement the Super Red exterior
color. The xA will be further distinguished with a subtle, black seat
fabric with red highlights, along with red lighting in the center storage
compartment. Finally, individually numbered xA Release Series badging will
be applied to the interior of each Release Series car.

Only 1,550 units of the xA Release Series 1.0 will be available, and will
begin arriving at Scion dealerships in late August. The xA Release Series
1.0 package will carry an MSRP of $1,395.

I can ask questions to the region if anyone has them. LATER

WagenMaster
07-16-2004, 09:34 PM
Wow. I didn't think they'd be arriving so soon. Only more than a month away...
I expect the seats will be just like the R.S. 1.0's orange-highlighted seats......in red they're gonna look hot.
Looking forward to seeing the final product on Scion's website soon.

Just placed my deposit here in SLC, they are preferencin' Monday, and I should know by Friday if I got the one with the factory installed options I'm looking for. My dealer called his regional sales rep to find out what the deal was (he wasn't aware that it was going to be released this soon) and the sales rep told him that each dealer will only be getting one, larger markets (Ca, etc) may get more per dealer but he couldn't be more specific.

So now I'm just waiting on my 2005 RS 1.0 XA, with side airbags. There are only 5 Scion dealers in Utah, so by that logic I'll be getting one of only 5 in the state.

Now for the hardest part... waiting.

Since it's gonna have the Kenstyle grille (which I've been wanting forever), does this mean that it's possible to order just that part through the dealer? I'm just trying to find a way to get the grille for a decent price, and I've only seen it online for about $399...

I thought they might have made a new mix of red, since it was going to be a limited edition car, such as the Hot Lava paint color was made for the limited Xb.

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forums, but had to join up to get in touch with the Scion crowd. I just put a down payment on an RS xA at Advantage Toyota-Scion in Barboursville, WV. As someone said in an earlier post...this is the hard part. The waiting. They tell me the end of August. Wonder if I could meet it in Jersey and get it a few days earlier? :)

I'm hoping to post pictures when I get it. I'm guessing it'll be up here with all the other pictures of the RS. ;)

I can't wait to start driving this thing. I loved the test drive. I just happened to be in the market for a gas sipper and wandered into the Scion dealer at the perfect time. Looking forward to being a proud owner of a new Scion. (My first new car BTW) Talk to you all soon!

Hey All...

I placed a "preference" with my dealer for a new RS 1.0 xA last week, and I just got a call from him saying that they just found out that there aren't going to be any with side airbags made!

I guess I just have to do without them. Hopefully I won't ever get into an accident where it would have been good to have them anyway! :D

That is odd seeing that the RS 1.0 is just like a added option. I dont see why they cant add it in? Maybe someone else could shed some light on this.

I was told the price for the package was $1395. However I've heard roomers that the new price was $2200. Anybody else know anything?

The price of $2200 is correct. Scion has added 17" Enkei wheels with Yokohama Avid H4S tires to the RS package.

anybody got pics of the wheels...anyway...id rather get a stock color and do a repaint for 2200....imma get better wheels anyway...maybe ill just take my dep and buy a normal one and flip it out....

the beauty of these cars is the bare concept and blank canvas...why all of a sudden these weaka$$ options are comming with the car?... i think its dumb!!!

i just might have to take my deposit back and just get a regular xA :cry:

Here's the latest info I have. My dealer says the price is still around $1400 for the package. There is the possibility that other dealers are adding options, such as wheels, and pricing their RS1.0's accordingly. Is this whats happening?

If the price is around $1400 its a good deal. An aftermarket sunroof for and XB is $1500. With the RS1.0 you also get the rear spoiler (list for $385) and you get traction control and ABS. I could only guess what that would cost if it was an option on the XA. So it's not just the color or the grill you get with the package. How many of you would spend $1500 for a factory sunroof if you had the option?

By the way. The 17"Enkei's list as an option for $1650. So even if you have to pay $2200 with the wheels its a good price. 2200 - 1400 = 800 for a set of 17's.
Not bad.

major thing for me was color = factory red paint for 1395 is a deal, but for 2200 i can get a full custom show winning paint job...just my 2 pennies...the sunroof thing is a good deal, if you care for it, same as the other options...the most expensive and biggest difference is still the paint....

Yeah, and the sad thing is, just the paint alone shouldn't be a $1395 option - the red is a standard JDM color.

Forget the red paint. The traction control along with the sunroof and the rear spoiler make the RS1.0 worth $1395. The red paint just sets it off from other XA's.

For all of you wanting to get the RS 1.0 XA and have not noticed the updated price and the addition of the 17's Enkei.

Make sure to check the first post on this Thread or go to www.scion.com

You think we could talk Scion into throwing in a free set of TRD springs?

How about it Scion?

$800 for a set of 17's is not bad, but it would even be sweeter with a set of TRD springs. All those options for $2200 would be nice.

Just got word from my dealer that my xA RS 1.0 is due in port on the 23rd of September. I should have it a few days after that of course. Almost a 2 month wait is not an easy thing to do, but it IS a special edition, so I'll keep telling myself that. I placed my order on Ausust 3rd. Man, I hope my current car holds out until it gets here.

Curious how many your dealership got? Looks like I see at least one in the background of one of your pictures. Are they all spoken for already? I have one on order already, but I am curious how many are actually going to be sitting in dealership lots, or if almost all of them are already sold to a waiting customer. What do you think?

an RS 1.0 xA just arrived at the dealership this morning (#40, MT). i must say it looks pretty damn good in person. but, its just screaming to be lowered. whoever decided to change from the TRD wheels to the enkei wheels deserves a promotion/raise, or at least a hardy bonus. :lol:

Hurricane Francis delayed the arrival of ours. It arrived at port in Jacksonville Friday. We should get it toward the end of this week. I'm having cruise control and keyless entry added. By the way, it is a 5 speed. We plan on adding tint and springs at a latter date.

Stuff Magazine Ad...

Well I don't know if this is a repost or not, I've tried searching a few key words and nothing solid has come up--this is a real world ad that is on shelves now...

xA by Release Series: Available September 2004.

One of 1550

(Picture a Red xA with 18" TRDs)

Absolutely Red Paint
Absolutely Red Rear Spoiler
Absolutely Red Sport Grille
Moonroof
Red Storage Box Illumination
Individually Numbered Badging
Exclusive Interior Fabric
VSC and Traction Control

There hasn't been a better time to want an xA...I think they did a way better job with this one, considering it has things that are actually benificial over the regular xA, such as Moonroof AND VSC and Traction control...how badass is that?

First one arrived in Houston today. It was #82. I told a friend about it a couple months ago and he put down a deposit. The windows are being tinted tomorrow morning and he picks it up in the afternoon.

I was right next door at Kohl's when it came in and I had to drive over and check it out. I love that red. I think I would add the red steering wheel and the different tail lights and that would be about it. It could be lowered (and that is something I NEVER say) but not too much.

When he wrote the check for this one, he put his deposit down on a tC. I would love to see the tC in that red.

Just had lunch with 4 other coworkers. They were average size... not fat nor skinny.. 5'6" to 5'10". The 3 of them who sat in the bad said it was quite comfortable. hahha.. :D They were amazed that I got the car for under 17k.

What they didn't know is that I was kinda amazed that the car can still move swiftly with 5 adults in the car. One of them actually asked if this is a 4-cylinder or 6.... lolz~!!! I guess the Redness plus the sport look and the not-too-shabby acceleration with 5 adults got him the wrong impression... hehehe :lol:

Now I better remember to get some wheel locks for my baby, just like my coworker suggested.

This fatbastard loves his new baby. Now his doggie better keep her innocent little paws away from the car.. or some one is going get skin~!!!! lolzzz.. 8)
