DJ_SpaRky 04-24-2004, 03:47 PM Am I the only one who DOESN'T like the Hot Lava color??
The RS Idea is cool, but I can't stand that orange. :cry:
:twisted: Don't flame, I'm not knocking it, just stating I don't like it & want to know if I'm the only one :twisted:

Docsnuff 04-24-2004, 03:49 PM To each his own...thats why they offer different colors!

qualityscion 04-24-2004, 04:10 PM That is why the xA is coming in a different color! :shock: :lol:
arullier 04-24-2004, 04:18 PM dude, i've been saying that since they first came out...
not that they are ugly but unless it has a confederate flag and goes by the name general lee...i aint digging it
scionracerxb 04-24-2004, 04:19 PM it looks ok in pictures, but in person.....it leaves something to be desired....it looks kinda bronze in person. i like my BCP better :wink:

Carlanga 04-24-2004, 04:25 PM Qualityscion, what do you mean by the xA is coming in another color? Which one is? I want to know. :(
blkbx 04-24-2004, 04:27 PM I saw one at a meet and it looked like it was out place. I love the XB but that color on the XB Just looks off.

Cybergypsy 04-24-2004, 05:38 PM Orange is ok but it muted......bright would have been better..thing a bright red would be awesome :lol:
xBassist 04-24-2004, 06:20 PM I would've bought the RS1 in a heartbeat if it had been tangellow :twisted:
bah, could not find a pic of the color, but I think its made by House of Kolor... And it was the color they painted the Ford Ranger on "pimp my ride"
nm... here's a pic

mikochu 04-24-2004, 06:24 PM I think, for a limited edition, there is a lot going around. The hot lava color is a bit bland at night, as well. *shrug*, I liked the color when I saw pics of it...but now that I see it, it's ehhhh.
xBassist 04-24-2004, 06:25 PM oh, oops... as for the question at hand... I love the hot lava, but the camo was my favored color... But again, if the RS had came in tangellow instead, I would be regretting buying the camo ;P
TheScionicMan 04-24-2004, 06:55 PM Yeah Camo rules! And probably rarer than Hot Lava...8)
I think the Hot Lava actually looks better in person than in most of the pics I've seen.
ghost 04-24-2004, 10:46 PM House of Kolor makes Tangelo Pearl.
I love Hot Lava, but if I could get something more ripe orange in color, I would want it more. :)

I don't violently dislike it, but my feeling is that the color looked about the same on the Element and on several other cars. Big deal, it's orange! I don't really see what the fuss is about.

scionxbny 04-25-2004, 03:06 AM You got to have a sense of humor to drive this car and the whole HOT LAVA aspect requires a sense of humor to appreciate...and I do personally. But I went with the Thundercloud Gray Myself, easier to keep clean.
its_ikon 04-25-2004, 04:28 AM a lot of people don't like the orange. it is not a color for everyone. don't worry you won't get flamed for having a opinion.
The_Zeeness 04-25-2004, 05:17 AM I was originally going with silver, but when I saw the hot lava, it just clicked. I never thought I would, but I got it. I personally like the color... However, any car that's orange is bound to attract all sorts of opinions. It's an acquired taste :p
Out of all the people I know I would say 50/50 are for/against the color. You are certainly not alone.
Max2k 04-25-2004, 05:35 AM It's an OK color, but the hype around it is kind of ridiculous.
dgHotLava 04-25-2004, 05:49 AM for me the other colors were to dark (blue,red,blk,camo) and silver,white were to light.
so it came down to the lava, but hell it could have been green or yellow or even pink and i would have bought it.

I personally don't like the color, but then I always think to myself "There are people who actually purchased a Pontiac Aztec without a gun to their head!" which makes me realize that peoples tastes vary DRASTICALLY.
JESSR 04-25-2004, 09:10 PM Say what you wanna say Hot Lava Xb is the Bomb then its the Thunder cloud...
mikochu 04-25-2004, 09:24 PM I love orange. I think the Hot Lava is too "burnt," though. Also, if I got an orange car...I wouldn't hear the end of some female friends calling me "Tangeriny."
Bicepeak 04-25-2004, 09:54 PM Say what you wanna say Hot Lava Xb is the Bomb then its the Thunder cloud...
As long as we are on color, I would have bought the Desert Sand Mica as on the Matrix, if it were availiable. But I do love my Thundercloud.

It all depends on the lighting. It has many different shades depending on lighting and time of day. "Burnt" is one of them.
ncscion 04-26-2004, 03:16 AM the lava is a cool color. it is what sold me on the xb. i felt the colors they offered were to bland for something so unique. people talk ____ everyday about the color sometimes good most times bad. do i care? no. i was gonna get the camo but decided on the orange only b/c camo seemed so plan.
iamslow 04-27-2004, 02:02 PM The only reason I got the HL was because I had to wait for an xb either way, the dealership didn't have any 5spds in so I was waiting. I figured it might as well be for the HL since it would be my only chance to get one. I would really like a red one. BCP was next and then BSP, I think TCM is too common and donesn't look that great. Reminded me of my stealth tho just newer paint.
scionmilktruck 04-27-2004, 03:07 PM Honestly, I was really hyped waiting for my Hot Lava for a month. I looked at the magazine ad everyday until it finally came. When I saw it that night at the dealership I thought to myself...that's it??? :shock: I waited for a month for this? :shock: I almost cancelled the order. The next morning I went to pick it up and it was a totally different hue. Now that's the car I saw in the ad!!! :D So as long as the sun is out the paint is brilliant. :wink:
JanusFive 04-27-2004, 03:10 PM I'm not a huge fan, either. Was thinking of one, 'till I saw it was kind of a 'burnt' orange. I was wanting a bright orange. Got a silver instead.
wazzup7 04-27-2004, 11:32 PM As long as I can make the color WORK, it's all good. :D
I'm getting the HotLava for it's VALUE.
Pricing a normal xB with those options would cost almost a grand more, plus, it's NUMBERED... helping out the resale value.
I'm a little bummed about the fact that it's not really the ORANGEST car on the streets as advertised.. I've seen pontiacs on the streets just as orange..
The interior was a let down too, but problem solved with two-tone Wet Okoles'
zep131 04-29-2004, 05:58 AM i saw the hot lava twice once it was in the sun light the other on a rainy day it looked better on the rainy day i dunno if it was cause it looked darker or the rims but in the sun light i didnt like it i love the onyx blue,and camo
