I really have been waiting with my money debating between a honda fit and the supposed release series 3.0 for the xA. I waned to know when will it be released I was told before september by several dealerships but haven't heard about it. If it is not coming out in the next month I will probably end up purchasing a honda fit. Please give some information as to when it is coming out I have been waiting dilligently for any information from your company thank you

Sincerely

Scion owner/lover

 

We might as well accept the fact that the xA is over. It will be up to us to create the cult following the xB already has.

 

I dont know... there's been talk of Scion being buddy buddy lately with Kenstyle, Zillion has been hearing the same info. We dont know whether it will be 04/05 or 06 style kits. As for everything else... they just say that it's well worth waiting for... whatever that means.. :?

 

IF U CAN WAIT TILL FRIDAY YOULL SEE WHAT I ALREADY KNOW.. BUT I THINK U MIGHT WANNA WAIT TILL OCTOBER AND NOT GET A HONDA >THATS ALL ILL SAY!

 

Yep. I haven't heard specifics... but I have heard Kenstyle more than a couple times from different sources.

I've heard its going to be pretty ridiculous, hopefully as good, or better than the RS1.

Subject: '06 Scion xA Release Series 3.0 Pricing Announcement

Toyota Motor Sales, USA is pleased to announce pricing for the Scion xA Release Series 3.0, the third in a series of limited edition vehicles for xA. Pricing will be made available to the public on Sept. 15, 2006.

xA Release Series 3.0
xA has attracted buyers who epitomize the essence of youth, spirit and overall "fun-ness." xA is a unique representation of these characteristics. The new xA Release Series 3.0 will further contribute to the overall vibrant and innovative styling, enhancing xA's position as a leader in the small car segment.

All of the xA Release Series 3.0 vehicles will feature an ultra cool and fresh - new to the United States market - Stingray Metallic light blue exterior color, which is complemented by refreshing interior and exterior enhancements including:

• Uniquely developed KenStyle front & rear ground effects
• Color keyed rear spoiler
• Color tuned seat fabric
• Release Series wheel covers
• Radar intrusion sensor-equipped Security system
• XM Satellite Radio Tuner with Cover, includes 3 month subscription
• Individually numbered xA Release Series badging

Only 2,100 units of the xA Release Series 3.0 will be produced. They will begin arriving at Scion dealerships in October 2006. The xA Release Series 3.0 package will further enhance the unbeatable xA value postion with a MSRP of only $1,840.
Even with the unique and distinctive features listed above, the xA equipped with the Release Series 3.0 package is at a substantial discount to its more pedestrian competitors.

• $550 less than the 2007 Honda Fit S
• Nearly $2,400 less than the 2007 VW Rabbit

 

This is straight from Scion, and what everyone will be seeing on the 15th. You will want to see this car and how the color looks with the KenStyle kit. I would suggest anyone looking/comparing anything else to hold off. You won't be dissappointed.

 

Thanks for the update!!!!!

 

That's pretty cool. Looks like the teaser shot we had of the color on here a few weeks back was right. I'm not a big fan of the xA personally, but I'm pretty pumped to see the "uniquely designed" kit for it. And to see how the color actually looks on the car.

 

whoa..... i love my tc.. i love my tc.. i love my tc.....

crap.. no money to have both... AGH!!!

 

Hmm.
