I have been reading these boards for a while, and I decided I want to get an xA... If i could find the one I wanted then I would get it... but all dealers in the Northeast are out of Phantom Grey pearl scion xA's that are manual... In fact i couldent even test drive a standard yet... very bummed :(

Phantom Grey is very popular. You can either wait, or buy another cool color like Indigo Ink Pearl or Polar White :D

Fact of the matter is that they just aren't making as many standards as they used to. Most people want automatic transmission now a days. I'd say for every 10 Scions at the dealership, 1 was a standard. There are only 11 polar white, manual tranny xAs out of all the xAs available in the 5 closest states! They have to transport mine from the port at Jacksonville, FL.


I'll stick with my stick, tyvm! :wink:

I went with a black one because I could not get 5spd in phantom grey.

We have an automatic phantom grey 2004 at our dealer that has been there for months. I feel bad for it, someone please buy it and love it.

part of the problem lies in how far from your location your dealer is willing to search for the model and color you want. i went to three dealers in the boston area and got three different answers to my question of how long it would take to get the color/options i wanted. my dealer was able to secure a phantom gray with manual and side air bags (a requirement for me) in two weeks. the two other dealers i visited couldn't come close to a delivery time that fast.

Get IIP :lol: , but I think most of them are auto though

but chose a Polar White 5spd, my dealer (Price Scion in New Castle, DE) had to get it from a dealer in Lancaster, PA. Took 2 days before I had the car once I told him what I wanted. Good luck with your search and your new xA (once you get it of course)!

I test drove an auto and bought a 5 sp. No regrets! The 5sp. blows doors on the auto.

yeah 5 speed for sure. I wanted an Indigo Ink but would have had to wait 6 more weeks for a manual...autos are everywhere. I am really happy with the silver, it goes perfect with flat silver rims.

i got a 5 spd PGP but then again i purchased it in february and even then they had to search for it

they told me my polar white with a stick is 5 to 7 weeks out. but i will wait because why settle for something you dont want

I waited 6 weeks for my 5-speed Indigo Ink-Pearl w/ side-curtain airbags.

For some reason the 18" TRD wheels would have pushed it back another month or two?? So I'll buy aftermarket wheels.

I got a grey manual this week, but had to call 14 dealerships to find it. 4 manuals out of all of those dealerships.

i wanted black and got phantom grey because if was in mississippi and they could get it to arkansas for me... sorry if i stole it from you but i love it and it's a standard also

patients my friend...your time will come...hahah...sorry...

my friend has a polar white xA 5 speed.


the phantom color is a really sick color, i wish they made it for xB's....
