Does anyone know when Scion will come out with this series and what color it will be? I want an 08...but the colors at this moment suck balls! :rofl:

I'm very desappoited with the colors and only one back up light in the left rear bumper.I was ready to buy one until din't like any of the colors and the abnormal looking of the back up light.i wiil wait until they come up with the rs5.0 series,i have a hot lava right now and i'm very please with it,it looks like 3 years ago when i bought it.can't wait to know about the new series,ATT: KOOLBOX from North Palm Beach.

I got a RS2 and was wondering the same thing. I might buy a RS5 if the color is right. I lov my yellow!

I think it will be red or blue. we will see what happens.... I agree with you the color are boring....they should have given us super red, hot lava, yellow bright colors....

I agree the colors aren't that great, there not that bad either, just alot of more of teh same. I hoping the Teal looking color pops in the daylight. I' hoping for a ultra-plush or voilet purple

Also I think some should look at the other RS Thread.

At the Atlanta Backstage event this past Friday, the info desk told me that the inside
rumor for the xB2 RS (5?) is that it will be the gold used on the 5 axis prototype.

If that is true I am all over it...I love that color and was hoping it was going to be a stock color.... :lalala: :lalala:

My wife is ready to trade her RS 3.0, and I'm betting on it coming with the 5axis body kit as well.

In another thread, the guy from 5-axis explained how they made that color, and dropped a hint by saying something to the effect of:"Because of the tinted clearcoat, the color, in it's current form, is not YET production-friendly"

I am just paraphrasing, but I assumed the first RS would be a similar color ever since I read that comment.

i'll second this...was talking with a scion regional rep at a big meet.
one of the people there was thinking about buying it and painting it the gold 5axis color...
then the rep said it was a nice color...who knows it might be used for a release series.

(the person thinking of doing this got his dreams shot down...why would he buy something, then pay to repaint it a special color, only to have scion release it later and take away the special-ness of it...)

but the bigger question...when would the release series be available??

I would assume they'd start off with release series 1.0 again. but I may be wrong.

gold isnt going to happen unless Toyota already uses it on another vehicle.

Wait, why do you say that? I don't recall seeing green envy, hot lava, torched penny, etc on any other Toyota product...

www.toyota.co.jp those colors are there. at least I know torched penny is .

When I was in Japan last fall, I saw a lot of paint colors that
should be offered here but aren't.

Wait, why do you say that? I don't recall seeing green envy, hot lava, torched penny, etc on any other Toyota product...

All of those colors are or were available overseas. There's about a 98% chance Toyota won't do the 5Axis orange, because the color isn't proven for the test of time.

Betting money says it the new RS will be a color that Toyota already uses elsewhere. They might have a shade that is close elsewhere, and might use it tho.

Japan is a lot more experimental with color than the US for many reasons, but chief among them is that the Japanese don't keep cars for 4+ years.

i think it's funny that THAT color isn't proven yet ALL current scion paint is of garbage quality.

Well, that didn't take as long as thought it might.

It's the clearcoat that Scion has had issues with, not the paint itself.

There's been no word on it, but I think a lot of the paint "issues" here have been blown out of proportion. Lot's of folks don't know that all clear coat will scratch, and that all black cars will show swirlies when not washed with care.

For the record, I've seen loads of Scions come in as trades, and I haven't noticed any paint issues with them.

Well, that didn't take as long as thought it might.

It's the clearcoat that Scion has had issues with, not the paint itself. for me . scion clearcoat leads to scratches from just looking at it wrong
the clearcoat can be saved for the most part by using microfiber and only microfiber for washing , drying , waxing , EVERY thing that touches the paint.
as well as using a high quality polish.

BUT the real issue for me is chips

the paint itself chips more and easier than any of the 6 or 7 cars i've owned before , during and probably into the future.

both

How long did it take for them to put out the first RS release for the first XB. The only issue left for me is the color. Not a big fan of any of the current colors. The only colors I have seen in person are the white and the dark blue.

My brother has the orange XB1. I don't remember when it came up relative to the original release. For XB1, the only colors I liked were the RS colors.

I am going to wait and see the teal in person and depending on how it looks, I might wait to see what they come out with for the first RS.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I just checked with a local dealer and they did have a teal so I went out to take a look at lunchtime.

It looks a lot better in person then in the pictures. So if I don't wait for the RS then its Teal. Need to show the wife and kid the car. My kid's favorite color is Teal, so I suspect that once she sees it,

Next week is our local backstage. I am waiting for that event first before making a final decision.

Speedway blue! :lalala:

I agree the colors aren't that great, there not that bad either, just alot of more of teh same. I hoping the Teal looking color pops in the daylight. I' hoping for a ultra-plush or voilet purple

Also I think some should look at the other RS Thread. sorry to disapoint but Hypnotic Teal DOESN'T pop out in the sun. Its a bland color. And I was gonna get that color too. :tap:

I found this color list. I wish it had pics next to the colors. 123 colors here. Which will be the next RS color? :ponder:

There's a bilboard on the 405 Freeway in So Cal that shows a dark red XB. So maybe Salsa Red or similar.

I wouldn't hold your breath... Scion won't be coming out with an '08 Release Series.

I wouldn't hold your breath... Scion won't be coming out with an '08 Release Series.
Are you sure?

yep

based on what information. I am stuck trying to decide between buying a Teal one now or wait to see what the RS is.

I wouldn't hold your breath... Scion won't be coming out with an '08 Release Series.

Well, aren't you just the little trouble maker.

The RS1 was released just before the xB hit the East Coast, yet the xB was already out in Cali for almost a year. I actually joined SL just as i put in my deposit on a BCP Nov of '03. A few months later i found out that there was an orange color coming out. The RS1 didnt hit port until late March of '04 ... where the Scion brand was on dealers lot a month earlier ( Feb '04 ). As you can see, half the country already had the xB for a year before Toyota had the press release for the RS1. Several owners traded theirs in on the left coast for the RS1.

Will Scion do a RS series for the new xB and xD ... sure they will. But they want to get them out the door first. If sales are slugish, they may rush the process. If sales are good, they may take their time and put together a nice package as a RS1. IMO it needs to be a RS1 and not a RS5 only because its a new body design. Yeah its still called a xB ... but nothing is shared between the 2 cept the Scion badge.

And going back to what i have said somewhere here on SL ... i did hear rumors that the Golden Pear that is currently on the 5 Axis xB2 would quite possibly be the first color for the release series.

BUT .... be prepared for pay for what you get in that release series. All the other RSs have sold quickly even with a high price for all the goodies. My RS was only an additional $980 ... where as some of the RS packages have tacked on almost 3 times as much in price, and havent offered nearly as much as the RS1 package has.

Trouble maker? Ok, whatever you say. Heard it from a reputable source, so w/e. They will eventually do one, just not this year since the new model came out.

i a it will be camo and will release late june

Hot Lava is a posibility but gold isnt, from what I heard a while back.

Black Chrome would be nice......

IMO it needs to be a RS1 and not a RS5 only because its a new body design..
i Agree.

And going back to what i have said somewhere here on SL ... i did hear rumors that the Golden Pear that is currently on the 5 Axis xB2 would quite possibly be the first color for the release series.
i heard that too, but i think it was from you. lol

I wouldn't hold your breath... Scion won't be coming out with an '08 Release Series.

Well, aren't you just the little trouble maker.

Thats not what i heard. I know some things. Lets say there is hope :-)

also not going back to the paint an all, but they can come up with color by mixing colors that have already been out on cars for years to make new colors. That is how they come up with some of the odd end colors because they have already been tested.

I asked and this was the answer from Scion.
"The xB will probably arrive sometime late spring/early summer". Still not sure on color tho.
RS models in order will be the tC, xB and then the xD.

this was a discussion that was had with one of the Scion Reps.

they eluded to this being a strong contender for the RS.

but also note that this was before the launch and things do change...lol

very true.

i heard from a bird that gold is a high possibility.

2009 Subaru scion collaboration
Tag Links: Subaru, Tribeca, Scion


As reported before, Scion is looking to add more models to its lineup. Ever since Scion was founded in 2003, it has stayed true to offering only three models. Well now Toyota is planning to use its influence in Subaru and may rebadge a Subaru Tribeca as Scion SUV to join the tC, xB and xA.

According Automotive News, a Japanese magazine shows a picture of a Scion “xTribeca” idea in its latest issue. A spy photo shows a Tribeca-like vehicle diguised for testing with a badge on the grille that resembles Scion’s.

Since 2005, Toyota has owned an 8.7 percent stake in Subaru’s parent company... Read

The Subaru Tribeca starts at $30,000. How would that be marketable as a Scion?

i would love the 5axis gold color...

hmm...i need a paintjob anyway.
anyone know the color code for the golden pear?

there is no color code because its not a production color...yet.

I just spoke with Scion and was told that nothing official has been stated or planned for the 08 xB.

However, they did make it a point to say:

"typically, there has been a release series for each year..."

So then I asked if there was a release series for the 08 when would it show up.

I was told:

"typically, the release series shows up before the next year model"


Sooooooooooooo.....

Would that mean a 08 release would show up before the 09's roll out in late summer/early fall?

That would mean something within first/second quarter 08 right?

I'm going nuts on this because I'm about to pull the trigger for a new xB...trading my wife's current Release 3. But I'd hate to do so if the cooler series comes out a few months later...specially if it's that sweet Five Axis kit in gold...

It should be here arround the end of January/February and is some sort of Blue.....

I have my bet on Gold. I preference vehicles for our dealership, and one of the color options is Gold, however at this time we are not able to select it.

Probably have said too much, but there you go.

I found out it will be realy close to the axis 5 gold color.....for sure......

Any info on equipment?

The Scion Xb 5.0 Will be gold. it's aready on the allocation to order color code is 0580.
arriving in January.........

i was just about to say the same thing. It is now available to select for allocations but they will not take yet. I wish I could get some info on accessories though.

We should merge this with the other Realease series thread but,

The color code is 580 as has been said and is officially called: Gold Rush Mica. As of right now, the regional scion rep I spoke to is only commiting to a "late 4th quarter" arrival due to some "negotiations".

My guess all along has been that the RS will be a replica of the 5 axis Xb (body kit, and fog lights) shown at launch. (minus wheels of course)

There's another thread on this.
http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=194783&sid=2dc32ef0e2ef1fda4bb136003fa0cab3
If it's this 580 Gold, then yuck.
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a55/jokerkid613/91603_ext.jpg

I agree, that is a bad color.

You can't judge how good /awful this color will be until you see it person. I know I didn't think the blue on the tC RS 2 was great until I saw in person.

EL_Chapitan,
[/quote]My guess all along has been that the RS will be a replica of the 5 axis xb (body kit, and fog lights) shown at launch. [/quote]

Hopefully some of that will be true. I'm not to hot on the fogs but the kit is smoking. Another great option I would like to see in the next xB RS would be a Sunroof or skylites like in the 2tB concept.

Actually, I got confirmation that it will be the 5-axis gold. And it will be out before the end of the year. Sometime in December. So spread the word.

Who's your source for this confirmation? Did you get other details, like performance addons and such?

Actually, I got confirmation that it will be the 5-axis gold. And it will be out before the end of the year. Sometime in December. So spread the word.

Confirmation in what form, from where?

Definitely unofficial, but it was put in no uncertain terms as to color and release. Same performance, but with a sunroof, and gold. Don't know whether it will have the 5-axis kit or not, but should be bad ___. Source is a higher up from Scion, and I can't give away the identity or I will have to relocate them and their families for safety purposes.

I am new to SL.

I was to be picking up my xB2 today and saw this thread. So, I asked someone that I know that handles allocations at a Toyota Dealership. Here's their quote:

"The Release Series is listed as an option in the preference as well as
the gold color but the newest TVO/November as well as the list of normal
configurations does not list it. That means that at the earliest they
won't be allocated till the first December allocation with arrival the
end of December. When the December TVO comes out I will know more, that
should be over the next week or so."

If thid RS xB2 is anything like the 08 FJ Cruiser, the new colors appeared in the preference list more than a month before the dealership could complete the TVO. Then it was just over another month before dealerships started getting them around here.

I think I will go ahead and get the Blackberry Crush today and if the wife likes the new RS color & spec, then we may get it too.

I still have a VIP that I can call to see if any more info can be had. I think I can still get some good info from him & try to get early specs on the newest RS xB

I have a RS 1.0, and I love it. But frankly i'm just tired of having the same car.

I'm still very much on the fence about the xB2. Something about it..... I just can't put my finger on it, just doesn't look right. No offense to any owners by any means.... Just rambleing.
IMO every new B should have come with the body kit on the 5 axis car, or something similar. Its supposed to be boxy!
I'll wait and see what the RS comes out with.

I was fortunate enough to see the 5 axis car in Miami, and I would probably go for that gold as well...But only if it comes with a body kit. Otherwise, i'm selling my RS, and deciding what I want next......


What do you think? Mini Cooper S or a bagged Chevy Dually? LOL.....!


BTW, thanks ChspkScion for showing me this thread!

Definitely unofficial, but it was put in no uncertain terms as to color and release. Same performance, but with a sunroof, and gold. Don't know whether it will have the 5-axis kit or not, but should be bad butt. Source is a higher up from Scion, and I can't give away the identity or I will have to relocate them and their families for safety purposes.

I can also vouch for the color.

Since Scion decides on what color they make RS models.
Does anyone know if they at least poll peeps to see what options they would like to see on upcoming RS models?

My vote would be for a Kit on the next RS xB & xA models. Other options for the RS model could also include sunroofs, Navi or Stereo upgrades, Suspension/ Engine tuning kit, and of course leather or Alcantara type seating (hopefully in some other color than just black, I mean come on guys there other int. colors out in the world.). This would be my wish list over the run of the RS model of course.

It makes sense for them to keep an eye on some of the polls but, they probably listen to their suppliers because volume & proffit rule even for Scion/Toyota.

The extent of Market Research that goes into their product is very expansive. Their philosphy is get out and find out what the consumer IS asking for, not just sit in a board room & decide what the consumer wants.

They have a Japanese term for it but I forget the word.

Also, I know that Scion execs pay attention to Scionlife but its hard to know how much they utilize to make changes versus working with Specialty Aftermarket providers as their inside consultants for trends.

I really like my classic silver...If the Scion paint was more forgiving...The paint chips easily. I figure living here in CA I will get hit soon enough to have to repaint it to some cool color scheme...

Dealerships in CAT will be able to allocate release series xBs in January, right after the color and specs are released at the Detroit Auto Show.....hope this helps

the NAIAS is jan 13-27th... same thing ya?

Yes this is the same thing....could know at ;east the color by the 17th if not sooner, industry day is the 17th and things tend to filter out from there

Today I heard today that the color name will be "gold crush mica"

Today I heard today that the color name will be "gold crush mica"

from who?

The allocation managers at the dealerships can already see the color as Gold but the other specs are not showing up yet.

I can check today to see if any units can be requested with built specs but I would be surprised if they would be available before the end of the year. That would mean they are already in the US sitting at the Port & waiting to have the PIO completed. The FJ Cruiser pics of the new 2008 colors were seen at the port about 2 months before the dealerships on the East Coast had any.

Although a xB2 RS 5.0 would make a great Christmas Present for the wife, I suspect she will have to wait until her birthday in the spring. (If they are still around)

i think it would make an amazing christmas present, your wifes lucky

Sorry, can't divulge names as they could get in trouble. Lets just say that we got to sit

Hey guys this is what a friend of mine said, he works for the dealer and is ver cedible so this aint no joke

xB Release Series: 580 Gold Rush Metallic, No 5 Axis Kit {since anyone can buy it} A little bird chirpped a more JDM feel on all the next release series models.....that is all....for now

:P

I'm most interested in equipment list and date availability. I'd be glad they don't put the 5axis kit on there, don't want it, personally.

My source is above all the dealers in our region.

well its rush not crush

and google.com isnt above scion dealers :lol:

Just received this...

"Oh and I did finally get some info on the release series and the car is to have a sunroof,
kenstyle body kit, and the color is called gold rush."

I will have more information soon & I wonder about the other goodies that will come on the RS 5.0.

I am not sure if this is second hand vs his allocation build software that is available to dealerships to request vehicles with.

It'll be an Espresso color, and will be coming out around January 2008. I tried Scion Says to get the specs on it, but there isn't a bulletin just yet on it. I know it's going to have the Nav. system and a moonroof (my boyfriend's dealership already has one allocated) but that's all I can remember as far as extras on the thing. Once I get ALL the specs, I'll post 'em for you guys 8)

....and I was wicked surprised that my bf told me Espresso, esp. b/c every single one of my customers points to the display in my showroom (with the 5axis gold color from Chicago) and says,"that's hot! I want THAT!". I'd love for him to be wrong on the Espresso name, and that maybe he was just jonesing for coffee this morning and couldn't think straight, b/c gold would def be awesome...haha

The Xb will be out in 4 to 5 months April as an 08 right before the 2009 come out. 2500 will be made. 920 scion dealers so each dealer will get at least 2 ( this is set up already). Allocations don't get pulled this far inadvance they are bi-monthy and they show what will be out in 2 months Sunroof is apart of the 5.0. The release for the TC will be in a flint mica color to follow the xb release. Hot Lava is the color for the XD release. to follow the TC. All will be early in the year. at the end of 2009 for 2010 the TC is getting a face lift. And take that to the bank!!

Ok guys, I totally have the scoop on the xB RS. It will be a new color called "Explosive Poop Green...Mica", and it will have 4 sunroofs mounted randomly on the body. Also, it will have the 1200 TT Tundra v8 seen at SEMA and a roll cage. It will also have a 1-speed tranny and will cost half of the normal xB base price. It was released in September 2007 and each dealer has secretly been hiding 4 of them in the back.

You can totally believe me, I recently impregnated someone's baker's hairdresser's prostitute's mother's twice removed quintuple cousin, on her stepfather-in-law's side, who is the Supreme Chancellor God-King of all Sciondom. I protected names because they would totally get in trouble and I am definitely not full of ____.

hey chop chop..not quite sure where you're getting your info, buddy, but release series models ALWAYS come in a color that is unique to the Scion line...part of why it's in limited supply and it makes it stand out a little more. It is also another reason that an RS tC will not come in Flint Mica

Bigfieroman: hahahaha..that's hilarious :)

Color has been set. See the previous posts. Color code is 0580 Gold Rush

As Soon as I can get the build out options, I will post. Have to check with the Inventory manger at the local dealership first.

You can bet that if they are going to show up in the next month that the allocation software will show the build out & the PIO are already getting installed. Seems unlikely though. Someone earlier noted that Chicago Autoshow is likely the show that Scion will introduce the RS 5.0. That's when they showed the new Scion's for 08.

dear god save the car from being this color!

Who do you think you are, Walter Cronkite? Blah blah blah and that's the way it is.

Obviously, there are other people with information as "offical" as yours, but none of us have seen any proof of anything except for pictures of a computer screen showing 580 Gold. By all means, say your piece, and you might be completely right, but don't get all ____y when someone questions your completely unsubstantiated claims. Plus, as I said the color will be "Explosive Poop Green...Mica". And take that to a bank, preferably a Bank of America, as they are offering free checking right now!

if you saw my signature on here, you'd see that I work for Scion as well. And as they say on our Scion Says website and in Scion training,"the Release Series vehicles feature a color that is unique to the Scion line"

Bigfieroman i want to tell you that you are absolutley hilarious thanks for that :rofl: HAHAHA it was great keep it coming please its more entertaining then just facts :lol:

The correct info....for the tC RS....is that the color is Galactic Grey. A quick look at your preference requests will confirm this information.

For those not in the know...Galactic Grey is also found on the Toyota 4runner.

Sorry to bust your bubble but the RS colors ARE NOT unique to the scion line. Solar
Yellow was available on the MR-2. The Colors for the RS series can be selected from
any current color paint used on any Toyota or Lexus line. One of our members won that
Scionlife contest to go to Arizona and meet the designers and that is what he was told
by the designers.

Galactic grey is a veyr nice color

Walter is my old man! oh yeah bank of america SUCKS!!! and as for the offical part my rep like to have aheart attack when I tried to make a copy of the rs page. I thinking ( not for sure on this part) that there will be a release party,

Unique to the SCION line, not Toyota line! Just like Blizzard Pearl on the RS 3.0 tC is available on the Solara convertible.

It's not, however, available on ANY OTHER SCION.

..and I agree with sonofxb.... galactic gray is definitely sharp! I've sold a few 4Runners in that color and it looks great :)

Rob we known more than you! LMOA (JJ) It's a pride thing ya know.

let's all gang up on Rob now

let's all gang up on Rob now

haha saying things like that proves my point about being a baby.....chopchop answered kiddig around the mature way while you posted that :blah:

Rob, you obviously have enough post to realize that that only difference between the
Scionlife forums and a Daycare center is that the daycare has adult supervision. Calling
everyone a baby is just as childish as any of the other post and completely lacks in the
appropriate sarcasm. If your going to flame me at least make it sting a little.

oh i could def make it sting but its not worth my effort or time so carry on.....

So now I'm confused I thought some one said this would be released in January. And now some one on here just said it will be released at the Chicago Autoshow with is in Febuary and if thats true then it wouldn't be on dealer lots in until March and/or April.

No one knows for sure most are just sharing information they have heard but nothing has been released from scion so till then anything dealer employees or anyone else says treat as a possibility. I myself dont entirley believe every thing till i hear it from the main source....

The RS xB is supposed to be coming out in February- it does have a Kenstyle kit, with a moonroof and some special wheel covers that say Release Series on em- There was one sitting at Scion HQ in Torrance the other day.

:lalala:

Oh yeah, and the Galactic Gray tC will have some Chrome on it, but I'm not inclined to say where ;)


:lalala:

Thanks guys for the info. :)

i saw it and it's uglee imo.

All,

I was waiting for the RS5 to come out, and I was told that Scion dealers would know more by mid December. Well, they didn't know anything even at the end of December. So, I went ahead and took a Nautical Blue xB. I got a $750 discount from the dealer and a $400 college grad discount, so I guess I can't complain too much.

I am big and tall (6'7"), and the xB is still a good fit. After test driving at least 6 models and sitting in a dozen others, I decided that the xB was the best buy. And, the more I drive it, the better I feel about my decision.

Davyator

How did you get a $750.00 discount from the dealer i flew almost 3,000 miles just to get to a dealership that didnt have a markup above the msrp, let alone a discount. and nobody even bother getting me started on pure pricing HA! what a joke. Btw to stay on topic i am very excited for the release series hopefully things like the 5 axis fog lights will be on it and then i can buy them and put them on my SW xB. YAY

:lalala: i guess it helps to work @ Corp. :bow:

Nameless AK,

Pure pricing basically means that a given dealer must charge the same thing to all of its customers (and it must publish any discounts). Scion's website even states that dealer prices may vary. Larry H. Miller Toyota/Scion in Murray, UT had a website that published a $750 discount. So, they were in compliance with the pure pricing methodology. Apparently they had 40+ units at the end of November that they needed to move quickly. So, they ran this offer through the end of December. If other dealerships are overstocked, they may begin offering similar discounts to blow out their inventory.

From what I was told....

xB RS 5.0
Exterior Color: Gold Rush (0580)
MSRP: $2400 (plus price of car)
Volume: 2500
Production Months: Jan.-Feb.
Release Dates: Detroit Autoshow Jan. 13th

Details:
Sunroof
Kenstyle body kit
Color-tuned interior
RS Badge
RS wheel covers

so when do you think we will have dates for the release? I am buying an xB when I get home late Jan, but if there is a RS coming out soon, I can wait. I would rather have the RS with a sunroof stock then just an xB and have to have a sun roof put in. Also, the $2,400 I hear everyone talk about-that just gets added to your price and everything right? Thanks!!

I couldn't wait, plus not too high on body kit, I ordered mine today. :)

dang, i hope its officially anounced soon. I think i will be able to convince my dad on this. He has been thinking about getting an xb2, but this will really seel the deal. If it has the sunroof and bodykit like mentioned, he will flip. :pray: :pray:

anyone have a pic of what the body kit looks like?

My Pure Guess is you will get only the Five Axis Body Kit and the Candy Gold Paint for the Release 5.0 added fee.

Yes i have seen the gold xb, but Im pretty sure the body kit that is going to be on the rs5 is not the 5axis kit. i heard it was kenstyle or something like that.

I couldn't wait, plus not too high on body kit, I ordered mine today. :)
'Bout time. :lalala:











:wink:
Cool! So what color?

Gentlemen with taste such as yourself and Cionide went with CSM, I figured I'd crash the party ;)

I knew I liked you for some reason.
Congrats!

Thank you sir!
Just waiting until the 19th to pick it up. Having a Webasto 740 put in prior to pick up. :)

Here ya go its confirmed! I dont like it but to each his own...

Rob,

I was hoping for a dual moon roof like the prototype. The prototype upon which many design elements were based had 2 moon roofs that spanned the length of the car. That would have been amazing. I took a risk to go ahead get a blue one, and now I am more comfortable that I made the right decision. Besides, I usually scrape on several curbs already. The kit would probably fall off the car after a day of driving here in Utah (since all of the curbs are so steep). The interior accents are nice, but I'm not sure they are worth the extra $2400 or $2500 that will be added to the price.

Have a great day!

Please don't drive over curbs. LMAO! :rofl:

Cionide,

Cul-de-sacs where I live use the same curbing throughout (including in front of your driveway), so you effectively have to drive over a curb just to get into your driveway.

But, your point about not driving over normal curbs is well-received. :-)

No DF210's in your future, I'm guessing.

Glad you appreciated the humor.

He's right. I live in a cul-de-sac and it's ridiculous. I lived downtown for a couple years, no such problems.

The 2008 xB Release Series 5.0 features dazzling Gold Rush Mica exterior paint inspired by last year's Chicago Auto Show xB display vehicle. This limited edition xB features a KenStyle® body kit, new Release Series wheel covers, and a moonroof, an xB first. A color-keyed rear spoiler will also be available.

Inside, the xB features a Gold Rush Mica accented interior trim and color-tuned seat fabric. Individual numbered badging completes the uniqueness of this vehicle.

Only 2,500 units of the xB Release Series 5.0 will be built. The xB Release Series 5.0 model will carry a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $2,470 over the base price of the xB. The manual transmission xB has a base MSRP of $15,650, while the MSRP for automatic transmission model is $16,600. The available color-keyed spoiler has an MSRP of $320.

The delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee for all Scion models is $620 and is not included in the MSRP. DPH fee for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota (SET) and Gulf States Toyota (GST) may vary.


:P Here is the official release, I ordered mine yesterday, Cant wait !!

From what I was told....

xB RS 5.0
Exterior Color: Gold Rush (0580)

Release Dates: Detroit Autoshow Jan. 13th

Details:
Sunroof
Kenstyle body kit
Color-tuned interior
RS Badge
RS wheel covers

funny how they give you a sunroof and so many more options for $2400, yet if you were to take your stock box to a dealer, they'd charge you $2400 for JUST a sunroof.

I hate thieves.

I paid 1450 for a sunroof from the dealer, 2400 is laughable. Most dealers charge 1600 and that's what most installers charge in my area, nit much if a markup on that item in South Florida at least.

Thats why we call them Stealerships :P they are like mortgage companies lol straight up legal thieves!

This is a great start for an xB RS model. Just adding up the two major option (sunroof & Kit) it just makes sense. Owners just add alloys of their liking.

And BAM!

Sweet Ride.
