It's all flash. Not missing too much... :?

Average (or Absolute?) Red
Sunroof
Red/Black inter-woven seats (styled like the RS1 xB)
Red interior lighting
Spoiler
Blacked out grill

All for $1395.

1550 Available, Released in August 2004. Looks nice, but I was expecting a little more. Great value for the $$$, like the RS1 xB.

Also Stablity and traction control.. that's not Std on the xA, right?

Why in God's name did they not lower that thing? It looks nasty.

Wasn't sure about the VSC...

Did I mention a full time 4X4 system that's been added too?

I was just messin' around with the 4x4 thing... looks a wee tall. I'm not to keen to the grill either, looks like it's for a different car and they bolted it on anyway. Great package, but after the Hot Lava paint job on the xB RS1.0, I think it set the bar a bit high.

They should have included foglights with the package. Well, only 1550 or so will be allocated for the states. xA not selling as compared to the xB. Less press too compared to the HL. It's like Toyota just wanted this out and could care less. The xB HL set the bar higher than all Scions. Yellow xB? Well, the New York Taxi cabs will like that for sure

I think it looks good I like the color a lot. I would of bought an xB in that color if there wasn't hot lava. Would of been nice if they painted the whole thing red. Those black plastic skirts take away from it to me. It really does need a drop too. I would skip the TRD rims also.

Yah, I mean I think the package is cool, and I'm always pro-moonroof. BUT....I really like the seemingly "different" color choices for the Scion's at this point. This is just RED.
The reason why I went with the black cherry is because it's not RED, it's different, and a much nicer color in my opinion.

I noticed the Toyota database listed "sliding roof" under new car features despite xA having no such feature yet. Surely a sign of the RS to come.
