I hope to see some nice interior changes on the new RS 5.0

Maybe a RED LED theme on the radio , gages , steering wheel , door lights & not just any dual red but something bright & easy to read over the stock LED colors.... Maybe lose the tC badge & get a real TRD emblems ?

I can not wait for more detail info & pictures

not bad, but they should have installed the trd springs and strut bar for that extra amount of money it cost

It does have the the TRD Springs... and rear sway... and exhaust.

Definitely better than the RS 2, 3, and 4... but I think it's just too late in the tC's life. Everyone is expecting a new model - not an RS that should have been released 3 years ago as the RS 2.0.

Though I have to say, I think they actually listened to people on this one. Bolted on some TRD parts for a little performance... gave it some fairly clean wheels... and kept the price fairly reasonable.

But like I said, too little, too late.

There's no way I'm going to trade in my 05 that I've already dumped money into for this. If I get rid of this, it's going to be for a new model or something else entirely.

Come on Scion, get on the ball and replace the tC already!

Anyone else think the trd exhaust tip looks more round?

Makes me want the RS5.0

I worked hard for my BSP with red accents... and now they make one that's practically better straight from the dealer... great... Maybe it's time for me to change my color theme...

umm how did you already know of the pics from a while ago? Those photos were taken a week and a half ago, and have been in retouching just this past week. This was all for immediate release.

My RS5 xB came with "special edition" hubcaps, & was $19845.

I LOVE the RS5 tC wheels though.

but ur RS5 also came with a body kit, even the new RS6 xb is weak its jus red

If the price was right, i'd swap OEM bumpers with someone. I hate the Kenstyle lip on the RS5. I just loved the color & the interior. The friggin Kenstyle kit is $3100 if you wanna buy it separately, too. It's ridiculous.

Yea, I dont really like the RS 5.0 kit either, its my mom's car, so I think she doesn't care, but it kind of bugs me some times. The RS 5.0 looks sweet with the normal OEM kit
