I'm sorry those hub caps are weakkk. Even a half decent set of 17" alloys or something would make it sooo much nicer.

Still love the absolute red though!!

It looks like the AVIC F700BT, the bottom end of the F series, which Pioneer has yet to release firmware updates that speed several things up. I should know, I have this unit.

This is the weakest release series I've ever seen.

Looks like the tC RS5.0 got the shaft compared to this. And Scion prices the tC higher.... PFFT!

the guys are total tools....ummmm
little lights and the RS is unique? how ___? thats what ____es me off...no actual differences....
color is sick...
grille is a hot...
lip kit looks exactly like the 5axis for the tCs..
seats are retarted...nothing different
hubs are just worse than OEM...why even make that one of your talking points?
all in all a nice RS probably my favorite one!!

Lip kit looks pretty sick, as an option I wonder how much it costs painted to match. Add lip kit and rear wing painted and installed and you are upping the price substantially on an already overpriced RS. Scion, the economy is broken, please take mercy on us!

Look at it this way the Kenstyle RS5 kit complete is like $3,000 way way way over bord. I cant even wonder what the cost would be for the RS6 kit.

Still not feeling the color, its way too pink looking. Would have been better had it been a darker shade like a Habanero red (Civic Si) or Spice Red (GTO).

No standard lip kit or wheels (not hubcaps) FTL

Loving my RS 6. Would have been nice if they had that kit on it when I bought it. Don't believe the hype on the voice activation of the HU. It sucks rotten easter eggs

. Much faster and less frustrating to just use icons.

they said the word unique like 500 times within this 3 minute video. cool, so i can use the navigation to check out surf spots and hiking spots, aye? riiiiiight. because, you know, ALL SCION OWNERS surf and hike with their xbs........

i hate propaganda.

and the guy that 'likes scions' sounded like he had no *****. and no acting skills.

the car is hawt tho. ;]

I installed my AVIC-F90BT myself and it only costed $525... Made $55 selling the stock HU to a MR2 Spyder owner (they hunt for the stock units because their stock HU's are green and don't match their amber gauges).
