way ahead of you guys on the www.releasethethree.com site. I've been in talks with Andy, the admin of that site. He works for Attik, which is the marketing/advertising company for Scion.

I put the info in the "8q1" thread: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...=asc&&start=25

Ive seen exactly what color it is. Ive held the paint chip which was handed to me by the factory guy who picked the color. Its not that great....

...unless you like boring colors like most of the RS Scions already sport....

I wouldn't be suprised if Scion did put wheel covers on the RS2 tC. I remember reading here about how they are thinking (or were thinking) about releasing 'tuner' versions of the tC and it had black steelies on it. I'm not too keen on the color if its going to be "some-sort-of-blue". I would be all over a RS tC if it were in Mystic Gold Metallic ...

I too am curious about the audio and visual upgrade. I wonder if it will basically be the RS3 xB system? If Scion wants their RS series to sell, they need to get better with their packages. Slap on better rims. (They already have above-average tires with the 18" package.) Throw on a TRD Exhaust and Springs. (Cut me some slack here; Most peeps NOW know that Scion is a marqee of Toyota. The secret's out!) Make the packages different between models because it sounds like the RS3 xB and RS2 tC are going to have the same audio/visual set-up. These are just some minor suggestions that still help keep the price down. So take them with a pinch of salt.

So what's the latest rumor on when tC RS2 will be announced?

I agree...Scion tC RS2.0 color is not really a secret.


tC Release Series 2.0 will begin a 2-month production run with March PPR1. The current total is
2,550 units. GST will receive 243 units. The Release Series Package includes:
• Blue Blitz Mica (8Q1) exterior color
• Upper / lower grill
• Unique finish on standard alloy wheels
• Curtain Side Airbags
• Subwoofer - Under cargo area floor
• Alcantara seats
• Alarm w/Radar Sensor
• XM Satellite Radio
• Numbered Badge

This is from a memo from our distributor.

"• Alarm w/Radar Sensor "

Hmmmmm... That rather amazes me since their are some states where radar detectors are unlawful...

gjpjr84

its not a radar detector, is radar as in it can tell if someone is near the car.

Tomas

Ah! Like that nasty black Mercedes that always complains and tells me to 'step back' before it sets the alarm off and notify's it's owner.

Impolite beast...

Streeter

Well. Looks like the secret is out! Except, that memo doesn't mention anything about the audio/VIDEO upgrade that's on the viral site...?

gjpjr84

yea, but im not sure how it exactly works, so I don''t know if it warns you to back away.

at my old job there was a clunker there one day and it had the same kindof alarm, only it screamed rape in a young womans voice, and yelled at me to get away and leave her alone. there were a bunch of people around at that exact moment too...

zinczipper

... just hope that for any future RS vehicles , port is ready to do their job and get the units on rail .
...most RS.03 xBs still sitting after a month in port .

peteyd

yea that would happend to you lupe! lol but its just a motion sensor place on the car that dects a radius around the car if you stand to near the car for more then 5 or 10 seconds if i remember correct.
