This release series kind of reeks. Ahhh man, if only the xB was the 5axis kit... and the same or similiar color as the prototype... then it would be like a gravy train with biscuit wheels...

 

yeah the kit is kind of dumb looking if you ask me. other then the sunroof. no special wheels. i am happy with my regular one. but those that get it and like it. congratz

 

Yeah Congrats to those who do. I'll hate them yet be jealous of them at the same time. HEHE.

 

The color matches my Legend of Zelda Nintendo DS Edition. Hmmm...test driving the xB2 this weekend and may dump the xB.

 

Yuck. I was in the market for buying a new xB this year, but damn, i prefer the stock xB over this. That body kit looks out of place and doesn't help compliment the xB at all. Why didn't they ask 5Axis?

On the plus side, I like the moon roof and the interior fabric. I hate the gold trimmings though.

What the heck Toyota?! The Scion brand is supposed to be cutting edge and bleeding with cool, and this is not...at all.

 

For some reason, when I keep looking at this RS xB, I think of bling. I think this type of xb will look good on chrome IMO... Hmm.

 

I'll take the moonroof, but the color, kit, and the seat fabric definitely aren't for me.

 

I wonder if the RS5 reference the same color code as the 2009 Toyota Matrix in Sundance Metallic.

 

Those are some options... But I know people and I'm pretty positive I could get it if I tried hard enough. Thing is, why should I? It's uggggggly. I'm keeping my non-RS.

Thanks for the wonderful input!

 

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

that xb2 looks like my 1 year old's diaper after eating carrots & squash! baby $hit yellow. bad idea, just like the yellow on the acura cl a few years back.

 

Looks like scion finally made a poopie decision on a new model look/color. Hadunnoe... they better come out with something sexier than this version. Simplyred said it best...carrots and squash...LOL

 

That kit is ghetto fabulous, but not in a good way...

 

Wait, did the new xB have an RS yet? I think I remember one but I haven't followed the car...If is hasn't, then this one shouldn't be called RS 5.0...it should be 1.1 (Edition.Generation). It's gonna be pretty retarded if they've got a 2017 xB RS 13.0.

 

I like the concept. but it should be Generation.Edition - RS 2.1

 

Yea, but that wouldn't go with the first gen. Those would have had to been 0.1/0.2.

 

Good point; call it RS 5.2 to get the release series 5, for generation 2.
Does that work? I'm trying.

 

I think it is the same car so it should be a 5.o :D

 

I'm happy I don't like it...otherwise I would want to get one

 

VonStarINC, IMO the gereration 2 xB is not the same car as the generation 1.
They have similar styles, but are worlds apart in size, performance, and safety features.
If it was the same, we wouldn't have two different sub-forums; but that's just my opinion.
Anybody else have a take on this.

Don't get me wrong; they're both Scions, and I appreciate that.
