Default FAQ: Release Series 1.0 Red tC

Breaking news: The first Release Series tC will be red, have upgraded suspension and 18" wheels. This is just rumor right now, but the rumors for the RS1 xA came true....

Red will be great... i hope it is a rich ripe red, fire engine type, not the dull reds some car makers have. I can't wait till photos come out.

no idea on release date yet is there? rumor or otherwise?

As long as it's not PURPLE, I'll remain happy with my BCP. If some limited series is purple, I think I'd have to trade in mine. :D Don't see that happening, though....

Yep, RED is almost like pull-me-over from the cops...for some odd reason. I think most reds look like crap after a few years too....just look cheap.

I think I saw an Audi or Lexus or something high-end that had a nice red to it....I forget what car though. I could tell, since I waiting to cross the border to Canada and there were TWO red cars next to each other...you could tell one looked a lot nicer.

The only reason i wanna paint my car yellow is because here in Hawaii there hardly are any yellow cars. I see a yellow car like once every year. I jus saw a yellow car the other day so i guess i gotta wait a year before i see another. Seriously yellow cars are so rare in Hawaii. So i wanna be unique. Sure that would make me stick out but so what. I hardly see any imports gettin pulled over. And when i do, its usually some ghetto racer with a buss up car.

I was hoping for yellow too, they have already done red with the XA, and with the XB getting orange I was hoping for a different bright color like yellow. Yellow stands out like no other color.

Default i don't really believe dis rumer

i don't believe it because why would toyota use red again in the scion line...plus da tc already comes in a reddish shade (black cherry pearl) sooooo.... dat don't really make sense..... i think it would be yellow cause toyota hasn't used dat in scion and it has yellow in other models (celica,mr2...)

great reasoning "da tc already comes in a reddish shade (black cherry pearl) sooooo.... dat don't really make sense" NOT!

Jeep has like 3-4 shades of red (if you consider maroon a shade of red) for the Grand Cherokeee. So many other brands have more than one shade of red...
