Anyone know if that is false?
the only thing that can not be bought (financed) at the same time with the car is the supercharger.

also, BOO! crap series i say! i hope it comes around.

I hear yah man. Scion wouldnt let such a crappy picture show off the RS2. I kind of wonder why the mods are redirecting people to this thread.

That grill looks like the ones that come on almost all the new Jags. I'm still trying to google the color but it was a really nice blue.
EDIT: Ok I found a blue that I think is similar to the one I found, its funny how google can't turn anything up for Blue Blitz Mica. Anyway heres the link: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2171425
If someone knows that this is not the color, feel free to let me know.

I didn't know that either. But what about all those TRD trucks Toyota sells? What makes them 'TRD'? So all the mods on those trucks are done by the dealer and then sold as TRD-editions? I'm not challenging, just asking.

As far as the photo-chop...PLEASE, I beg you people...do not start up a 'This is photoshop VS This is NOT Photoshop' argument. This happened the time this pic was posted.

I think in a nutshell, we all would agree with this statment:
THE PICTURE IS PHOTOSHOPPED, HOWEVER, IT IS A CLOSE REPRESENTATION OF WHAT THE RS2.0 WILL LOOK LIKE

With that said...yeah, blue sucks. No offense to blue owners, I don't mean blue is ugly, only that there are already 2 variations of blue on a tc, and now here comes a 3rd? That's not very 'special' if you ask me. They should've done orange or green, something that's not currently a color available on a tc.

that solar yellow is somewhat blinding... but then again it's the picture too.... hmm... it's not a bad photoshop for the part that was done.... and much better than that damn picture of the RS2.0 people keep talking about.. at least its original is a picture of a real car..

but uh... the color's not too bad.. it just might be a little too much for the tC... the RS2.0 xB looks nice with it.. and i can get used to a yellow tC (but agreeing with the chevy comment)

i wouldn't consider it rice.... geez.. people really love using that word for things they don't like do they?

I think that pic is not doing Blue Blitz proper justice. Here is the pic from the other post (which I think looks more accurate):



We're trying to get some wheels ready for it. The color might be off but what do you people think?
