I just wanted to comment on this real fast and clerify some things. There are two catagories for accessories for Scion Port Installed and Dealer Installed. From the factory you have color, transmittion, and airbag choices. The accessories that you see on www.scion.com while building your scion are port installed accessories that some dealers opt to install in house. Places like Cali with high labor rates and short freight times usually opt to have accessories installed at port. There are some TRD items that are Port installed options. Where in Iowa we install all options at the dealership.
Then you have dealer installed accessories that make up most TRD parts and aftermarket products offered from the dealer or requested from the customer. The TRD Cold Air and TRD Supercharger can not be sold at time of delivery for different reasons having to do with carb friendly and residualized financing.

Depending on the size and of your dealer and location you are sometimes limited.
But Scion of Des Moines can do any thing that you have dreamed of doing to your Scion.

complete waste of an RS
next.....

 

Couldn't agree more...

-THE DON

 

i think green would look pretty good on a tC. and hot lava as well.

 

the blue colors are all nice, depending on how it actually looks in person will make up my mind.

although a unique color that the tC hasn't had before would definately be better suited to the RS instead of a new shade of blue.

yellow is not a good idea tho

 

i dont care for the hot lava, but the green looks nice..id definately would get green over that "blitz blue" anyday...to bad its not real..

 

my dealer said they got one in..and that it was grey...

 

 

How is this any different than then 1.0? Oh, so you get airbags, a crappy sub, and an upgraded radio. I'll take that over a battery tie down and oil cap any day! Until you see one in person, leave it alone. There are plenty of cars that look like garbage in pictures, but when you finally SEE one, you're like "DAMN!!". Just give it a chance and hold your judgement until it is actually released. (I mean, how many of us made fun of the TYC's when all we saw were pictures? How many people on here have them now?)

 

As far as the TRD trucks are concerned, they are packages that offer a lot of options for the car.

TRD Off-Road Package: Sliding Rear Window w/Privacy Glass, Power Windows/Door Locks/Outside Mirrors, Remote Keyless Entry, Cruise Control, Chrome Grille Surround & Rear Bumper, Color-Keyed Front Bumper & Overfenders, Metallic Tone Instrument Panel Trim, Leather Steering Wheel & Shifter, Variable Speed Wipers, SR5 Badging, Fog Lamps, Off-Road Tuned Suspension w/Bilstein Shocks, 16'' Alloy Wheels w/P265/70R16 BFGoodrich Tires, Locking Rear Differential, Engine Skid Plate, Front Tow Hook, TRD Off-Road Graphics, Sport Seats w/Driver Lumbar & Sport Fabric Trim, 115V/400W Deck-Mounted Power Outlet, Multifunction Overhead Console w/Compass & Temp Gauge(OC)

TRD Sport Package : Hood Scoop, Sliding Rear Window w/Privacy Glass, Power Windows/Door Locks/Outside Mirrors, Remote Keyless Entry, Cruise Control, Metallic Tone Instrument Panel Trim, Leather Steering Wheel & Shifter, Variable Speed Wipers, SR5 Badging, Fog Lamps, Limited-Slip Differential, Sport Suspension w/Bilstein Shocks, 17'' Alloy Wheels w/P265/65R17 Tires, 115V/400W Deck-Mounted Power Outlet, Multifunction Overhead Console w/Compass & Temp Gauge, Color-Keyed Grille Surround/Bumpers/Mirrors/Door Handles/Overfenders, Sport Seats w/Driver Lumbar & Sport Fabric Trim, TRD Sport Graphics(PY)

Not bad for $4500!!

Please note that there are no engine modifications. No superchargers. No intakes. No exhausts.

They only serve to make the trucks more off-roady or sporty.

The trucks are not the only vehicles to get TRD packages. In Canada you can get a TRD package on your BASE Matrix.

Unique 17" Alloy Wheels with Wheel Locks, Air Conditioner, Cabin Air Filter, Panasonic 200-Watt Audio System, AM/FM CD with MP3 Player, Special Edition Interior Trim Accents, Coloured Rear Spoiler, Rear Bumper Protector, Coloured mirrors and Door Handles, Coloured Side Skirts, Painted Front Disc Brake Calipers, TRD Decals, TRD Exhaust Tip, Blacked-Out Side Window Frames, Power Remote Mirrors, TRD Shift **** (Manual Only), Chrome Scuff Plates, Power Door Locks,
Fog Lamps.

My point is not to hijack a thread, just to show that just because a car says TRD on the side doesn't mean it has all these power upgrades that everyone seems to think Scion should bolt onto its cars. You want that stuff, do it yourself. The RS line has always just been a special color and some extra little stuff, and they have always sold out, so Scion is obviously doing something right.

 

And I still don't like the TYC's

I can't wait to see the RS2.0... Waiting sucks.

 

I like the TYC tail lights...they are awesome! Better than the stock tail lights IMO.

 

I would trade in my 06 tC if the RS2 tC came with more stock HP.

 

naw, i think ill stick with wut i said...
they went from nice grill on rs1, to crappy mesh grill on rs2, BIG STEP UP
the color is better than the rs1 color, but the overall car itself is kinda dull, just like the rs1..i never said i loved the rs1 either

 

I went to my local scion dealership today and preordered a RS 2.0 and this is the exact photo they gave me. It will come in Blue Blitz Mica and with Std. Alloy Wheels-Silver, Pioneer Sub-under cargo, CSA Alcantara seats, XM Radio, VIP w/radar, and of course numbered badging. For a markup of $2,500.

 

^^^ yup

still only interested in the sub....

 

Finally, someone that has actually talked with a Scion dealer!!!

This is the correct information listed above for the RS 2.0 tC and I confirm it because it is exactly what I have received from Scion at my dealership.

If you want to see the color on a car go to www.toyota.jp The Camry that shows on the home page is Blitz Blue Mica. It is a JDM Toyota color that isn't available on any Toyota/Scion/Lexus in the USA.

Let the speculation resume...

 

More power in a tC is what they really need. We're all dissatisfied with the stock power, and I think Scion needs to start taking real people-demands into consideration rather than putting on features that sound cool to persuade the buyers.
