Who ordered the tC RS 5.0?
What's up everyone. I'm proud to say I am a Scion owner ... somewhat. I don't have it yet. lol. I ordered the RS 5.0. I should have it in about 3 weeks.
I was just wondering if anyone here has ordered it and what options did you add? I got the Bluetooth and the Auto Dimming mirror.

I am guessing the TRD BBK on the tC in the pic doesn't come with the RS5?
If it does, that's a huge upgrade. Then it's got the TRD springs, Sways, Strut Bar, Short Shifter, etc etc. I think it's got all of the TRD accessories except the S/C, and I'm not sure on the Big Brake Kit.
All in all, for the price I would have gotten one if I didn't already have a tC. It's still a good price for what you get, and it will out handle the sht of a spec tC.

I just joined today, been reading most of the posts here for the past few days and am in the market for a tC within the next week or 2.
After seeing all the RS' from past I was really interested to see this years so started searching google thinking it would be my next car, I was wrong. Looks almost like a stock black tC with a few accent addons definitely not worth the extra money. I dont really like the look of black cars anyway, looks like I'll be going with the FM.

If your judging by just the exterior than maybe its not for you, but it comes loaded with plenty of TRD parts which I would have installed anyway. Its cheaper than buying a stock tC and adding everything.
