Just like clockwork, new RS model and the haters all come out.

I think it looks damn good.

I like it, but couldn't really see myself driving it, I'm sure I'd love it though.

^lol. If someone could drive this though a tunnel and drive it upside down like Jeremy Clarkson did with the Twingo that'll def get it some publicity.

Then again it'd probably be left for the iQ

Probably the first tc2 that I've liked! I'm liking the color, it could look really nice with some dark tints and possibly tinted tails.

It's definitely unique, that's for sure. That's the point of the RS isn't it?

Yes, these are parts anyone can purchase but not everyone is into tuning their cars. Many, many people have no idea who or what 5:AD is let alone know that Scion is part of toyota.
Your very right, but the RS is geared at enthusiasts. So thinking of enthusiasts only and not people just shopping cars and saying "ew, I don't like yellow", the RS is more appealing for its rarity. An enthusiast will notice the value.

Personally, I don't enjoy owning cars that anyone can get. I like having things a little different. And if it is fairly run of the mill, I'll change it so that it doesn't look like anyone elses.

I've looked at this, there is a LOT of wiring and senors, and key fobs, and so on and so forth. Its a lot more expensive then just selling your car and buying an RS.

It's ok....the color is too loud for me. I don't think it is worth the extra $$ at all. They need to make the rs series come with a stock turbo.

Tell ya what. If you buy one I'll trade seats with you. I love the yellow seats.

I definitely like it, but I like the black/red styling on the 5.0 better..
BHut it really grinds my gears that it doesn't even come with a spoiler and foglights after you pay all that extra... That brings you almost into the 25k region and you can buy a way faster car thats just as sporty looking for 25k..

Use the extra money modifying the normal tc
