I'd say it just based on the color.

What's more manly than pastel blue? Seriously.

Someone did a "captive" on Scion's site, showed xb in green, tc in blue and xa in a purply/pink color. Plus, some "employees" have hinted, since most xa's are owned by woman, they were gearing this one towards them, since Honda's comes in a shade of purple. I'm waiting to see, announcement supposed to be in late June, expected July/August, so who knows. Crossing fingers here!

Odd since I think out of everyone on this site and xAtuner.com the population of male vs. women is like a couple hundred men to about 5 maybe 6 women.
I think that info about a woman geared xA is wrong.
Besides there is already a driverside vanity mirror which would be perfect for the rs3 if it wasnt already there. Just kidding ladies! Don't kill me!

I don't understand this comment persay, since I am a woman and ordered my xB as a manual and LOVE it!!! But, I would probably get xA in auto, so I can drink coffee, smoke, talk on cell phone, yell at kids AND put make-up on-NOT!!! I am so not your typical female, I'd rather drive stick, it's more fun! Plus, I like being able to do power mods and them actually doing something.

You keep that "RS2.0 was a mistake" nonsense to yourself buddy. I happen to like mine over all the other cars and their Releases. So NYAH NYAH and you are a blasphemer.

I hope there is no truth to that no new Scions until the replacement. I plan on getting my xB soon and if I can't find one in the color I want, I'm gonna be mad!!

the RS 1.0 was awesome, got a lot of attention, while the RS 2.0 simply came and went and was criticized along the way. granted, it is an xA and we all LOVE our xA's... its just that the RS 2.0 didnt deserve to be considered in the RS family, and i think everyone here just hopes the 3.0 can be a part of it.... i guess we just have to wait and see...

well this past weekend i had a good talk with some of the reps from scion at weenie roast.

the xA is gonna be disscontinued might come back in a few (2-3 years) as something totaly diffrent. they counldnt tell me what exactly was gonna be so diffrent bout', due to the fact that they where not told. only that the Xa will not be prduced anylonger and will be a collecters item.

i hold when it does come back it loses that whole mini mini van look to it

Wow, this thread is still alive?

I seriously hope that the RS 3.0 will not be geared towards female buyers. At the dealership that I work at I see about a 50/50 male/female ratio driving xA's, but all the ladies drive stockers.

I have only ever seen modded xA's being driven by guys, not saying that women shouldn't mod their cars, just what I have seen.

They are actually calling Bayou Blue Met Stingray for the xA? Pretty subdued color.

Stringray Metallic sounds really, really, really badass... Observe!

"Dude, what kinda car you drive."

"Scion xA Release Series 3 point O, son."

"Word? What color?"

"Stringray Metallic, mothaphucka!"

But aren't stringrays umm... grayish or tan/beige?

Why did people hate the RS 2.0 xA? I thought it was it sweet. Now, the Green Envy xB is absolutely disgusting!

Here are my dream RS 3.0 colors...

Desert Sand Metallic that the ACURA RSX came in... that is the only shade of beige that ever kicked ___ in the history of beige.

The light blue that the Matrix came/comes in.

Or the light green that Saabs come in.

That's what I was wondering. 8T1 is Bayou Blue, available on the Yaris.
