Scion xA RS3 Speculation
 
Just what it says guys... anyone have any news? Let's see whose guess ends up being closest!

Psyco565 01-31-2006 07:31 AM

it's gotta be orange! and have an exhaust and intake and LEDs and be super fast just because it's orange! I love orange :) :) :)

GloriousMidget 01-31-2006 12:20 PM

Camo green! :love:

gookgeek 01-31-2006 12:57 PM

I think it'll be green. With green interior lights, green/black seats, spoiler, yada yada yada...

It'll be a failure!!!

I'm sticking with my '04, and I don't expect any RS for the xA to be better than the RS1.

I think a coffee brown. with a sunroof, rims, and a performance package, and a flip down monitor

THE_DON 01-31-2006 02:21 PM

I'd like to see gold...

Maybe some black rims, TRD springs/shocks, a nice lip kit.

The RS1.0 was definitely the best so far. I can hardly tell the difference between the RS2.0 and a regular blue xA. The RS3.0 either needs a good color or some sick rims.

I also predict a more drastic color change. I think the RS2 didn't set itself apart enough. I REALLY like the sound of a brown xA... maybe Anthracite Metallic like the 4Runner/Supra in the late 90's. I bet it will have some of the interior video upgrades like teh new RS3 xB.

gnar-de-gwar 01-31-2006 06:34 PM

it'll be in yashio factory pink, and come with special just for the rs3 yashio shocks/struts/springs, yashio factory exhuast system, and your choice of work, volk, advan, and enkei wheels with your choice of either falken, dunlop, or yokohama rubbers!!!! LOL!!!! I would scream and giggle like a little girl if that really happened AND it kept the scion price!!! No but really.....yeah.

I think you're right on the money. 8T4 is a blue color (anything that begins with 8 is blue) and I saw a color swatch for this car over the weekend. Its kind of a subdued blue/gray color. Its pretty nice, but not bright or eye catching. Its similar to the blue/gray on the sequoia, but not exactly the same.

peteyd 01-31-2006 08:43 PM

wtf why yould the do the xA in blue again :(

Ekolu2004 01-31-2006 09:13 PM

yup even the new RS TC is going to be in a blue i think the color code was.... 8QI. what's up with the blue?

jct 01-31-2006 09:31 PM

brown is a nasty color

it needs to be like the hot lava color

You want the real answer? You're not going to like it.



Scion thinks the buyers of the xA are not in the same league as the xB and tC buyers. It is their opinion that the xA buyer is more conservative and therefore, wouldn't buy an Envy Green car. Judging by how long the RS1.0 lasted on my lot, I tend to think they may be on to something.

Psyco565 01-31-2006 10:14 PM

Ugh, I guess I ought to mail Scion some pictures of my car... there's enthusiasts out there, they just haven't found the right way to get them. A new exterior mod such as the Fab kit instantly draws attention! The one on it now appeals to the same group that buys the VW bug, so sad! Yes, I pass by xA's on the road only to see a little old woman or middle aged person driving, but there are others like myself that I find at shows and in parking lots, that take a look at my car and wonder why they dont sell. Anyhow there's not ever going to be an xA in the future with a better look to it so props to Toyota for trying to sell the ones they've stuck themselves with. Poor xA, we love you so.

Ha! I actually only currently have the 2005 xA, 1986 Monte Carlo SS, 1997 Suzuki, and the 1984 Trans Am is a project not even roadworthy yet... Did I mention that my fiance and I actually share the vehicles and its winter so no motocycle right now...? But who knows, if work stays the way it is, and we like how the RS3 is "Marketed", maybe there will be an addition to my "sig"...!

:rofl:
