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'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.

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.

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.

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"...!
