well considering the tC 2.0 just hit the floors....and it was annoucned after the xB 3.0 was rleased and about a month off...id expect the xA 3.0 to be about the same maybe a few weeks after the tC 2.0 hits the floors information will be either leaked or released!

Can't tell much from that paint chip, looks kinda grey on there, I'm assuming it'll look silvery blueish? Does Toyota use it for any other cars?

a lot of the scion colors are rejects from older model lexuses- so it might have appeared on at least one lexus model.

Also looks really close to Cosmic blue used on the Matrix

I agree with Zack and Iyzmi. The Xa is far to cool a car to be saddled with just six color choices that look more at home on a Camry or Corolla. While I love my IIP, if Envy Green had been a choice for my XA, I would have ordered it in a New York minute. Hot Lava would have been my second choice. I do hope the next Xa Rs will be an exciting color, making it very desirable and collectable.

I wish they still made the red RS color. I see one every day on the way to work. I love it!

They are keeping this under heavy lock and key. A friend of mine is a design engineer for Toyota. Right now he is working on the new "tall wagon" coming out of Georgetown, KY. He is in charge of the interior and the exterior paint. He loved talking about this, but when I asked him about the RS3, you could tell he got a little nervous and clammed up.
They are keeping this really quiet
