Default xA RS 2.0

Just in: RS 2.0 will be in Blue. That should get some people going. Originally it was going to be speedway blue like in the new tacoma-but that has not yet been finalized. Expect Production in April 2005 and a May release.

Plus on every 06' Scion MP3 minijack connections to the head unit. The RS 2.0 will probably come similar to the RS1.0 on th external, plus fog lights. Roof is a ? so is VSC and Trac.

I'm pretty sure this is going to happen-Darren will hopefully be able to confirm-as well as other dealers.

Maybe we should make this a sticky

It's true, it will be blue. Of course they won't tell which blue. Suburban is right on the money. Don't ask me how I found out, it took all day and just like Suburban I don't want to be un-employed! Peace

The moonroof was a big reason for me buying my RS 1.0, they really should not get rid of that. If they are going to not include the VSC and the Traction Control, they should at least add something to make up for it.... my recommendation as a 1.0 owner would be a combination of two of these three things... TRD lowering springs - to solve unsightly wheel gap, Keyless Entry Alarm, and/or the 6 disc head unit. And seeing as how they are all dealer added options, what would be awesome in to actually give the customer the choice as to which one they want.

The springs should be standard too. When I first the xA RS I thought the dealer put the rims on it because of the gap.

However, I just bought the TRD springs for $151 from Sparks Toyota/TRD and that is a lot cheaper than my dealer anyway.

:D As far as I know the exact color has not yet been decided-maybe you all can influence that, as well as the options-let your voices be heard.

My one other complaint is that the Absolutely Red is a stock Toyota color. Unlike the Hot Lava. It ____es me off when people confuse my Scion at Scion Meets with a Matrix, simply because the Matrix is available in that color red. Maybe a cool metallic blue, or a bright race car royal blue, but not like acura blue, a bright green would be nice too...

The Matrix actually uses a slightly darker shade of Red. However, the Solara is available in Absolutely Red. :?

dunno, i'll take the blue on the tC or the one on the x-runner. i really want the moon roof. the wheels would be nice because then i wouldn't have to go buy them, and the TRD springs would be awesome too.
