Default Cruise Control

How many of you SCION owners would pay extra for a dealer installed cruise control option? If so how much would you pay?

With the exceptional people moving skills of the xB as well as its excellent MPG the only thing that would keep me from taking it instead of my Talon on a road trip is the lack of cruise control!

Would you please fill out this poll to gauge interest in a dealer installed (as opposed to factory installed) cruise option?

I paid 3XX something when I bought my Scion - the Cruise Control was added at port for me.

umm, was it an aftermarket part that your dealer installed?

i'm pretty certain scion doesn't have cruise as a option.... yet.

The Jacksonville port is offering it as an option. Go to the Scion website, use zip code 32405 when building a scion - cruise control is offered as an option.

Default HOW ABOUT CRUISE NATION WIDE THEN!

SO how many would like Cruise other than by living in Jacksonville (actually I read that it is the entire state of Florida that gets the Cruise option)

I'm in texas and 8 hours from phoenix 8 hours from dallas, and and 2.3 miles from the butt end of nowhere aka El Paso TX.

Where I live you have cruise or you don't leave town.

It is too dang tiring to drive for hours and hours thru the desert without it.

I have driven 13+ hours straight with cruise and been moderately tired, but with out it... 6 hours is killer.

I even thouth about trying to canabalize a wrecked echo. Why the heck does FLORIDA get cruise and no one else does?

Yeah I just wanted to second the el paso guys comment that it blows not having cruise control in Texas. The state is huge (duh) and on average I beleieve Texans are documented as driving the most our of any our ste native. I average 25K. Gulf States Toyota should offer cruise its a no brainer... like A/C in Phoenix or Houston. Heck we cant even purchase the floor mats seperate from the rear mat. Its just pain stupidity, I guess that dont want to make money?

Here in Ohio cruise control isn't offered as an option.

Then again, Ohio dealers won't be selling Scions until June, so maybe the website will give it as an option on xAs and xBs before then. I live outside of in urban Cincinnati, but I drive to see relatives and friends in Chicago and Kansas at least twice a year. Those 7-9 hour drives would be MURDER without cruise control. I hope it's offered at all Scion dealers by June.
