Default Any 07' xB's showing up on Dealer Lots Yet?

I'm trying to figure out whether or not the xB will have an 07' model run. By this time in past years the new models were out by early July. Post up any info you might have on this subject please.

it should not have an '07 model run, though the RS4 may be the model to show up for '07. however, i think the general consensus from the community and dealers alike is that Scion is skipping '07 for the xB and xA and releasing new models in '08.

So the 06's just keep dragging on till the replacement 08' comes out. That stinks.
I emailed Scion Corp about it and they were very vague in thier answer. Just telling me to keep checking out the website bla bla bla...

I think that Scion Life should be the first to find out about any new releases

It just seems strange that the 04',05'and o6's were out already this time of the year and now nothing is being said or done about the 07's

What happened last year? The 2005 model was carried over as a 2006 with the 2006.5 model being introduced quietly.

6.5 has steering wheel audio controls, 6.0 has none.

Toyota is known to changing their plans quite a bit, the FJ Cruiser production volume was halved, the new Corolla was delayed a year, and the 2007 Tundra was just pushed back a month. These were decisions made following announced plans otherwise.

The successor to the xB has not been announced, yet we think we know what Toyota will do. Make sense?

Just the xB or the facts about the FJ, Corolla, and Tundra too?

Do you also believe Scion will keep xB production alive in 2007 for just for RS 4.0?

It seems ridiculous to keep producing a car just to sell 4000 overripe pumpkin colored models.

Yes, but the 06's were out by July 1st. It's mid August and we haven't heard squat.

I don't think they can sell xB's until Spring or Summer 07 and call them 06's. I can see them bringing out the 08's as early as they want in 07. I have to believe the RS4 would be an 07 and finish off the line.

I think the intent of the RS series is to draw attention to the model, with most people choosing a more conventional color of their own choice.

I test drove in a RS3.0 was when I made my decision to buy an xB, but I would never buy one in that color.

I don't see the point of offering only an RS model in a strange color, except out of spite.
