Dude, if the xB RS3 isn't even coming out for another month and chance why do they already have a spot for the xB RS4 on Scion.com??
and IMO that green looks hot but there's not much else I would want from the RS3

The Radar Intrusion thing is a car alarm.
The "radar" feature reffers to an invisible grid around the windows and such. With the windows down and the alarm armed, it will go off if you put your hand through the open window. Kinda wierd, but it adds the security many of you have asked for.
As for the trade-in, look at it like this: If the dealership gave you the $15,000 you paid for your car then they would have to charge $16,000 for it just to cover expenses (yes, dealerships have expenses, salaries, medical plans for employees, used car inspections, detailing costs, etc.). Would YOU pay $16,000 for a used xB? I have a used xA sitting on my lot for $13,900 that nobody will touch! We will likely need to sell that for $12,500 at best just to move the car (read: make no money). Therefore, yes, expect to get between $12,000 and $13,000 for a very low mile, stock xB. Keep the mods for yourself. Dealers want these cars stock.
I hope that helps explain things. It sucks when it's costing you money, but that's why people don't buy new vehicles every year.

Ever see the New York Giants' helmets, especially in HD? That blue would be AWSEOME. And it would have been better if Scion used the paint from the Oregon Ducks helmets for the RS 3.0.

The radar intrusion on the security system is an old feature from Alpine. What it actually does is when some one comes in close proximity to the car the radar egg around the car falls back to the second zone which is the inside of the car so you would be able to sense some one entering your vehicle and therefore trip the alarm even if the windows were down!
Hope that helps

Well, this has dragged off topic, hasn't it?
Anyway, the RS4.0 xB will be released at the end of the summer as a "last hurrah" for the xB (as was previously mentioned). Even the things people "know" about the RS4.0 are shaky at best simply because Scion hasn't really 100% decided what they will be doing with it.
Following the release of the RS4.0 will be the release of the 2007 model year replacement for the xB (which will not be called and xB according to the Scion plan and the latest information). Let's call it the dL (because I love to watch a thread spiral out of control). The 2007 dL will NOT be the same car as the newly released JDM Toyota bB. It will be something different. The xB will be dead. Long live the dL!
Everybody cool with that? Good.
