My dealership told me, they called the highest up they could find and I'm not expected to have my RS4.0 for 2 more weeks. Supposedly, Southeast Toyota got a boat load yesterday (and no Torched Pennys on it) and next ship not due for 2 weeks from yesterday. I'm really getting ready to drive to Louisiana now, lol. And worst thing is, there is supposedly only 12 coming on next ship, for 186 dealerships!!! And one is "promised" to me, so we'll see. I was number 5 of 12, when I ordered mine 4 weeks ago.

The Scion site has an RS 4.0 page. http://www.scion.com/release_series/
If you have the latest Adobe flash player, I think 9. The 360 view. Right click to change the quality to high.

Oh the paint.
you want spy pics of them at the port?? They're sitting @ the port. But they don't have the TYCs installed. So people, ur cars are here on US soil, just not at ur dealers!! Or on their way to dealers.

Mine hit the Port of New York on Nov. 7th (was scheduled for the 4th) and got here to Delaware on the 14th. I got to see it on the lot, but I'm waiting now for the optional equipment to be installed. The plate was blocked from view, so I don't know what number it is yet.

In addition to the 4.0 package, I'm getting the fog lights, front end mask (lots of stones get tossed up on I-95), center armrest, sport pedals, cargo liner and cargo net (I carry lots of stuff!), iPod stereo, 15" alloy wheels and wheel locks. All dealer installed Scion options, I know. Give me a break I'm 43, not 23! I am also having the dealer send it out to have a Viper 5900 security and remote start system installed, so I have to wait for that as well. I'm told it might all be done tomorrow with a little luck.

Mine hasn't shown up in the allocation yet for my dealer.

If anyone works at a dealership and can check for me. It should be at New Country Scion in Saratoga Springs, NY.

I took one for a demo. Yes I'm a dealer I have been driving it for around a week now. a lot of people like the way it looks. They way it changes colors. We have another one for sale on our lot. Scion have made some improvements I notice that when your driving 75-80 the RPM are under 3,000 that a big improvement from the 1st year. It’s also a lot quite than the first year. I will post pics later.

My current xB is a stick and I HATE how it sounds at 75-80 on interstate. I'm looking forward to my new one being an auto, so it's quieter.

Madzoz~My dealership told me they won't even know if it's there next allocation till 11/28, so looks more like a early December release in Florida, lol.
