read the top of this page, but rs colors are orange , yellow, and the green is available now. these colors are limited editions if you want orange or yellow it will be used and hard to find someone willing to part with one. there is only one engine and I suggest manual for a quicker box. also there is a new red metallic out now that is a stock color. it is getting popular and kinda rare right now.

I traded my RS1.0 tC in on my 2006 BSP xB. I took it home on 1/31/06 and ADORE IT!!! I wanted the xB to begin w/, but I did LOVE the tC also. Big differences between the 2, but not missing anything anymore.

I'm still alittle PO'd at my dealership, didn't get the one I ordered, no controls on steering wheel(???) and wrong radio, but I'm dealing w/ it. Many things to come on it.............................................................

Yaay! I finally, finally got my RS3.0 today! Lovely #1402 is now happily sleeping in my driveway. Salesman and Dealership (Jeff McDaniel at McDonough Scion in Staunton, VA) were AWESOME to work with. He was as excited about the car as I was-- this was his first time to actually sit in one!

I've had my RS3 for 2 days now. I waited 84 days to get it and I can't seem to wipe the silly grin off my face. It came in right before we were leaving for vacation but wasn't going to be ready for pickup until after we were already gone (I was having some extras installed) So even when vacation was over, I was excited because I would be coming home to pick up my new green machine.

After driving for about 5 hours to get home, we emptied out the loaner car they had given me 3 weeks prior (a RAV4), vacuumed the sand out of it, and before unpacking, having dinner, or anything, we went to the dealer to get my #1771/2200 RS3. I took a picture before we even went into the dealership. Then practically grabbed the keys from the sales manager and gave hubby the camera to take my picture in the driver's seat. I thought I'd never get it...the day finally arrived!

I just love the looks I am getting around town. I have not yet seen another RS3 on the road, and have only seen a handful of xBs at all, so I know I am going to stand out wherever I go.

I haven't really had a chance to check everything out yet...the stereo is going to take some time, that's for sure.

Now that gas prices are right up around $3/gallon, I'm glad I'm not driving around in that BORING WHITE TRAILBLAZER anymore that got about 12 mpg. Good riddance!

WOO HOO! Doing the happy dance....

I like this car more everyday, and tops on the mod list is the zeta armrest and rear swaybar. Thanks for all the info folks.

Just bought one yesterday. Got an automatic, Black Sand Pearl with one mile on it. I ordered it about a week ago and watched them roll it off the truck, prepare it, and hook me up. I love it for it's unique-ness, affordability, and reliability. It's not fast and I won't pretend that is (that's what the Supra is for) but it's a helluva gas saving daily driver.

I got my 06 TCM in late October of 2005, and I still feel like it's the first time every time I get into it. I'm coming up on 14,000 miles already, and that's with one trip Birmingham to Atlanta and back, and the rest is around the city, mostly to and from work. I love this car!

Hello. My father, after letting us drive his new xB for a few months while he was fishing up in Alaska, called yesterday and said he paid off the car and is giving it to my husband and I.

WooOooOoOO!

This is good news because we were thinking about seeing if we could get our very own xB and feared having to go without if he came home and took it away from us.

It's black, stick, has the neon, fog lamps, roof rack, Sirius and lots of love.
