I really need a straight answer. The dealer doesn't know, the distributor doesn't know, even the jerk on live chat at the scion site couldn't tell me.

I'm going crazy over the lack of answers I'm getting and seriously thinking about pulling my deposit.

Why would you make a press release as a teaser, even put color chips in the dealers, then not make it available?

Both my local dealers said they don't know either.
Honestly I believe Scion realized it was mistake to mention new colors coming out later in the year. If a Dealer admits there will be new colors coming later and you want that color you are going to wait and they don't want you to wait. They don't want to lie to you and say the color isn't coming because that would really ____ customers off when the color does come.
I believe they will begin production in December and be on the lots by January. I have nothing to back this up other than earlier info by dealers. I believe the dealers are tight lipped now because if you (the customer) aren't really sure if salsa red is coming out then you are going to make a purchase now.
My wife and I decided to wait.

 

IF Salsa Red comes out for 2006 model year it will be starting in December. There is no word from Scion that xB colors will change at all.

The color chip in the dealer specifically said xA and xB on the back - I checked. They already had it on display - had had it out for at least a month now. This is where my beef lies - they taunt me with the color chip, yet the dealer can't order it yet.

My local dealer has gotten a notice styled thing saying that camo & BCP are going bye bye. The BCS gets the Salsa Red while its going to be some grey tone color that takes place of Camo.

 

In July my dealership was showing SRP and FM as replacement colors for BCP and Camo. Who knows for sure? They say new colors will be avail for delivery Jan/Feb 06. I think the FM would be worth waiting for--already have SRP in the garage on the "other ride."
