2106A? "A" probably means "AFTER". So if there is 2106A , it probably means that this badge is for the 6th LAVA made after the 2100th lava .....

 

ok ok ok........ mayb for lost badges...... since they dont want people to say they have the same number (if someone stole the badge) mayb this lava was suppose to be #6 and 2106A is the 2 badge for #6. Did that make sense?

(if im right... this will rock)

 

Made sense to me Ryan.

 

I would like an explanation of what is happening here with that 2106A number, if a 2106 was issued and this is different, we are already over the stated 2100 / this is an open invitation for a huge law suit !

SCION NEEDS TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE !!

I bought mine #1385 under the stated Limited Edition, not to be misled .....

 

Just another color to me.

 

very true indeed!
people that purchased the lava obviously paid MORE than
a regular scion xb, even though u get more features and a new color,
u're supposed to get originatliy or RARE-ness..
ntohign rare if they're gonna produce more hot lava's

 

We also received a rebadged vehicle. I am also waiting on a reply from Toyota about what happened.(I was hoping to have the explanation before this post came) I know that there were a few vehicles that came in without badges on them that were held up at the port in the GST region for over a month, but I do not know how many and for what reasons.

As far as us paying more for the Lava(I do own one as well) I dont think that is accurate. If anything we payed less by getting this package. Included equipment is equal to well over $1500 for $980 price. Nonetheless, like everyone else, I would like an answer so that, at the least, to have the right info for the person that buys the one that we have available at our dealership.

I will let everyone know as soon as I can if or when I find anything out.

 

THE CODE FOR THE MANUAL XB IS 6201A- THAT IS THE MODEL CODE.
FOR SOME REASON THEY MADE A TYPO IN JAPAN.
RELAX PEOPLE
It is not a great conspiracy or something.

 

so where did 2106A come from. to get three out of five charaters in the wrong order is not a typo...

i want to hear why badge 2106A is out there.
scion should have had there own data base of the numbers and vins. that way they could have fixed the problem the right way. re-issue the correct badge number....
i wonder how many other new numbers are out there...

 

2106a is not a model code.....your numbers are mixed up..

 

people it's not that big of a deal. i'm sure scion has their reason for giving it the strange badge number. it'll stand for something, just like 2JZGT-E stands for something too.

most likely a couple badges were misplaced and they were not sure which ones, hence the numbers over 2100, or else there might be 2 #1156's out there ya know? when we first found out why our car was delayed it was because some badges were apparently lost.

and it's a pretty good guess the A is for after production of the first set up badges. with as big of a company as Toyota i'm sure it could be easy to misplace a couple badges. it is however HIGHLY UNLIKELY that Toyota made too many cars. we are talking about the people that redesigned the jesus handle in the car to save money.

 

In a way it is big deal... If they lost a badge it should be replaced with the same number. Why make or even allow controversy?

 

Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with what that one guy said in that one post.

 

The model was a manual xB. Toyota's build code is 6201A
A japanese worker stamped the badge.
The number on that tag was 2106A.
The worker did not put in the number of production , instead they read the build code number. As characters in japanese are not laid out the same as english it stands to reason that it was a typo.

CAN ANYONE FIND AND TAKE A PICTURE OF ANOTHER WITH 2107A or 2108A of 2000 ? I don't think so.
Lets move on. There is no way all those numbers would randomly appear on tag for a Hot Lava. 6201A vs. 2106A it is to close to assume anything else.

 

Has anybody contacted the SCION CORP bout dis?

I tried a littlebit of investigation and it seems that no one from the SCION CORP know about this either.

Please wait for a Scion Customer Advocate to respond. You are number 1 in queue.
You are now chatting with Moe
Moe: Hi S3X how may I assist you?
S3X: Hi moe... i'd like to know if you are aware of the LAVA 2106A release ?
S3X: Why is there a LAVA BADGE made that is more than the 2100 series?
Moe: Sorry we are not aware of this.
S3X: okay.. here is the topic that we are all baffled.. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17345
S3X: please check the link on the SCIONLIFE FORUM
Moe: Sure hold please
S3X: thanks
Moe: I'm reading through it and i'm a little confused.
S3X: yah.. its really confusing
Moe: The Lava Red color was a special edition and there were only 2100 made
S3X: are you from the scion corp?
S3X: maybe that needs to be directed to them
Moe: yes
Moe: We are unaware of the meaning of LAVA 2106A
S3X: yes.. but how come, one of the dealers got the badge that says 2106A..what does the 2106A mean?
Moe: I believe it is the model number
Moe: each lava red vehicle has its own badging
S3X: ok.. can you probably check on this further and possibly post an answer to that forum.. we are confused as so does the rest of the LAVA owners
Moe: I'll see what I can do. But the people here don't know what that is.
S3X: okay.. thanks... that's all i want to know.
S3X: thanks for your help

 

maybe they had to replace a few lemons or buy-backs....lol!

 

THE REASON WHY THERE ARE MORE BADGES IS JUST IN CASE YOURS GETS STOLEN. IF YOU GO AND GET ANOTHER BADGE THEY WONT KNOW IF YOU ACTUALLY HAD THAT NUMBER OR NOT SO THEY GIVE YOU A DIFFERENT NUMBER. SOMEONE CAN JUST GO AND GET THERE XB PAINTED TO THE HOT LAVA COLOR AND SAY THAT THEY LOST THERE BADGE AND TRY AND GET A BADGE PUT ONTO THE VEHICLE. LIKE IF THEY WANTED TO PUT BADGE #0001. AND IF YOU NOTICE IN THE PICTURE, THAT BADGE IS IN A BAG AND NOT ON A CAR. CHILL OUT EVERYONE. THERE WERE ONLY 2100 MADE. SO EVERYONE CALM DOWN AND STOP GOING BALISTIC OVER NOTHING. ENJOY THE CARS YOU HAVE AND GO HAVE SOME FUN. I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE ALWAYS ON HERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS OR THAT. GO LIVE YOUR LIFE AND HAVE SOME FUN DOING IT. HOLLA BACK YALL.

The would make sense ... but if that was the case and the people at SCION would know this and should tell us this.
-Mike

 

YEAH BUT SOMETIMES THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW EVERYTHING.

DAVID

 

Damn that is really limited when you have to stick on the limited edition badge yourself. Why do they not come affixed with bolts or something. Just a sticker and just another color.
