Default Possibly a RS 1 sighting?

This afternoon I was driving North on the 405 to Newport Beach, CA and on the southbound side I saw a semi hauling Toyota's and just happened to see a gold xB-2! Mind you I was doing 75-80mph so I only caught it as it was passing me, but it was gold and an xB-2. Didn't have enough time to look for the special stuff on it so it might've been the RS 1 or it might've been a custom colored trade-in xB-2. No idea :D Just thought I should share

This could be true because I was informed by a dealer that my Scion XB RS 5.0 should arrive by late Feb. Depending on where the central distribution site is, its reasonable that they are begining to transport them out now.

I have no pics, but I was informed yesterday that 1 RS landed at the harbor in Maui, though it is apparently presold.

CraigMBA, Do you think you can take a picture of the 2 xBs (the black one and the Gold one) side by side?

My driveway is kind of steep in the entrance and I want to see how much of a height difference there is between the two. I don't want to bottom out on my first time parking it.

Well the truck looked like it might have some used cars on it as well, but I didn't get a good look.

However, the picture that CraigMBA posted is exactly what I saw on th 405 South. When I saw the color it.. didn't make interested to turn around and chase it. Though had I done so I would've been late to work I think they could've done a much better job with all the new RS colors.

Xnumb,

I just happend to be there and take a picture of it to send to my wife. It was still in my phone.

FWIW, they were both stock height, which is slightly higher than a new 4x4 Tundra compared to my NF210's. Mine doesn't drag, and my wife drives like a madman.

That car is almost a carbon copy of the one I saw at Toyota of Orange.

The bodykit is the ugliest one I've ever seen. Somebody make a body kit that doesn't make me want to vomit, fits correctly, and doesn't have the tape line exposed around the top edge PLEASE.

I swear some of the companies who build parts for these cars used to be in the cake decorating business.
