I agree that you will love it. I was more into the fact that it was a special release than for the color. The color grows on me more and more especially after doing some mods. It is just so much fun to drive and you get looks where ever you go. I got sweet 16 which was way better than I had hoped for.

 

I would like to know if the single canister xB exhaust that comes on the 2.0 will be available for purchase for my Scion, as well as the side view mirrors?

 

The exhaust is DC sports and I believe it is available of course without the RS2 tag on it. I heard the sideview mirrors have been available for awhile but the fit is not great

 

Does anyone know of any exhaust systems by Mugen, GReddy, or Skunk2 that are bolt on to the xB, that meet the 95 decibel requirements for CA?

 

Hello all I just got my RS 2.0 #756 I love this car !!!!!!!!!

 

Your gonna love it more and more every day that you drive it!!!!! I have a 2004 conversion van and a Chevy Surburban and a Toyota Solara but just give me my Scion xB RS2 and I'm a happy camper!!!!!

Just don't call me Spongebob[['"ugh'']

 

I got mine RS2 two days ago. Paid sticker and taxes. The dealer had 13 in the original allotment. Only five were remaining in their stock when I got mine.

Next day I show it to my best buddy. This car is flawless. Everything I waited so long for is in the xB and I got a safety color by holding off for a year until FINALLY a neat, bright color came along. (Lava is cool but I did not want Orange)

I showed it to my best buddy. He drove it. His old car is an oil leaker. He said "I want one!" Today we went back to the dealer and my friend got his RS2, too. Now there are four remaining in dealer stock and they say- they won't be getting any more.

My friend and I have identical, perfect yellow xBs in Solar Yellow. He hasn't bought a new car in about thirty years. Always bought used. He'll turn 91 years old next month. He learned to drive in 1924.

Cool is cool. The car and the driver match. Young guy.

 

Hi, Just got my RS 2.0 last Saturday, # 1543.
It is Sweet!

 

Hi all, new poster and proud owner of #2062!

The xB's caught my eye when they first came out, but I wanted to wait and see if another Limited Edition would be available.

Lucky for me, I love the look of bright yellow, heh.

 

Got my RS 2.0 today #1764

 

Hi Guys,

Just got my Solar Yellow #792 last week. Having parted ways with my Liquid Yellow MINI it was meant to be getting another Yellow car. In fact the yellow between my xB and the MINI was almost exactly the same.
With some mods I think I can get the xB handling almost like the stock Cooper.

 

I got my RS 2.0 #1844 two weeks ago. I love that car. I used to drive Corvettes and Camaros but I will never go back.

The engine is wayyy smaller but the room inside more than makes up for it.

And besides that, I get more attention and looks in my xB. The bright yellow helps!

 

Hello all! Just got my RS 2.0 #507 yesterday. Loving it so far!

 

I just bought #1219 today (Mother's Day) in Fremont, California!!

 

Went to get my BCP xB oil change, had 45 minutes to kill and spotted the Yellow xB on the lot. Checked it out and fell in love. Traded on the spot and drove it home that night!
Took all my upgrades off the BCP and put it on the yellow...looks great! Does anyone know how many States sold the Solar Yellow? Bought mine in Cincinnati.

Kimber

#3 of 2500 (lucked out) Anyone have #1 or #2 out there????????????????

 

Got my xB RS 2.0 bout a week ago... love it! #2205

 

I just bought my Solar Yellow, Limited Edition, xB 2.0, on the 19th. lovin it!!! #1913.

What happened in the year 1913? Trying to figure that out.

 

Just picked up my xB RS 2.0 5 speed #2472 on Saturday...drove all weekend long.

It's been a year long process getting into this car - originally wanted BOP or TCM, but shortage of 5 speeds made me grab this one - glad I did!

First words out of my Uncle's mouth - "you bought a BOX???" (and he drives an old Suzuki Samurai) - I told him "no boxy comments from you!"

I was 45 minutes late getting INTO Target because people kept stopping me in the parking lot. But I got the coolest clear plastic floor mats that glow purple!

Love this car, and the attention it gets!

 

Got my xB RS 2.0 just over a week ago. #1964 5 speed. Loving every minute of it.

 

Yeah! Your number and mine (1910) make me think of those years.

impromtu verse. verse like this i write by making a tune and singing it out as I write. crazy, but it works. you can just read it 'cos I can't write moosic out in this form.


Whatever happened to that year of 1910?
Will we ever see such interesting cars, again?
We see ahead by sometimes looking back
to that vanished era when most autos were coach-painted black

Whatever happened to the year of 1910
when you had to swing a crank to start, again,
and adjust the spark and throttle and jiggle carb "tickler"
and throw the switch to "battery" before she'd make whir

Now, what new things had come to feature in '13?
What new inventions were automatic by then?
Well, there was no more hand crank;
The Boss had made Electric Start
and gasoline was getting worse;
so carbs became an Art

What new things have come our way since vanished years
besides the clash of nations in unending world wars?
Military needs brought inventions applied next to cars
until now, in 2005 we GPS, quite nearly by artificial stars

Remember that yellow was a racy color, 'way back then
In the year of '13, and in 1910
And as much as many things have changed it's
Great! to see anew again, a Sol Reminder of their
Yellow Perils spinning wheels again




Sidebar: the "Yellow Peril" is a xenophobic catch-phrase of that era. The huge influx of immigrant Chinese made white America uneasy.
This racism was illustrated by the term, "The Yellow Peril. Many a young "tuner's" sporting car was christened "Yellow Peril" for the comic effect.

Now you all know what 1913 was like. Early twentieth century pop culture is my favorite period for social study. An era amazing in every way.

Hope you enjoyed this strange little item written to amuse and remind us all just how easy we have it today.
