has any dealers seen it on their allocation sheets yet? or will it not show up till the first of february? just curious if they ship all RS 3.0 at the same time or not. i like in Oklahoma and have one on order and was wondering if it will come in by V-Day or do I have to wait to St. Patrick's Day since it is green?

Allocation of the RS3.0 xBs has begun. It wasn't a HUGE allocation though and there will be more to come.
Sold orders (people who have money down on one of these) are filled first, so you have a good chance of seeing your xB by the middle to end of February. Probably not by Valentines day though. Sorry!

Just to let you know that I got a call from my sales person and he said my car was actually in production sometime this week. Then it will be shipped from Japan to New York and from New York to here (VA). He said it takes about 10 days for deliv. So about 2 more weeks to go. YAY for me!

RS1 .. Hot Lava Orange 2100 units. + $980
paint .. rear spoiler .. Hotchkis strutbar .. color matched fabric .. Pioneer 6 disc multi color stereo .. interior lights .. billet grill
RS2 .. Something Yellow 2200 units. +/- $1800
paint .. spoiler .. RS2 door sills .. mesh front grill .. OBX exhaust
RS3 .. Envy Green 2200 units. + $2200
Alpine headrest monitors .. front grill .. hub caps .. rear spoiler .. XM radio with 3 months free ( we all know XM did this cause Sirius had 3.3 million join over the holidays ).
It just makes me sad that Scion is cashing in on what is popular. I mean, isnt it good enough that Toyota is kicking butt and is soon to take over or buy GM? Should they really knickle and dime the people interested in a low end low priced car cause its popular? Makes me glad that i bought my RS1 and that im not new to the Scion scene and paying a lot more for a lot less.

I do wish the RS3 had the color matched fabric and turn signal mirrors also. Oh and interior LED's, cause I'm too lazy to do my own.:D.....I'll get to the interior LED's one of these days, I'm sure

Envy inside?
Some lady at Exposed 2.0 in Miami told me she heard that alot of people complained about the color tuned interior so they are going ahead and making it green also.
What do you think

This is my first post. I'm pretty excited.
I just got back from Rudy Luther's Scion in MN. In just a few weeks, I will be the proud owner of an Envy Green RS 3.0 Scion xB!
I almost fainted when Nancy told me one was coming in on the next allocation and I could get it if I wanted it. Yay!
edit: Here is a link Nancy sent me with more photos.

Lets face it, scion will eventually go the route of all toyotas. Lets see, hmm rear wheel drive anything gets rebadged to a lexus and a price increase of double the price. hmm lets review what other fantasic things toyota has done..
hot cars, supra...canceled
celica cancelled
cresida which really is just a 4dr supra 7mge rwd rebadged lexus gs300
mr2 went from a high reving commuter to a 3sgte ***** out sports car to a drop top 1zzfe boring wanna be miata...cancelled
tercel, whic would make a great candadate for a 3tc or 4age turned into the echo... can you say bland.. cancelled
toyota although trying with the scion brand just doesnt get it... they will never catch the eye of a buyer who wants a fast car from the factory...lets face it they, aside from scion make expensive really boring cars..

which is why they made Scion in the first place.
and they cancelled the celica because the tC was basically the same thing.
Scion is still new, can't go too radical and fast with cars geared toward early twenties and lucky high-schoolers (let them do that themselves and learn why)
and i don't think they could have made a RWD/AWD and still be under 20k until recently (maybe....)
Yea they have made some questionable decisions, but they haven't given up completely
