Even with the unique and distinctive features listed above, the xA equipped with the Release Series 3.0 package is at a substantial discount to its more pedestrian competitors.

A full KenStyle bodykit is much better than a "special grille"

Still not sure about the light blue... But we'll see.

Release Series wheel COVERS

Oh BOY we get FANCY wheel COVERS... I'm sorry but $10 wheel COVERS on an RS series is completely LAME. Only saving grace is the ground effects and spoiler. I will save judgement until I see pics.

They do the wheel covers so you can get whatever aftermarket rims you want, and keep the steelies for winter!

Another piece of the puzzle falls into place. No mention that this is the last of the xA RS's......

I wish it would have been a better color. IMO, there are better non-Release colors than a light metallic blue. The only really good thing is likely to be the body-kit. The seats might look better as well.

IMO, the RS 1.0 is still by far the best RS with the red color and the sunroof. I would love a sunroof.

I'm glad they at least released one though.

yes they color was the first thing release way back when, i think it was called stingray metallic.

and IMO, for now it sounds like a kickin RS. i dont mind the color selection as much now that it comes with a "kenstyle developed front and rear bumpers"

and steelies w/wheel covers is a good idea cause even if they were real "rims " they would get changed out and wasted $$$$

this may be the xA my mom gets...
