Spotted a car carrier about an hour ago headed East on the 210 FWY. On it along with a few boxes and tC's was an RS3---could not mistake its nose. Had to be heading to the High Desert or on to Vegas as there are no dealers that far North and East in the LA Basin.

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.

Yea the sunroof was a nice touch. That is one of the reasons why I bought the car, and the Absolutely Red really stands out. I love my car!!!

There is the best argument against this car yet....

Now, that's not right....the 84 Civic Wagon was a piece of work....

I won't go into my Honda history.

But I like new RS color ALOT more now that I've seen more pics....Still not as pretty as the IIP out back, but....

Somebody please explain to me why http://www.releasethethree.com still has the xA RS 3.0 appearing "unreleased"?

I laid eyes on one of these elusive critters myself this weekend. The color is nice, nowhere near what you would call 'eye catching', but for a car that you would want to just blend in with. The front lip really looks good on this car! I am impressed that Scion could pull it off as neatly as they did! It looks like it was molded on, not an add on. The rear panel is there. nothing that jumps out at you or anything...you will be behind this car and look and say 'Something looks different..."
The interior looks like the one in my 05 , just a little lighter.. instead of grey specs in the black fabric, there are light grey specs in the black fabric.....not a big difference.
The LTD Edition badge is at the driver's knee, where whoever is Armor All-ing the dash will see it, but not many others will.
There are no door sill treatments, that was a let down, nothing that tells anyone other than another xA owner that this car is special. And since there are so few of us that really pay attention to the xA, that is sad.

While at my Scion dealer yesterday, having my charcoal canister replaced, and the TSB updates that correct the defects in that system done, I decided to get some excercise and walk around my dealers lot (acres of cars), and check out his Scion inventory. Much to my surprise, he had 4,yes 4, xA RS 3.0 models on the lot: 3 were auto, 1 was 5 speed man. I figured since they made so few of them, and they have been out since early Oct., they all would have been long gone by now! I also noticed he had a good selection of regular 06 xA's, as I was told they are trying to build sufficient inventory to last as the last of the 06 xa's come off the line this month and the new xD's are still several months away.

Hehe, I would not want one of these. Even the lip kit is almost unnoticeable. I have seen a them about 3 times at the dealership and to me it's boring looking. Even the color is so 70's with a small tint of metallic. Sort of nice but I think it's a generic color. Sort of a color a teen girl might get. Sky Blue?

Wowe was that a rant!?!?! hehe, I wish there was more OEM lip kits for us xA owners since I had to go Order IST lip kits. Much cooler kit and cheaper.

My local dealer has 2 RS 3.0's, they've had them for about a month. They have the most Scions that I've ever seen them have and they're a small dealer. I'd say they have about 6 xA's, 4 xB's and 4 TC's. They had no xA's when I was shopping this summer.
