TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 8, 2010 -- Scion announced today that its latest limited-production vehicle, the 2010 tC Release Series 6.0 (tC RS 6.0), will begin arriving in dealerships in March. The tC RS 6.0 will be on display in the Scion booth at the Chicago Auto Show, February 10-21, 2010.

The tC RS 6.0 comes painted in a vivid Speedway Blue that is currently not offered on any other Scion model. The eye-catching exterior is complemented with a unique matte-black vinyl graphic that flows along the beltline and features the RS 6.0 logo on the rear quarter panel.

Adding to the coupe’s sporty character, the bright blue motif is carried over to the RS 6.0’s seats and steering wheel. Front and rear seats boast color-tuned surfaces – black fabric with blue highlights – and the leather-wrapped steering wheel comes finished with blue stitching.

The tC RS 6.0 features an Alpine Premium Audio system with navigation that is flashed with a sound curve unique for the RS 6.0’s acoustics and includes a 4.3-inch touch screen, iPodŽ/USB connectivity, 200 watts of output, RCA output connections, and HD RadioTM technology. The navigation system consists of flash-based global positioning satellite (GPS) navigation, turn-by-turn voice guidance, a three-dimensional map view option, and a tC RS 6.0 route-guidance icon.

Only 1,100 units of the tC RS 6.0 will be built, and each vehicle comes with a unique, individually numbered stainless-steel badge. The tC RS 6.0 model will carry a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $18,620 with a manual transmission, and $19,420 with an automatic transmission.

The delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee for all Scion models is $670 and is not included in the MSRP. DPH fee for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota (SET) and Gulf States Toyota (GST) may vary.

On February 16, visit the official Scion Release Series Facebook page at facebook.com/scionreleaseseries and “Get Inside the tC Release Series.” Using Facebook Connect, visitors will be treated to a personalized virtual ride culminating into a 360-degree experience at Scion's most recent dubstep event.

yup heard about this the other day. quite possibly the most disappointing RS ever.

 

EVER.

i was like.. what color?! WTF? seriously?????


couldn't find a thread on it here.. figured I'd start it.

 

Scion is real desperate to move cars, that's all.

 

Great a Tacoma color...

 

So RS1 seats with blue centers instead of red, the Xrunner blue that's been around for years now, and a ricey vinyl. If that's the best they can do it makes me a little worried about the future of the brand.

 

awww how the RS's keep going to a new lows each year.

 

WTF !!
Nothing Changed for Scion tC~ Sigh !!
Where is FT-86 -_- """

 

i gotta say the badge is sick and it looks pimp above the center console. and the stitching on the steering wheel is nice too. other than that im not feelin it though.

 

Nav system looks ok.. The color is ok.. but that tacky side graphics.. OMG!!! for real?????????????

 

Eh. I like the looks of FM and SW tC's 100x more. Thats too bad. Better luck next time?

 

Seriously? Just a color, some lame graphics, color matched seats, steering wheel and a touchscreen nav?

At least they're not jacking the price too much I guess. The RS 5.0 was over $20k MSRP. This one is only $18k-something.

FAIL

 

I thought they were supposed to change the looks of the tC?
This is lame.

 

Well don't mistake this for a replacement. This is probably just to try and hold over sales until the replacement arrives hopefully late this year. This will likely be the last RS for this generation (it f'ing better be!).

 

Wow huge disappointment.

 

The first light blue RS tC completely owns this one... The Nav unit isn't even limited, anyone can go to the dealer and get the same one when the new 2010 models were first released.

 

Ya... but... but... you don't get the blue tC as your icon!!!11!

 

I'm not a fan of that vinyl on the side of this tC either.
Just another thing that's going to cause new tC owners to turn their cars into a rice bag.

 

So basically it's going to be another RS 2.0 look alike

 

Except minus the "special" wheels and the Alcantara.
