The xA gets no respect, even the show worthy ones are looked over and seldom do you see a trophy class for an xA. I guess the one thing that holds true and is the best thing for us no matter what anyone else does or says: We love our xA's and are proud of it.
That's true man, It would be easier to be proud if we could get some aftermarket love tho.

(light blue at that) It's just rediculous. I feel let down by Scion, they geared the car twords my generation and even advertised it as so in the commercials (the one with Paul and Mike catches my mind) and then they turn a full 180 and turn the car into just another run of the mill grocery gettin hatchback. Shame shame shame.... As I stated "if the xB rs3.0 had this color there would have been a riot or something."
With that I'll leave you with a more appropriate colored xA to copliment the one above, Orange rules.

Simply put, if you don't like it, don't buy it. That is just means 40 new customers will buy the car. Remember that this is a limited release, and it can almost being guarenteed that this car will sell just as well as the other RS cars, so even if people on here don't agree with the color, plenty others will. Just my two cents.

too. The more I see the xA the more I like it. It reminds me of a Gremlin for some reason. I almost wish I could afford to go buy one on top of my xB. Just enjoy the rare car beacuse it may be worth something soon. I only see about 1 xA every 6 months on the road where I live.

I like the color too, actually, but like I said I am so sick of seeing cars shaded in light silver, beige, and blue. This is as bad as honda civic light blue. Puke! Maybe a Camo xA. Excellent color for the box! Why not the xA.

A dealer posted screenshots of the RS 4.0 color which is actually "torched penny." Same color code(3R2) but not mazora red. He did say it was still a color changing red. I dunno maybe it's the same deal with the RS 3.0. 8T4 color code but not actually stingray metallic. Or maybe they just changed the name...who knows.
