Sorry, if people are looking for a bigger xB, show them the Matrix. The scion line was never meant for families and baby carriages, suitcases, etc. It was small, nimble, city cars that were cheap and looked cool. I'd be totally supportive of Toyota bringing in an Element fighter into the Toyota lineup, but not Scion. It has cavernous interior space for its size, but it's not a minivan. If you want 3rd row seating, or space for a baby carriage and playpen, buy a minivan, but please don't turn the xB into one...

So, everyone save up to by the final release series...or the new '08s. Scion will stick to the 3 models so don't worry.
So, according to you, there will be an xA RS3.0 and another xB RS4.0?
If I am reading this right, we have 2006 xB, xA, tC. Then just the tC in 2007. Then 2 new models in 2008 that will come out in the beginning 2007??
Still sounds riddiculous IMO. xA and xB are selling way to well for them not to release it.
Well......it is the middle of June when several 2007 models are released, yet we haven't even seen a single "official" picture from Scion on the new models. This pretty much means there wont be any new 2007's. Maybe they plan on releasing the RS3 xA and RS4 xB really late this year, and having those carry over into the begining 2007.

We were told by region that we were gonna have an inventory of just tCs for awhile. They will release the 08s in early 07. I don't know when they will release the RS3 xA and RS4 xB, but I've seen the color for the xA on dealer daily. While region was here showing us something new, they came across a color palette with the RS3 xA color. It wasn't suppose to be up there but it was. They made a call to get it off there pronto. Once that happened, they told us what the xB color was too. They are both pretty sweet colors.

I reluctantly posted the first time in this thread because of all the negative people, and its not like i'm the know-it-all. I'm just the informed.

Dark Purple? Why have a color that's close to one that's already avail (or was avail) ie BCP.

^^ I agree, a lighter purple with at least some flake or metalic in it would've been better.

Oh by the way, I was just kidding!!!


The real xA color is going to be another blue color. Darker than the RS2 tC, but I don't know. Its a royal-ish blue.

The xB is gonna be a little more radical. It is a paint job that seems to resemble a mustang of sorts...called the Mystic Cobra. There's your xB.

That wasnt funny. I was looking forward to a yellow-orange xA too But this blue better not be bland which there's a good chance it will be.

Why have another blue RS xA? Doesn't make any sense. You'd think they'd have a color which isn't similar to anything which was previously available.

I have no idea where RoswellScion is getting his information, but I have it on good authority that the RS4.0 xB will be painted using Alsa's MirraChrome paint. The finish will be similar to this Lambourghini...

Sorry... Maybe the little "eye roll" emoticon did not display enough sarcasm for everyone. For those of you who didn't get it...

I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!

It seems like every time someone comes in here spouting information about what the next xB will be they have come by that information by some reputable authority. It just makes me wonder why each of the different reputable authorities have different information.

Until I see the facts from Scion themselves, I will continue to believe that the next Release Series will be affectionately known as the "xtra Bling." And that RS model will be banned by most states because of the road hazards the $10k paint job creates.
