I think Toyota made it clear that no Scion is to ever cost over $20,000.

I think I've said this many times already, but the next RS3 should actually have PERFORMANCE mods. Grippy seats and a billet battery tie down are NOT performance mods.

Take the tC Spec, Super charger, suspension, intake & exhaust... that's it. Sell it for $19,000 and I'm sure it'll sell.

When I did "build your own" at Scion.com my tC was damn near $23,000!

I agree though, a Spec tC with a factory installed Superchager for $19,000 would sell out instantly.

Toyota meant STICKER price, not including add ons.

none of the RS's i would consider as rice. the RS2 tC is a little blingy but thats it.

and they cant offer the S/C from the port like that, all the wishing isn't gonna change that.

heres another go, its less blue like on the lexus pic posted but it looks like a normal "color-corrected" pic of ssm to me.....



but then again the majority of you guys are not looking at a color-corrected monitor so what i am looking at might not be what your seeing. the last few might look like the same picture over and over again.

CRT > LCD

I really don't see why.
The MKI MR2 and the Previa had a few models that were super charged so I don't see the big deal on telling the assembly line to dedicate one day of the week to make supercharged models. Preferable Wednesday. Friday cars are the worst.

Neah. I still haven't found one LCD that's better than my CRT. I have a $400 LCD and my CRT still pwns it.

I guess it's a moot point since beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

its CARB redtape from what i read, unless something has changed since it was first release.
thats why you cant buy it with the car and finance it through toyota from the start.

well im not talking $400 double that and you'll be kinda close to what we're working with
and then the extra color calibration stuff.

When I was working at a computer store, this guy comes in and complains that the monitor was defective. My friend and I looked at it and it was fine. Turns out the customer was color blind.

Of course, we had to take it back since the customer is always right. Glad he left, he was an a$s.

If it looks like that ^^ I will be kinda ____ed because I already have a hard enough time picking out the CSM from AP. But I have seen Blizzard Pearl and it does look pretty sweet, just not excited about it being a Relsease Series color. Ah well.

I was referring to the CSM look-a-like, BTW.

Stick with the stock cloth because for me, its not really an upgrade if you dont get leather. Maybe different interior trim, intead of brushed metal finish, maybe match the exterior? Different side skirt? Or just do special color, everything else the same but comes with S/C and special numbered badge! lol

I like Blizzard White Pearl. I prefer to call it Vanilla Creme because, in person, it looks like expensive vanilla ice cream. Replace the black seats with seats made from light brown leather.

Rav4, Blizzard White Pearl:
