Hasn't anyone considered just going to Maaco or some other reputable establishment and getting your ride repainted?

When I get mine I'm doing that... maybe I could just get one unpainted so I can get the iridescent look right on. XD

Seriously, which paint color is least expensive for insurance?

How much more than a regular xA was the RS one?
$2,200

Whatever money you end up saving in insurance, won't pay off the price it took to paint the car. Also resale value will go down as factory paint is always favorable.

They'll probably put stability and traction control as well as a stiffer suspension.

An electric Blue color would be cool but it'd be doubtable because of the indigo.

They'll probably put some nice big 18-19" wheels on it and add a nice exaust to it also.

Maybe suade or leather seats.

I'm betting it'll cost round $3K

Doubtful. Traction control is not necessary nor cost effective in an add on package that has cost just over 2 grand in the other scions. [/quote]

I would love to see Royal Saphire Pearl (hello Scion are you listening?) on the tC.

No chance 18s or 19s AND traction control AND leather or suede seats AND suspension will cost only 3 grand.

But the one you're getting isn't a Scion Release Series tC.

Heard today from my salesman the following (and I don't thin khe's making it up, he's not that creative ...)

Next RS is a bright yellow xB similar to the orange RS 1.0.

6 months later, bright red RS 1.0 tC with supercharger, wheels, other goodies.

6 months after that, supercharged xA with wheels, goodies, etc. I forget if he mentioned the color.

He said he got all this info at the latest Scion dealers meeting.

I do like the Lava Orange, if slightly tinted more red. It's a color that's great on choppers and is is actually coming out on the redesigned Audi A6:

So I have to wait a year for a white, supercharged xA (which I would be very interested in.)

I'm still calling shenanigans on this deal. I don't trust most dealer info, especially info a year out.

I think a Hyper Yellow would be the best way to go, simular to the yellow on the 2005 250z roadster.

Red make sence tho because it's a pre-existing Toyota color, and ob course the xA RS 1.0.

I saw a white tc series 1 scion today in Columbia,SC! On the dash there was a plaque that said 1 of 200. The only stuff i saw different about it was that it had a billet grille, lip kit and spoiler. The wheels were the same, but it still looked good . On the inside, it had leather seats and a cool lookin automatic shift **** was silver mesh and leather. There was this Japanese guy looking at it when i got there and i think he brought the car.
Price was $23000

Yeah, that's what was mentioned in this thread. It's a ripoff.

The RS 1.0 tC will be Absolutely Red and is supposed to be out in the spring. They are going to make more of these, like 2500.

Here's the scoop on the Special Edition TC. Just bought one last week. Leathe seats with embroidered headrests. Speaker upgrade with 100 wattt amp and subwoofer. Ground effects kit, tinted windows, OBX Sport Pedals, and OBX Leather wrappped shifter. The package was 4K. Scion is making 500 of these.
