So if this came true from the page of ScionHiddenCode.com that would mean that the black xA should be available in May.

Spectra Blue Mica 08M6 is the only "unsusal" color on the xA preference request. This has been the case for all previous release series cars. I hear they will change the xA color palette from Phantom Gray to flint Mica for 06 as well

i'm wondering if absolutely red will really be a limited color...only the xA and xB state the color will be limited..xA "only 1550 will exist in Absolutely Red"..xB "only 2500 will ever exist in Solar Yellow"...the tC only says 2500 series 1.0 will be produced...i say this because my father bought a limited edition Miata years ago that came with black paint, tan leather and BBS wheels..the next year Mazda offered black as a standard color and not long after you could get tan leather on any color..

You would just own an 06' "Absolutely Red" tC...Not a Release Series.
IMO it may ____-off a few people if the release color tC is re-Released.

TC release series
guys when the tc wasnt even on sale. they had a drawing posted on this site. a greenish yellow TC next to an interview with the CEO of Toyota or something like that. they had the same thing with the XA for the red and the orange for the XB. and those were the colors chosen even before they came out. Im pretty sure they had all 3 colors picked out when Scion launched in the states. well now XB r.r. 2 comes in yellow. so i wouldnt doubt it if the R.R. for the TC came out like just like that drawing. lowered, new springs, 18" wheels, TRD exaust, the body kit and the spoiler.

It looks perty but if it's gonna be overpriced.... blah.
The tC release series 1.0 will add $1775 to the MSRP. All of the cars allocated to our region have side airbags ($650)
