I've been asking for a smaller displacement turbo set up since I started with Scion in 06'. No luck so far, but our Subaru joint venture would def. help that option being considered in the future.

It just pains me that mom, driving her stock 2007 Forrester and hauling her 3 kids home from soccer practice after getting the groceries will smoke me in my 2011 tC...

@ mightyp why would scion do the 7.0 release series in a color that is available to everyone (jet black is the only black available now no more BSP) and they could never get away with smoked tail lights and headlights. Those are things you would have to do and hope to not get pulled over for...

Here's what I would like to see for the RS. Army rock paint stock wheels in a matte black finish, black alcantera seats with tan inserts (or vice versa), smart key (which is a possibility), a ground effects kit and a special grill.

Nothing too extreme but would be affordable and appealing. I'd buy one.

We might have to photoshop that color combo and see how it looks. haha. Good to hear that smart key is a desired feature.

Well, okay, I didn't realize smoked lights were illegal (never did the research), but I'm fairly certain there are tail & head lights with black housings that are legal. My point was to have lights that complete the black out look.

As for using black paint, I go on 2 premises. First, there are many types of "black." Wouldn't take much to get a special "black" for the RS. Second, I like the idea of black, over yellow or red, because of it's appeal to the masses. If I'm Toyota/Scion Corporate, I want at least 1/2 my RSs sold before they even hit showrooms. I want people lining up and black gives me that broad appeal I lose with just about any other color. The Harley Davidson F-150 and the Black Ops Jeep Wrangler are both good examples of a special black.

I'm also a big fan of blue and the smart key...

right but as a manufacturer are you going to make a special edition that is pretty much the same color as the car you offer thats not special? there are only so many ways you can make black

If it were up to me? Probably. But that is the ultimate question with any special edition. You want special enough it's different, but not so special no one buys the car.

well they did it with the rs1 xa.. and rs1 tC.. who knows maybe.. highly doubt it..


but damm that rear bumper is fugly

RS1.0 xA and tC.. and the RS1.0 xB and xD shared the same color

there isn't a 2nd gen xB that shared an RS color with a 1st gen..
and thus the same pattern will predict that the 2nd gen tC is not going to do the same thing.. thus.. no 2nd gen Absolute Red.

your logic does not make any sense by comparing it from two different model vehicles.

^Repeating a RS color for a xB2 from a xB1, no. But from another Gen 1 Scion sure...

That's the trick, isn't it!

Some of you guys have some interesting ideas about the tC2 R.S.

and to tell you the truth yellow might not be so bad just depends on the shade of yellow used i found this shot someone made up in yellow and i kind of like it

^^I'd rock that tC but I doubt the RS will have a widebody kit and I think thats the reason why it looks really good.

mixD

yeah the wide body does look good but just to show that yellow on this car realy wont look to bad if toyota uses the right shade and maybe put some pearl in and i would buy a yellow rs model for sure

So Yellow? Final Answer? I thought people would post pictures of other cars with cool colors that they would like to see on an R.S tC2.

Something from Maziora, doesn't have to be Torched Penny. They need to really do this one nice and set the bar up and challenge themselves, if not, that's just laziness and lack of creativity. With the RS 6.0 I think they fell off, step it up, and no more stripes.
