Default That's the grill I want

The Series 2.0 has the grill I want on my '05 Silver Streak Mica xA. If anyone hears of a way to get one aftermarket, post it here. (I wouldn't mind having the whole car, actually).

Those rims are yuck! They look like the largest rims you can get for the xA through the dealer... Why didn't they go with a different Enkei 17" design?

Two things:

1. They should have waited a little longer...

2. They should have done a better job all around...

To me it looks like it was just thrown together just to have a "Release Series" to market. I am surely glad I have the xA RS 1 more than ever now. I hope if there are any RS 3 cars coming that they put a little more time and effort into the creative proccess.

Just my $0.02

I like the color too, more then I thought I would. I think my second thought was also "where is the sunroof?"

I'll see your $.02 and raise ya $.02! OK so maybe I'm a bit biased but the 2.0 doesn't seem as "special" IMO. No Moonroof, no TCS and those wheels are fugly.

Hmmm.. Kinda reminds me of the RS1 xB as far as what it comes with.

- limited color, badge and fabric
- fog lights
- grill
- spoiler
- LEDs
- floor mats

Everything else they mention is extra.

That price is crazy though.. 13,045 for stock and 14,745 for the RS2. That's $1700 for grill, spoiler, LED's, fogs, and floor mats. Or, if you prefer, $500 for the grill and the special color stuff.

The RS1 XB was unique in that it was chreaper than the sum of it's parts. However, the price they charge for the LED's is CRAZY, not to mention the slightly wacked prices for everything else.

I wonder if they forgot to list the wheels? Otherwise, if that is all they added to make it an "RS" series... Lame!

IT DOES NOT COME WITH THOSE WHEELS!

Just like the photos of the RS2 xB it had those dealer option wheels on it. They don't come with the package, it's all listed there.

I think it's OK, I like the red with moonroof more though!

Blue cold air intake and b pillar appliques. WOW. Not that big of a deal, but I love the color. I would have liked for them to put a sunroof on it.

I am wondering if I should trade mine in and have them swap my springs and rims out.

::Edit::

I take it back, the cold air intake and the pillar appliques are extra $. Wow, this car doesn't really offer much that is speacial, besides the color.

Sorry superjeer, I should have read your entire post. My bad.

this is lame...
anyone else notice that all the new RS have been pretty lame and getting lamer?
... not to mention there are already blue xAs...

I was hoping for something good with the RS2, but I guess the wait wasn't worth it... I wonder if RS1s are still available...

its at the point where all we're really getting with an RS is the plaque and some colored flecks
