There will be no '07 models of the xB. Sorry to hurt any feelings or step on any toes. There will be a new release series for the xA and xB in the latter part of this year.

So, everyone save up to by the final release series...or the new '08s. Scion will stick to the 3 models so don't worry.
So, according to you, there will be an xA RS3.0 and another xB RS4.0?
If I am reading this right, we have 2006 xB, xA, tC. Then just the tC in 2007. Then 2 new models in 2008 that will come out in the beginning 2007??
Still sounds riddiculous IMO. xA and xB are selling way to well for them not to release it.
Well......it is the middle of June when several 2007 models are released, yet we haven't even seen a single "official" picture from Scion on the new models. This pretty much means there wont be any new 2007's. Maybe they plan on releasing the RS3 xA and RS4 xB really late this year, and having those carry over into the begining 2007.
We were told by region that we were gonna have an inventory of just tCs for awhile. They will release the 08s in early 07. I don't know when they will release the RS3 xA and RS4 xB, but I've seen the color for the xA on dealer daily. While region was here showing us something new, they came across a color palette with the RS3 xA color. It wasn't suppose to be up there but it was. They made a call to get it off there pronto. Once that happened, they told us what the xB color was too. They are both pretty sweet colors.
I reluctantly posted the first time in this thread because of all the negative people, and its not like i'm the know-it-all. I'm just the informed.

I'm curious how they will have 2 release series in the same model year.
04 was rs1.0
05 was rs2.0
06 was rs3.0
That's the three year cycle as was promised to all us customers by Scion. So if no 07', there should be no rs4.0. Right?

LMAO, nice try bBlover. I just don't see RS4.0 coming out even if they do make some 07' xB's (rebadged leftover 06's). Look how long the RS3.O's took to get released. Heck they are still not all sold.

Their was the Release Series 3.0 xB, Release Series tC 2.0, the Release Series 3.0 xA, then at the bottom of the old release series page theri was a Release Series 4.0 xB, which is now gone, so I honestly dont think their going to do it... I think the RS3 xB was the last one... Considering they re-did the Release series page and its now www.releasethethree.com

There really shouldn't be a 4.0 anyway.... Just 3 models in the line-up, each having 3 special editions. That sounds about right...
They're already working on a new xB, and probably an RS1.0 for that one.
The 3rd release series should mark the end for that model in the line-up.
They should take the redesigned xB, and make a new RS1.0 in "Hotter Lava"

Not really, I think the idea of having one final release series to cap off the model would be great. Maybe one that is a little different than your normal Scion. Say something boosted to around 180hp, 6 speed, AWD, with a better ICE setup than the RS3. Would be more expensive, but....it would be very limited too.

Best suggestion for finding one will be searching dealer inventory and making lots of calls. Also widen your search area. This late in the game you may have to take a road trip to find one of the few remaining un-sold RS3.0's.
