Scion has a few more tricks up its sleave for the '06 model year. Unfortunately they don't go in this particular forum to give you a hint...

How would something coming out next Fall still be an 06"??? By next Fall Oct. the 06 model run will be gone along with the xB. Or is all that info about the models running for 3 years just a bunch of poop?

end of the run big bang.

Ooo, maybe they'll include that neat feature that completely eliminates friction, so you don't have to break in the car!!

I believe I am going to forego the RS3 and wait to see what the RS4 has to offer.

I seriously doubt there will be a bB package. While it does sound like something Toyota could do, i doubt it.

There will definitely be no RHD package, main reason is because not many people would know how to drive a RHD car properly. Especially with a manaul tranny. Luckly, i have driven once or twice a RHD converted car. So much fun. But it definitely wouldn't appeal to many, and i could see accidents with many with RHD due to the fact most americans are already poor drivers compared to other countries such as Germany.

At most they would rebadge with Toyota and bB emblems, maybe a different grille, maybe something interior wise with a bB emblem, limited color and maybe a set of rims with bB in the middle. Think realistically guys, they haven't done anything too drastic with any other limited edition. Why would they invest so much with complete badges, rhd conversion and other things and keep the price reasonable? I dont see it happening. If it does, i will gladly take that back and buy one. But i seriously doubt it.

thats kinda funny that theyre even gonna have a "bB package", seeing as how theyre discontinuing the old model bB's in japan. hehe, maybe dumping whats left on us?

I was also told that some companies like Garson have already stopped making old bB kits, because theyre all working on the new bB's.

No, there is not a law against RHD!

You can buy a Jeep Wrangler with RHD in the US if you want one.

There is not much demand for RHD outside of contract postal delivery.

I don't think they would go as extreme as RHD. Full bB badges/door sills//floor mats/rear view mirror/ect., with some rims with the bB logo, I can see that happen.

Also no tint is possible, and maybe the lighted bB "oven" up front. Hell, maybe even Nav that displays bB on start up, and some HID headlights.

But RHD, I seriously doubt it...

I wonder why the scion website has xB RS4 coming soon??? I find that odd being that the RS3 was barely released... they could of at least waited until they unveiled the xA RS3 and tC RS2 before teasing us with an xB RS4... the nerve!

Technically the same can be said for the tC. That doesn't mean that they can't add a blitz or a greddy.

I have it on pretty good authority that the next gen. of xB will not be several things
1 no open deck
2 no supercharger
3 no t2b

Some of the things it will be are truely americanized!
1 the xB will be bigger
2 a bigger engine 2.4 L
3 some different upgrades
4 the R.S. 4.0 color will be a huge shock it however will not be chamilion
