The light up badges on the xB are kinda cool and the color of the paint is just awesome but other then that all we get some special floor mats, some interior badges and honey comb grille.

I want to feel the suede "style" seats. I might have to keep an eye out for a wrecked one to snag them out of in the future.

Don't forget about the suede "style" seat with color matched stitching.

$1,810 premium in price seems a bit much for this. No lip kit, no sunroof, no stereo/navi upgrade. Maybe that's why they're only building 1500... not expecting them to fly off the showroom floor.

quite disappointing. Basically a different color and a badge.

Pathetic, but I'm not surprised any more by what Scion does (or doesn't for better words).

WOW showstopper!

Where was the inspiration after the murasaki xB? That was actually a great RS, but what's up with this reused paint from the RS1 xB? And glowing badges that use $3 LEDs and a few wires? And seats? Really? That's it? No sunroof, no kit?

Plus Hot Lava is an available stock color on the iQ. Did anyone else notice they failed to match the door panels on the xB? Looks terrible IMO and might be a pain to match the material afterwards.

At least the ugly amber interior LEDs will finally match the car.

Orange is my favorite color, but I bet some clazzios will do better than those suede imitation, that honey comb grill looks good on the tc (not so much on the 2gen XB2 and for last, that big scion logo on front looks kind of ricer to me.

I actually like it. If I hadn't traded my 09 Xb in on a Civic Si, I'd be all over this RS9.
Thought about trading in my winter beater for one but then I'd be broke as a joke with two car payments.
