What color is the RS for 2008 xb? And will they charge more than a non-rs with the same accessories?

 

No idea on the color for the first RS B, there's always rampant speculation around here until somebody knows for sure. Not even sure if they are going to number them the same. Is it going to be a RS 5.0 (5th RS) or is it going to be RS 1.2? RS 1.1? I'm not sure yet.

You'll never know the true price of the accy's because it's all bundled together in a package that is considerablly cheaper than if you outfitted them ala cart. Plus there's the RS only accy's like the grill on the tC RS 2.0 Blue Blitz Mica. It's only on that car, and the dealer can only put it on a VIN that is attached to that car. And it's replacement cost is like $900 too. I hear they are like gold on the classified sections.

 

It depends on the color of your local dirt.

(I'm not entirely joking.)

I was advised that every dealership built the xBs they are receiving which means they are building the $20k+ xB.

 

Black on a small vehicle shouldn't be that bad to take care of. I wash all my vehciles at least once a week.

I didn't really like the other color choices too much. I think the xB looks the best in Black.

White was my 2 nd choice, This is my first Black vehicle. I'll let you know what I think in the future.

 

Not necessarily. My first one is, because it's not really for sale, but the 3 I got in allocation today are bone stock, I even resisted the urge to put the premium radio on them.

 

Here's a couple tips for the black vechile.

1. Waxing the car by hand is a must. NO RANDOM ORBIT. Don't do the karate kid wax on wax off crap either. Long horizontal strokes help prevent clear coat swirls. Only use waxes that you are sure have no abrasives. This really goes for any dark colored car.

2. NEVER EVER EVER, take it to a carwash that has any brushes that hit the car. Even the so called Soft Cloth... The car before yours might leave debris in the brushes that will ruin your finish. (happened to me)

3. Detailer Spray is fine, if and only if you have a good waxing.

4. Get a garage.

5. The first chip you get, you'll cry.

6. There are products that can polish swirls out of clear coat. They are sometimes called "Hand Clensers". They are excellent to restore some of that great look after some wear.

7. Don't sit, lean, slide, on your paint!

Other than that they are a breeze.



Other than that.

 

/\ you forgot Zaino....

and watch dirt roads or areas with high pollen as you will have to re wash the thing often...

 

I was on the site...the only option it would let me select was an automatic.....

 

Ok, you can get it in an 5 sp. too. The mix is going to be about 80/20 auto/5sp or there abouts. That was probably their only one for the moment, but they'll have more today.

 

Wow.. I didn't know black required so much work to deal with. I think I'm going to get silver now...

 

I just confirm mine will be here on May 9th I will post picture then.

 

I never let anyone other than me, wash and/or wax my vehicles. I may use the local do it yourself Spray car wash once in a while to remove pollen, dust, etc. Have an orbital buffer, don't like it.

I only hand wax all my vehicles, I have 2 double enclosed garages ( 4 spaces) and one Double Car Aluninum Carport.

My dad had a 02 F-150 Reg cab , Black. I had no problens taking care of his truck.

I never lay all over my car, lean on it, etc.

Thanks for the tips.. What you said implies to all vehicles, no matter what color.
