XBSITE - The Definitive Source for the Scion xB

Can anyone confirm the RS 6.0 is going to be Red?

That is something I would speculate right now.

my wifey is a scion rep and hasnt heard nothing yet, she digs her nose in where she can, not your normal der da der rep whos just trying to sell a car.

I'd heard some rumors that the RS6 was going to be Absolutely Red. Someone over at SL found out because "red" popped up on the color list randomly in their system, much like Torched Penny did a couple of months before its arrival.

That's going to be one hot car with the red paint job. However, I do think it's weird that Scion is going through some odd color revival with their RS cars.

Is that the same red as the TC RS1?

You are correct, sir. It also was on the xA as an RS.

Anyone in the Scion know have any new info on this one?

Any rumors of what body kit this one will have?

I haven't heard anything. My guess is either Kenstyle or DAMD for the body kit.

Somebody in the Scion know told someone I know that there will be two xB RS's in 09? One of will have a Toyota Rumion kit? I am so trading my first gen for a xB2 with a Rumion kit if this is true...

WOW.

That would be badass if they came out with an RS with a Rumion front clip. It's a very classy look for the 'B.

Scion Announces Pricing for xB Release Series 6.0

To be Displayed at the 2009 North American International Auto Show

TORRANCE, Calif., January 7, 2009: Scion announced today that its first limited-production vehicle for 2009, the xB Release Series 6.0 (xB R.S. 6.0), will be available at dealer showrooms in February.

The 2009 xB Release Series 6.0 comes exclusively in Absolutely Red exterior paint. A unique front grille with custom black finish and Release Series wheel covers distinguish this limited production xB. A color-keyed rear spoiler will be available as an option.

Inside, the xB features a touch screen Pioneer Audio Visual Navigation (AVN) headunit with flash memory, voice recognition, MSN Direct, and Bluetooth®.

Absolutely Red makes its mark inside the xB as well with color-tuned four-in-one interior lights, RS 6.0 illuminated door sills, and accented interior trim and color-tuned seat fabric. The xB RS 6.0 will also be equipped with a rear cargo cover. Individually numbered badging completes the uniqueness of this vehicle.

Only 2,500 units of the xB RS 6.0 will be built. The xB RS 6.0 model will carry a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $1,743 over the base price of the xB.

The delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee for all Scion models is $670 and is not included in the MSRP. DPH fee for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota (SET) and Gulf States Toyota (GST) may vary.

WHOA!!! that sh!t is HOTT!!! i gotta say i like it much better than the Gold Rush Mica!

The grille is cool and thats it! I personally like the RS 5.0 and the color was off the hook! The body kit and moon roof alone really makes it stand out from the standard models. This RS 6.0 only has the AVN, red lights and door sills that make it different. No body kit...
