just had to say RS 6.0 disappointed!!!!!

jrcpr · 01-22-2009, 08:33 PM

I'm very disappointed for the released series 6.0 09' because my brother and I wait for this too much and I saw a very stupid version of a rs, I can't believe it.. This year the "special edition" have only 1 good stuff the radio, i believe is a freaking awesome dvd player with many features but what really happened with the xb?? only the red color??? no sunroof????, no interior of the same color???, no body kit???? nothing !!!!! you can spend 3-5K more for only a color and a radio?????? I think this movement was very disrespectful for the scion customers......

I actually like it...And it comes with color accencted interrior...red under dash LED's and a tight black grille...and the stuff u mentioned...Lol...I just hate how it comes with hub caps...

Mrs_Black_Box · 01-22-2009, 09:20 PM

they shouldn't have done the caps, instead they should have put that money else where....i love love the color...but i just think money wise they could have modded it better

I think Scion needed to keep Big Daddy Toyota out of the decision making processes. Looks like a bloated ass camry. Just my 2c.

I'm not liking it, looks like a big apple. Nothing to it, i'd almost rather see something in the middle of the grille, boring.

pelly3s · 01-22-2009, 10:24 PM

I like the color, not a huge fan of the grille though, maybe if they matched the upper and lower grilles it would be better

I like the RS door sils, aaand that is about it. I agree with the thumbs down.

I just think you could add all that stuff for a lot cheaper after market. The paint is the same color they have used before on the XA ir XD?

xBtony · 01-22-2009, 11:01 PM

Yeah..Ur totally right..and it was on the xA and tC

toaster_pilot · 01-22-2009, 11:10 PM

True but I feel like they should start with unique paint.

I just bought an xb 5.0 a few months back and was worried I would like the 6.0 more...now Im glad i bought the 5.0...I cant believe they didnt even put a sunroof in it or some kind of ground effects. It just looks like a red xb to me. I think the dash is silver accented? Might have been a little better if it was at least red accents.

They could have done more. I do like the color. I especially liked it when they used it on the tC several years back. Same thing for the grill. Seen it before. They've never re-used a color before now, so that's kind of a let down. And hub-caps? WTF?

They actually did not reuse a color(from what I am told) The 6.0's color is called Absolutely Red...

You know what? Nevermind... I just looked up the old colors, and you guys are right, it is a reused color...
the tC's Release series 1.0 used it, and so did the xA's RS 1.0. The xD's red color is called Barcelona Red which is a darker shade... hmmmm....... I was hoping for a more vibrant color that was not reused...

I can understand not coming with wheels(most will change them anyway), but not coming with a new lip kit? That confuses me... Then again the Nav unit it comes with is not the standard Scion nav unit. The new unit with give you a ton more features that the regular model does not have.

I like the 6.0, but I agree money could have been spent differently...

rs1 xb and rs1 xd are the same color....name... Hot Lava.. but put them side by side.. the rs1 xB is more orange and the xd is a bit more reddish

think the rs1's of the tC and xB came with rims, not sure bout the xA rs1...

TufankjianScion · 01-23-2009, 10:23 AM

wow! the car is a great value...dont blame toyota for this one. No blame to be had people the car is a great value and not like any other ones they have done besides color. think of the pontential with wheels and a kit

yes the xA came with rims also

Um, I'm not sure where the $3-5,000 pricetag came from. The price on the package is $1,743. Now if you can find a quality head unit that does all of that for that price alone jump on it. I personally feel that yes, the package doesn't have as much as some others, but it certainly does have a lot for the money.

As for the red, this is a color that the community has been begging for on an xB for years. I don't understand the hate on that at all.

This is going to sell extremely well.

TufankjianScion · 01-23-2009, 10:48 AM

Thank you Alex!!! and if you remeber in japan alex we asked for a red xB and we got one.....how ya been?

eggie · 01-23-2009, 11:10 AM

I said a long time ago that it was WEAK, but got slack for it.

Compare the RS5 to the 6. What a disappointment. The RS5 should have been the bar to exceed NOT limbo under. Still WEAK Scion!

Who's going to say, "WOW look at that radio, I want that car as they drive by". I have always thought an RS should be an attraction even before we make it our own. This is definately NOT an attraction.
