Nothing depresses me more...

...Than buying performance parts for a car that I haven't taken possession of yet.
I'm patiently waiting to know if there's an xB RS 2.0 with my name out there....My Scion contact initially said he would be able to get me a 2.0 in 5 speed within a few weeks, until he tried getting them from other dealers...They were either sold or the dealer didn't want to give it up. He requested a car with my specs to be allocated into his inventory, which I should know if he got the car in his allocation on monday. If not, I'm going to have to settle for a regular xB in 5 speed. If so, I should see the car sometime towards the end of April. I already purchased springs for it, I pretty much decided which wheels I want, but it depends what color car I get (if not the yellow 2.0) as the ultimate decision maker. I have a few other small things I want to get as well, but most important to me is to change the wheels/tires and lower the car a bit. Ok, finished bitching, carry on!

Still can't find one, eh Ed ??

Hopefully they'll turn one up this week. The 2.0 is hawt, and with gas prices the way they are, I've been thinking that a 4 cly car might not be a bad idea.

Made in one color (Solar Yellow)
Only 2500 of them (numbered with a plaque)
Color Tuned interior fabric
Rear Spoiler
Side Mirrors with Turn Signal built in
Mesh Grille
DC Sports Exhaust
Door Sill Applique

It's not such a big deal, your talking about a price difference of about + $1,300 for the 2.0 over the base car.

Is all that a standard package?

^^^ That's where I've been posting for info. It's not such a bad site, but it's a little "dead" in comparison to this site with responses. Also, their search function sucks ass, so you see the same posts over and over and over....

CLeanB, yes, I'll be using it to commute back and forth to work, but it will be my car, generally. I'll be using it 99% of the time.

My rep called me and told me he did get a car in his allocation....So there is one out there with my name on it. I should see it in a couple of weeks.
