Scion Uncovers the Ultra-Blue xB Release Series 8.0

[OmarKareem]

Another year, another Scion Release Series. This time it’s the xB RS 8.0, which will be officially unveiled in a few days at the 2010 LA Auto Show

As the name suggests, this will be the eighth version of the limited-run RS xB. What does Scion have in store for this one

First up, and perhaps most obvious is an all new color, something Scion calls “Voodoo Blue.” It doesn’t have quite the depth of the “Speedway Blue” found on the recent Scion tC RS 6.0, but looks really good. Wearing the new color is an all-around body kit styled by Kenstyle, who has done the RS body kits for Scion in the past. In addition to the Kenstyle logo shamelessly placed behind the front wheel well, the body kit gets a front, rear lower valance, and side skirts. An optional rear spoiler is also available for $320

Inside, you’ll get color-matched everything, including a black fabric with blue highlights seating surface, RS logo floor and cargo mats, and a cool new illuminated numbered badge – that’s a first for me. You’ll also get a power tilt & slide sunroof as standard

As usual, only 2,000 xB RS 8.0s will be produced, and start at $18,405 for a standard transmission.
