So what would you suggest for an RS series besides a unique color? (which would probably be the light blue that Subbie has)
If anything, I would suggest simply bringing an 86 GT spec version with the push button start/stop, auto-dual zone climate control, leather/Alcantara seats, and HID/LED headlamps. But offering it in only one color would blow for everyone who doesn't like that color. Which is why I think Scion is way too limited the way they've been running things and they'd be much better off actually giving people options now like nearly every other manufacturer in the world does.

But as I posted previously in my plea/suggestion to Scion, simply making a few things standard like the HID/LED headlamps and the red stitched leather e-brake would satisfy many people and bring more customers to Scion vs Subaru. And then offering things like fog lights, navigation, and SiriusXM radio as options to be dealer installed would satisfy those who need them and would make Scion a little extra money. But as they are now, not offering any real options is ridiculous. They need to either start offering these options on the Scion, or sell a higher spec model as a Toyota.
