Scion has unveiled its first limited edition vehicle of the 2009 model year, the xB Release Series 6.0. Like other Scion “Release Series” limited editions before it, the xB RS 6.0, as Scion refers to the model, features a unique paint scheme – Absolutely Red – and exclusive features and trim detailing inside and out. Scion says it’ll arrive in dealerships in February.
The xB RS 6.0 features a standard Pioneer navigation system with Bluetooth, SD card, USB and iPod connectivity. It will also play DVDs and iPod videos when the xB is parked, making the Scion sort of a modern-day VW Bus with the Westfalia package – at least in our eyes.
Colored interior lights, illuminated door sills, numbered badging and unique fabric round out the interior modifications.
Outside, aside from the Absolutely Red paint, the xB RS 6.0 gets its own hubcaps and offers a $320 rear spoiler.
A manual transmission model runs $15,750 and an automatic adds $950, meaning that the xB RS 6.0 represents a $1,743 premium over the base xB.
