Scion has unveiled a third limited-production Scion for 2008, the xD Release Series 1.0 (xD RS 1.0) slathered in Hot Lava exterior paint. The dramatic exterior is dressed with a DAMD body kit, rear spoiler, and Release Series wheel covers. The stance is hunkered down with TRD lowering springs. Inside, the xD RS 1.0 applies the vibrant exterior color to accent seats and interior trim, and finishes with a RAZO Release Series shift knob. Like all Release Series vehicles, an individually numbered badge completes the uniqueness of this vehicle.
Only 2,000 units of the xD RS 1.0 will be built. The xD RS 1.0 model adds $1,999 to the base price of the xD, putting the manual transmission model at $14,550, while the MSRP for the automatic transmission model is $15,350. Add on $620 for destination charges, and you have a very distinctive, highly fuel-efficient hatchback for a touch over $16k.
The xD Release Series 1.0 will be available at dealer showrooms beginning in June.
