TORRANCE, California — The 2011 Scion xD Release Series 3.0 will start at $17,625 for the base model with a five-speed manual transmission and $18,425 for the four-speed automatic-transmission version, Toyota said on Thursday. Prices include a $720 destination charge.
In comparison, the base 2011 Scion xD with a manual transmission starts at $15,765, including shipping. A base level automatic-equipped Scion xD starts at $16,565.
The xD RS 3.0 is equipped with a four-piece body kit including front and rear lower lips, along with side skirts. Scion says the exterior paint is called "xPRESSO" and isn't offered on any other Scion model. The special model also gets B-pillar appliqués that are made from "genuine carbon-fiber material" and feature the xD RS logo.
Scion said only 1,500 units of the xD RS 3.0 will be built.
Inside Line says: Be prepared to shell out $1,860 to add a little dose of style to your 2011 Scion xD. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent

"A weak competitor to the KIA Soul"? The 'Killed-In-Action' Soul?
Get real. Japan versus Korea is bullet proof versus throw away. Take if from a retired new car salesman.

They could have at least put some rims on it and make it available in something other than that poop brown color.

This sums up why the Scion brand is such crap right now after startign with such promise.
Oh yeah, and the fact it's a 4-speed tranny. My 08 Fusion has a 6-speed auto, standard on the V6 models. Just sayin'.

Toyota is still making four-speed automatics?
Now we know why Scion sold less than 900 xDs last month. That's about one per dealer for the whole month. Maybe this special edition will get xD sales to soar to two veehicles per dealer per month.

wow. i actually feel ashamed they even call this an exclusive edition. The styling is subpar compare to current market offerings and the price is unbelievable high for such model range, not to mention scion prices are often not negtiable.
Please step up scion.
