    LA 2009: Scion xB Release Series 7.0 limited to 2,000 copies

    Scion xB Release Series 7.0 - Click above for high-res image gallery

    Just yesterday we shared with you some pics of and specs on the latest Scion Release Series, the xB 7.0. It's a tradition of sorts for Scion to come out with a new Release at the LA Auto Show. For this go-around, Scion seems to have been indulging in some fermented grapes, as the bloody thing is painted Murasaki! That would be purple for those of us not fluent in Japanese. Well, we have just one thing to say now that we've seen it in person, we're glad it's going to be limited to just 2,000 units.

    It's not so much the underlying xB, or the DAMD body kit, or the custom stitching on the interior. It's not the TRD springs for sure, and the new exhaust tips aren't that bad. It's just that when the whole thing is swathed in purple, we can't get past the color. In any case, you can check out the high-res gallery below and the press release after the jump and judge the 7.0 for yourself.

    Will people really fight over 2000 of an even uglier version of the nasty looking xB? Who care if it's limited? Ferrari's are limited too. ;)

    Minus the color and maybe add some meatier tires, I might be on crack but I kinda like the curves and the front. The side skirts need to be changed to something a bit less rice-looking.

    all exotic cars are not production cars,thats the reason why is soo expensive to buy.

    seriously the color is not that bad,you got every color in the world,red,blue,green,yellow(ugly),black,grey,graphite grey,white,maroon and etc...and its not just a base flat purple but more of metallic purple.
