Scion_xB_RS_6.0_1.jpg

Scion fans with a taste for car tech will want to check out the xB Release Series 6.0, a limited production version that features an array of navigation, entertainment, media tools, and other options centered around a 5.8-inch touch screen Audio Visual Navigation (AVN) head unit—although so far (for mysterious reasons) the company has chosen only to release a couple of vague, black-and-white photos of it.

The AVN head unit features flash memory, voice recognition, MSN Direct, and Bluetooth connectivity. It also comes with an SD card reader, iPod connector, and a USB port. It's satellite and HD Radio ready, and can play DVDs and iPod videos whenever the transmission is in park. The owner can also customize the display and choose from over 32,000 colors.

As equipped, the car starts at $17,493 for the manual and $18,443 for automatic transmission-equipped versions. Only 2500 will be made. Look for the vehicle at the Detroit Auto Show next week beginning January 11th. (And seriously, guys, lose the B&W filter—it's a Scion with a nav unit, not a new Ferrari.)
