As has typically been the case with these special editions, the xB Release Series 7.0 will sport a standard body kit and an unmistakable color palette inside and out.<\/p>\n<p>For numero 007, Toyota has chosen a four-piece DAMD body kit that includes front and rear lower lips plus a set of side skirts. It&#8217;s certainly not the best looking body kit available, but the real kicker is the color. The hue is called Murasaki, which means &#8220;purple&#8221; in Japanese. Yep, purple.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, black fabric seats will be highlighted with more matching purple insets and a leather-wrapped RAZO GT Formula Spec shift knob. Suspension bits are upgraded with TRD lowering springs and a new exhaust system features a sportier sound and twin center-mounted tail pipes. For what it&#8217;s worth, there&#8217;s an optional rear spoiler but no alloy wheels.<\/p>\n<p>Those with a hankering for a Grimace-inducing-and-recalling Scion will be able to get one of the 2,000 planned models for $18,320 with a manual transmission or $19,270 with an automatic (plus a $670 shipping and handling fee) starting this month.
