I just purchased my first Scion, a 2009 xB in Stingray Metallic. I'm still learning how to post pics, but here is a link to my pics.

It's a great color. The only other color I wanted was a medium gray (which only comes in xD....boo), or black (too hot in the summer time here and shows dirt in the winter).
Stingray is a great color. Doesn't show too much dirt. It's a med. gray at sunset, othertimes it's either gray or blueish in certain light. The scion website has a horrible pic and the paint chip for it is not correct. You really have to see in person. I'll try to get some more pics in different light.

please - don't take it personally if you have one in this color, but i really dislike it. It just doesn't fit the brand at all for me - looks like a 70 year old should be driving it in that color... Powder blue? Why not a bolder color for the new year, scion??

I have yet to see one on a lot in the Atlanta area. Come to think of it, I have seen very few xB's at all. My local Scion has 2 '08 silvers, '09 Black, and '08 Crush loaner. They tried to get me into the loaner but I am not really excited about how it was treated.

Just fyi though...white, black and silver aren't exactly "bold" either. And its definitely not powder blue. The tC's azure pearl is way more powder blue. Must see it in person to appreciate the color.

Im not decided on that color yet, it looks cool just a darker silver. I guess some tints and black or gunmetal wheels will make it look sick (in a good way). 
Whats up with the more outlandish colors that were out for XB1 (green yellow mustard). Why is scion being conservative. Definitely the stingray over teal anytime.

Alright, just got my enkei's on so I figured I'd post a few pics of my stingray... It was funny, I had no idea that the color was new. My wife and I went to the dealership 2 weeks ago and I was, "I want that one"... It was that simple, I love the color...
