Interesting color! Looks much better than I expected on an xB. 
(It looks really close to the color my dad had on his '51 Chevy turtleback sedan, actually.)
Looks much better on the box. :D

there is no way that is factory paint... i cant believe you guys havent realized that yet.... i cant wait til the new RS comes out and is nothing close to green... why do you people speculate so much... my attorney says its not good to speculate... look at the side mirror bases... how many xB's have you seen with factory painted mirror bases??? i have seen none

that is NOT the new color for the RS.
i dont have good eyes, but that doesnt look photoshopped from what i can see. if they did, they did a damn good job because the lines of black and shadows arent covered.
that is NOT the RS color so dont get confused. the green mica for the new RS3 xB is brighter and more vibrant, not dull and pale looking.

Pictures of the new green have been posted. They are not shown on the xB, but on the Toyota Vitz. It is the exact color code, so there is no question on the color.
It is an awesome color! I saw it in Japan last year, and have been waiting for it to come out. Already have my order in!!
It also has some amazing equipment on it...nothing like the last two RS. Haven't heard a price yet, but I would expect it to be be quite a bit more...
Here is the link for the color:

I can't be positive, but I do think that the vdub-green one above was photoshop. The image was taken with a sony cybershot, and edited in a linux program called 'gimp', at least that much I can get by viewing the bytecode from the image. There are a couple of things in the image that tells me it started out as a TCM.
Of course, some of this could be due to the image compression, but in addition to the things below, there is a 'halo' around the car, especially over the hood (as it blends into the building with the circular windows). That tells me it was probably dinked with. Damn good job though! (and better than my pink one!)
Still, none of this accounts for the fact that the mirror mount is painted, which was a fantastic catch.

That isnt missing chunks. Thats how the front end looks and as far as the back goes, its the angle of the car, so thats why you think it looks a little funny. I guess we will have to see when it comes out.... I'm sure its the Mica that everyone keeps talkin about though...
