I'd love to see it in atomic silver. GREAT color.
They have atomic silver on the LS in Canada but not in the US...kinda like USB for the IS. Weird.

I wonder why USB is not on the RX?

These are from the Austria training event. The black is a new shade, graphite black if I remember correctly.
New colours for the RX are atomic silver, the new red (think it may be infrared but could be matador) and graphite black.
Interior colours include black, brown, grey, beige and red depending on spec

Noticeably increased rear rake vs 3RX and NX
I measured this to see how much more the NX's rear hatch was raked versus the 3RX and to my surprise, they are virtually identical. It must be the more sloped roofline and high rear belt line that gives the illusion of increased rake. So for completion, I also added the 4RX since it does look more raked, and thankfully my eyes are not playing tricks on me here and in fact it is, almost coupe-like.

So much for getting a third row in there...

I think the rake looks smaller in the NX because the rear bumper seems deeper than the RX and the tailgate is taller. Therefore bottom of the bumper to the bottom of the window is greater in the NX leading to a window that looks relatively small - thereby causing an illusion of a smaller rake.
The 4RX is actually lower than the 3RX so it may be to accomodate the fact that it got shorter and longer.

Has anyone noticed the unevenness of the back carpet for the back seats at the hinge when the seats are folded down? The carpet seems to arch up. I find it unattractive compared to the smooth and neat transition from cargo area to the back seat on some other cars like x3. I don't own any previous rx, so I don't know if it behaves the same in the previous models.
Also, I am not sure I like the auto back seat folding function. It seems to be very slow. I'd rather have the lever for the manual fold, much quicker. I hope the auto folding is something I can opt out.

Is the white bimmer running interference for the RX?

The rake is greater on the 4RX. It does make sense though - logically the vertical length has to remain the same as the 3RX to ensure the driver can see what's behind. The RX got longer so to keep the vertical height the same, the rake needs to be greater
