huh? I don't see it in your pic. I've seen the RX with a faint greenish tint, but never a GS.

I thought most if not all Toyota/Lexus have green tint, our 2k sienna have it.

this sienna's not ours, but you could see it's got the green tint


you can even see it in edmunds' website

Yeah, they all have it. It's very light green. It's hard to pick up unless you look at it in the right light and at the right angle.
