Oops, looks like the picture didn't accompany the quote. Zoombie's post was the 2nd one on the 2nd page. It's kind of a dark blue...........

The 2013 RX has:
"Exterior colors (9): Claret Mica, Silver Lining, Nebula Gray Pearl, Obsidian, Satin Cashmere Metallic, Meteor Blue Mica, Starfire Pearl, Stargazer Black, Fire Agate"
So the blue is officially "Meteor Blue Mica".

That's correct. The official product information press release has all the features, with new ones noted in bold type.

The 13's are here now as well. The new blue is fantastic. Saw it a few months ago on a new GS at the release party

The blue color is called Deep Sea Mica. It is a dark blue. Meteor Blue Mica not available on the rx so no light blue color which is a bummer!

Metoer is what I saw on the GS. Spectacular. No light blue, nor dark blue, nor gray, nor steel blue... something really difference and sweet.

Now I've seen the Deep Sea Mica and that's still a sweet color. And I don't really care for blue as an exterior color choice.

Just received confirmation with the VIN for my 2013 RX450h special order placed in early March (replacing my 2012 order from 11/9/2011), IT IS BUILT, and that it is scheduled to be on a ship departing Japan 5/18, taking a couple of weeks to hit the West coast and then my dealer in Escondido. I should have delivery before mid-June and will post pictures and details within a couple days of delivery after I get my own initial detailing regime completed..

(For those following my ordering saga and forum posts since last November, this one won't come with the blind spot monitor replacing the wide view monitor on the 2012 and previous MY. The blind spot monitor is still not available, and won't be until later in the summer. I'm not changing this order again! )

Can someone help me here, the RX hybrid is made in Japan and all other RX's are made in Canada ? Is that correct ? Has there been any consensus as to if the Japanese Hybrid is built better by any means ?
