Hot Lava
I was going to order one in Hot Lava, but then the salesman showed me an xB on the lot and said it was also Hot Lava (and it seemed kind of pale to me). So I ordered the Red.
Does anyone know if the xB is the same Hot Lava colour as the FR-S? Thanks Gabe |

I wasn't thrilled with the color so I changed my order to silver but then the next day changed it back to hot lava. My reasoning is the silver, although a great color, looks to blah for the car ("fleet" is the term someone used and I think it accurately describes it). As for the red, I wish it was darker. It is identical to the red of the Mazda 2 I just bought for my daughter. Couldn't go that route. Good luck with it. Anyway you go it will be a good looking car. |

I asked the salesman to confirm whether the xB Hot Lave (on the lot) is the same as what's coming on the FRS. Curious to see what he says. If I don't like the colour I have the option of waiting for another car.

I can asure you that you know more about this car then the sales person you are asking. There is a lot of information here that hasn't even hit some dealers...

Jeff, just to be clear.
Are you saying that the xB and the FRS Hot Lava is the same colour? If it is, I found it to be quite pale and not vibrant at all on an xB as it appeared on my monitor. Then I had a hard time deciding between the red and the white. |

Yes, they should be the same colour. I haven't seen it in real life, or beside an xB or iQ, and it is Subaru applying the paint at a different factory, so these things need to be taken into account. So all I can confirm 100% is that the iQ and xB are the same colour, and the FR-S should be the same colour as those two as well.
