They were showing all 5 of the 10 Series Scions, which are all painted Ignition Silver, but 4 of those models (tC, xB, xD, and iQ) are built at Toyota plants (in Japan), while the FR-S is built at the Subaru plant (also in Japan). Subaru's paint process is different, resulting in much thinner paint, and the difference was quite noticeable seeing them all side by side.
