How are they "daring to be different" with that kit? It is a recycled design from a previous project with a few tweaks. Like stated above IMO the color and interior are nice. Just wish they had spent more time making a kit that wasn't so similar to past projects.

I like it. The kit looks good even though it is recycled. Different would have been better but it is better than the RS 6.0 for sure. I like the exhaust. But the tips could prolly be an inch bigger around and it would look even better!

Sorry, the combination of body kit, color, and exhaust look both pretty unique and effective to me. Now, maybe one of those elements has been used on a previous xB1 RS (since I've no idea what project you're talking about), but that package definitely looks different to me. And I'd bet most people would have a similar response.

Thanks for the info -- now I now what he's talking about 
! Not sure I've even seen an xD on the road yet, but no doubt eventually I will.
=====================================================
Just looked up the two vehicles and although the nose design is certainly similar -- I definitely wouldn't called it the same. Also, I'm not clear how it can be reasonably expected that each release series have a completely unique body kit from every other (including across model lines). It seems to me the typical xB1 RS was primarily differentiated by paint and rims -- not by body kits. Why this expectation?

the RS body kits by the same manufacturer on other models have yet to look the same before.
the RS kenstyles from the xA, xB and tC were all different, the DAMD used on the RS4 tC is different then the xD/xB

I like it a LOT. It looks really nice in those photos. If I didn't already have my RS6, I'd buy an RS7.
A lot of people hate on the RS6, but the price was low enough (thanks to cash for clunkers, I got mine for under $16k) that I've been able to mod it and outfit it the way I want. Just got my Five Axis body kit installed today, and it really looks nice.
But what can I say, I'm a sucker for red cars. But that purple looks SWEET, too.

Looks darned good to me! And I still think it looks unique and different . Despite some commonality with the xD RS 1.0 nose, this one is still different, and more importantly, the elements work well together, creating an integral and artistic whole. Kinda sexy really !
