    I really liked Timberland Mica, although the new Spuce isn't too bad. Also Silver Streak FTMFW!

    Ummm...because it's the most awesome color this world or any other has ever seen?
    When babies see it, they immediately grow 36 inches taller and throw the driver out so that they can drive the immaculate vehicle.
    When other Tacoma owners see it, they swiftly and decisively drive their own trucks off the tallest cliff they can find out of desperation.
    When women see it, they throw themselves naked onto the hood, writhe about madly and shout "Take me now, you savage beast!!"

    Not that it matters, but I just copied and pasted the other quote in "quick reply" because I can't figure out how to quote from the mobile skin. Not jealout of silver, just not super effective with my iPhone.

    My contribution to the thread was the thought that silver is the best-selling color. Still like Super White the best though! :p

    Just in case anyone was wondering what Spruce Mica looks like:
    [​IMG]

    And this is Nautical Blue Metallic. I'm digging it, looks kinda like the old ink blue which should have never gone away. I bet it will look better on a Tacoma.

    In search of the perfect Taco: Standard transmission, Double Cab, 6ft box. Not available in Canada, but rumored to be in the US.

    I gotta say that I'm actually really liking the spruce mica, much to my surprise. Although owning a taco that color is a commitment I'm not sure I could make. The nautical blue however looks really sharp, but a bitch to keep looking clean. Thats why silver would be my number one choice (even if they are the most seen colors)

    I agree...sort of "blah," at least in the pics. I do, however, like the spruce mica (again, at least in the pics!).

    Guess we'll have to check them out in person to really get a feel.
