    I really like the blue. If I could swing it I'd buy one; a Tacoma Sport and the Vette would make nice bookends. I just can't rationalize selling my perfectly good Silver 2007. It still too nice a truck!

    I had the TRD bed decals/stickers removed by the dealer prior to delivery. The salesman told me it may hurt resale value down the road. Among other reasons, I believe the truck looks better without them.

    I like both the nautical blue and spruce mica, and of course I like a black truck, that's why I bought mine! I would buy them in this order:
    1. Nautical blue
    2. Black
    3. spuce mica

    True! I really dont care what other think of my truck as long as it looks like I want it to. I prefer silver or red most of the time though! Favorite color is the greeen Tacomas, they just look super sweet and you dont see many around my way at least. JOE>

    I like the green color a lot but I bought a red one. I am pretty happy with it as well. I looked at the magnetic grey but someone else at work has one that color already.....

    I'll be going in next week to put a deposit on a 2012, and I'm still tossed up a little. I'm leaning towards the Pyrite Mica, but not sure if it's going to be available in the V6 4x4 TRD Sport. I know it wasn't last year but the toyota site shows it for 2012. The other color I'm thinking of going with is the Magnetic Gray Metallic

    Both colors look outstanding. They started production of the 2012's with a high number of MGM trucks. So there are LOTS of them out there now. Pyrite is much harder to find, but worth it IMO. It's what I bought... I had to wait about 8 weeks to find my perfect truck, so they are out there, they're just harder to find.

    Also Pyrite Mica was available last year - not sure where you heard that but it's been a color option since '09.
