I agree 100%.

lol but yes, my girlfriend was begging me to get speedway blue cuz it was "pretty" as well

briangp · 04-28-2009, 02:52 PM

Radiant red is in a class of its own baby

BeachBoy, You're gonna tell me that my truck is not badass? :P

I like colors that stand out, can't you tell? I was tossed up between the SWB and the Black and rad red when I was looking, but this truck had everything I wanted for the most part, so I bought.

My least favorites would be Des Mica, Barc red, only because I think those colors belong on Camrys and Corollers, nothing wrong with them though

lifesaflaw123 · 04-28-2009, 02:53 PM

as much as most girls care about cars, then i guess its good to have the truck they find pretty.

420Tacoma · 04-28-2009, 02:54 PM

Speedway blue is definitely not ugly IMO, but it is too bright during the day. What is odd is that the x-runners look awesome in Spdway blue all the time. I don't know what it is... I just think I need get some mods for my truck. I totally agree with LIFESAFLAW about other colors. I see SILVERS everywhere !! That has got to be the most common color. Then Super white. Just my 2 cents

lifesaflaw123 · 04-28-2009, 02:55 PM

i think the SWB gets darker or something when its washed. some pictures i see they almost look sky blue and other pictures, they look dark blue....either way, its shiny and sparkly.

camsbored · 04-28-2009, 03:36 PM

Silver is sooooooo boring IMO.

ImpulseRed008 · 04-28-2009, 03:43 PM

If I had to choose between no truck and the Silver Streak, I would go with NO TRUCK. Silver makes me wanna

I HATE THE SILVER - think it's the ugliest color they make!!!!

I might not really care for all the other colors (Pyrite and timberland), they are not worthy of the dislike I have for the silver.

Sorry to all you Silver Lovers out there....

TheTacoManChach · 04-28-2009, 03:49 PM

Ok how is this ugly?!

Nothing against the color, but I like my trucks taller than I am.

I'm only 5'6" LoL.

Austin Taco · 04-28-2009, 03:52 PM

I wasn't crazy about the blue but after seeing Lifesaflaw pics I had to reconsider.

I think they are all good colors. Some look MUCH better after a few mod's. The white and blue by far look great after a few mods. Firefighter and Lifesaflaw have great looking trucks.
I also like the black one in the picture at the top of the website.

mainland_newfie · 04-28-2009, 03:56 PM

Best thing ever indigo ink wasn't there... why... because not one person could think that its an ugly color

Totally agree...

Tacoma's just make other trucks wish that they could look as good in these colors...

Untamed_SS · 04-28-2009, 04:02 PM

I think sometimes a secondary color makes or breaks the primary color.

I like white with black, but not so much white with chrome. =/

CometKat · 04-28-2009, 05:03 PM

I think desert sand is a great color but my favorite is silver. White is nice but it makes the truck look too much like a work truck. Red and blue look great but they attract too much attention. Better to be low key especially with all the cities tying to extract more revenue from traffic violations. Black looks like crap unless it’s really clean. Pirite mica looks fantastic in real life. Grey is awesome also. Just my .02.

RCBS · 04-28-2009, 05:10 PM

i voted silver, not because i don't like it, but because it's so common. when i set out to get a tacoma, i was after Superwhite...until i pulled into a large dealer that had 20something tacos sitting out back, with a single SWB sitting there glowing like a bug zapper. that particular SWB truck now sits in my driveway

i don't know why everyone hates on the Desert mica...i like it.

Panda Jerk · 04-28-2009, 05:32 PM

speedway blue by far IMO but all the trucks look good regardless of color!!

im not hating either btw!

rossk35 · 04-28-2009, 05:36 PM

desert sand and the old Radiant Red.

SWB is a good color, but to me it looks the best on the x-runners.

and the poll says they really don't like the blue. I'm an outgoing person, and figured my truck reflected that.
