    As much as I love my MGM and it doesn't bother me much I will warn you that it does show scratches worse than any other color I have seen. And if you plan on taking it on any trails around here I promise you will end up with at least a few minor scratches.

    And black or white isn't bland? Lol

    Toyota is kind of slacking in the color department, seems like they eliminate all the good ones. Pyrite Mica, Timberland Mica, etc. I like MGM. I'd love it if they brought back Cool Steel Metallic as a color or something similar to slate blue. Ever other maker offers it.

    I really like the quicksand from the pictures I've seen but I feel it is only good in the southern countries lol. I feel it would look out of place up here in the great white north. Until I see it in person I can't judge.

    To me it's not great and it's not bad. I personally like metal flake in my colors, not a huge fan of flat in most cases. I'm sad Quicksand replaced Pyrite Mica.

    I do agree with the idea that white is a company color...every damn cargo van out there that every contractor drives is white lol. Unless the company puts their own colors or logos on, they still all usually start out white and then get painted/wrapped.

    The only major company here in toronto I can think of that isn't white is Guild Electric which are all yellow or toronto hydro which are all green vehicles. otherwise every major company is white. If you go on a job site you'll see more white trucks than anything else.

    My family has 3 vehicles. All of them black. Nothing rewards a good wash job than black. I would suggest a auto dust mop. 2 minutes with that and it's back to "just washed" if it didn't rain.

    Well, if i had to pick between those 2 colors, easily magnetic grey. As others have said black is really a pain to keep clean. My ideal color would be white, looks great on every truck. Like to keep it nice and simple.
