    My question is... Why did they keep Pyrite Mica? But got rid of those colors? Sales?

    I'm not big on the 2012 but i REALLY LIKE the spruce mica color on the Tundra. Glad they ported it over to the Taco. Probably in the minority in that regard. I also thought SWB is a ridiculous color. :p No offense to owners - to each their own for sure!

    In search of the perfect Taco: Standard transmission, Double Cab, 6ft box. Not available in Canada, but rumored to be in the US.
    Silver in MHO is the best color out there! Stays clean longer and really sharp looking. I've owned black trucks in the past and they look great when clean, but take a ton of up keep to look nice. Just my two cents
