    The new blue looks a lot like Indigo Blue on pre 09 models. How does it compare to that blue?

    Finaly! Someone owns this color. This wil be my color too. What do you think about it? I try to compare it to other cars on the road as I drive by but it's not that popular of a color where I live. I have seen a 4Runner, Rav4 and Tundra this color and thought they looked better than they do in pictures. Does it scrach easy or get dirty fast?

    Unfortunately, there haven't been that many Indigo Tacos around. I want to get mine next to one, so I've been on the lookout. ;-)

    I like it quite a lot. In natural light, it looks really deep. I agree - pictures don't quite do the color justice and I liked it a lot more once I saw it in person.

    I've only got 200 miles on it now - My impression is that it will reward a good washing. My last taco was the dark grey, and dirty or clean it looked about the same. We'll see how this winter goes.

    I test drove an 2008 Indigo Ink Dbl cab long bed sport a while back that I saw on the internet. It had gotten into some trees or something and was scratched to hell on one side. The downside to dark colors is they do show scratches. Just be careful.

    Between brochure misprints and website glitches, I think Toyota was intimidated by all the feedback from TW so they rushed things out before they were completely ready.

    Toyota.....We own you!!

    .........now please give us dual vvti.......pretty please......

    .......and a 6-speed auto......

    I believe I'll be one of the first (if not the first) to have the DC short bed with Entune and Sport upgrade on here. I think most people have the long bed or the AC.

    Either way.......I'm syked.......will post pics.

    I'm not sure how comfortable I feel with the phrase "big meats".....lol.

    But I agree, a lift with some bigger "tires" would be pretty sweet!!

    I like the 2012 improvments for what they are, BUT...the same old powertrains really annoy me! If dual VVT-i V6 or maybe new higher out put 4 banger was offered I would be trading my 09 in right now!
