    I spent a long time trying to choose between silver and red for my 11. The funny thing is, when I got to the dealership and saw the MGM, I had to have it.

    Me too, but opted for the silver. The new red on the '11s looked a bit washed out to me. Plus, I was trading in my red Frontier and it showed every tiny scratch or nick. Also didn't really look good after a salt bath coming down the highway in the winter months. The silver at least doesn't make salt or dirt on the Taco look as bad as it does with the darker colors.

    I prefer the MGM myself. But I have to admit that a couple of red tacos have caught my eye when passing them on the road.

    It's nice to have other's opinions but, in the end, only you can really decide which color looks better. I like both but chose the barcelona red because other trucks and cars i've had with dark gray metallic paint seem to show the dirt quickly and there is a ton of them around where i live. Beautiful color, but so is the b red. For that matter, i really haven't seen one yet that i didn't like.

    In about 2 weeks i'll be posting more pics of my barcelona red taco with new wheels and leveling kit.
