    Even though I have a white one. I always liked the speedway blue, that is the color I originally wanted, till I saw my truck & the price. I believe my 03 taco was blacksand pearl, that is what I voted for.

    I have black sand pearl, and that is what i voted.... but really i think it is a toss up between that and speedway blue.... that is one sharp color

    If white is a spectrum of colors and all the other Tacoma colors are the best, then SUPER WHITE is the clear winner for the BEST color. :D

    I'm going to have to go with Impulse Red Pearl, although Black would be my second choice.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    i went flat black....good shite....after having the BSP, i'll never have one again. if it was the plain black like on the tundra's, then i would....that metal flake BS doesnt look right on black....black should be black and nothing else....plus it also makes black accessories look weird b/c they dont have the flake in them as well
