    I would wait until 2018. There are still some major unresolved issues with this generation. I would expect most things to be cleared up by 2018 - mid2018.

    I went with magnetic gray metallic as a first choice and I'm happy.

    I would rank inferno #2, and quicksand # 3 (My preference)

    The following colors look best with the corresponding trims in my opinion.

    Super White - All trims
    Silver sky Metallic- all trims
    Magnetic Gray Metallic - all trims
    Black - all trims
    Barcelona Red - all trims
    Inferno - TRD OR and TRD Sport
    Blazing Blue Pearl - TRD Sport
    Quicksand - TRD OR
    Cement - TRD PRO

    Uhm, are you sure?
    My salesman said the blue had 3 extra hp because the paint doesn't have the speckles in it that increases drag.
    That's why I bought the blue.

    That theory only works if you remove the vinyl off the pillars. Otherwise you will still experience drag and a drop in hp, not to mention major butt hurt at the gas pump.
