    Hmm, on the "build your tacoma" section of the site if you picked TRD Sport it took away the Pyrite option, and I think the brochure said it also if I remember correctly. But the dealer told me today that it is definately available for 2012! Just might take a while to come in. Funny thing is he was trying to get me to go with the MGM since that was my second choice, but the fact that it was rare made me want it even more! Plus they had a RAV 4 or something on the floor in the Pyrite Mica and looked so sweet

    The 'Build your own' toyota website is a little wacky - it only lets you build something that is actually, currently available in your region. Lots of people thought random options werent available like 4x4 access cabs, SR5 Double cabs, etc because the build site wouldnt let them make one.

    Check out a bunch of really cool Pyrite Tacomas here: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/16037-any-2009-pyrite-micas-out-there.html

    Silver Streak Mica.

    Highly visible day or night, doesn't show dirt so obviously, and blends well with black, aluminum, or chrome accessories. Aluminum bed boxes (toolboxes), for example, blend well with the silver, but often stand out far too much against darker colors.

    Spruce Mica!

    The Nautical Blue on the first page looks pretty damn good too though. Anyone have a pic of a Nautical Blue Taco next to an Indigo Ink one? They're pretty much the same color...

    Ordered my '12 N. Blue today. ETD 2/14

    N. Blue is amazing, and that's coming from a man who's only ever driven black: ever.
