    Not everyone can drive an MT. I have a friend who had an ACL injury, and the clutch is painful.

    But MT's are cooler. Thats whey are called a MANual. A big reason why I'm doing this is to get one last MT before the i4 Hybrid Turbo, 10 speed AT comes out next generation.

    This. I drove manuals in high school and college and multiple trips overseas in the sandbox. Do I want one for Chicagoland traffic, hell no, not to mention all the features you miss out on (proximity keyless entry, crawl, JBL, etc.) in the manual config, so an auto better suits my needs as a DD truck, doesn't mean I'm stupid or that I don't know how to drive one, pretty ignorant statement.

    Relax people. It's ok if you like automatics. But by definition they aren't as good as a manual. ok?

    Only in the Tacoma, in most other cases automatics are superior to manuals ;)

    I like it on the Rav4's I've seen around, looks like similar to the Cement it changes tone in different light conditions, which is one of the things I like about Cement. Looking forward to seeing an LR Tacoma in person.

    I've also noticed that the same video/photo will look wildly different based on the device it's viewed on. On my phone, it looks minty. The same images on my desktop will look completely different. In real life, there really aren't any minty tones.

    So, this is interesting, he jumps from video to photos (of a 4Runner), but you can really see how different sensors see the color so differently from each other.
