    Just got myself the mag grey in base model PreRunner. I didn't need the bells and whistles with the TRD or sr5. The cool thing about the mag grey base is that the black bumpers and flares actually look good with this color. Never cared for it on the other colors.

    Barcelona Red looks bad on the sport models. I have the mg in an off road but if I got the sport I was going to get the red.

    Bad as in KICK ASS? I agree.


    Though I would have gotten the Indigo Ink as my first choice. I ended up with Barc Red because it was there and looked damn good!

    EXACTLY why I got the Magnetic Gray Metallic on my base model reg. cab. The black bumpers, grille, mirrors, door/tailgate handles, and the black plastic strips on the roof go really well with it. It doesn't doesn't look so... well... BASE. The other loaded models look great in MGM too though. I just really like the color. My wife does too... she drives a Magnetic Gray Metallic '07 Camry.

    That said... who cares what everyone else likes. Get the one YOU like best!
