Sitting on the lot because they're probably making more than they can sell. You hardly hear of anyone saying they are looking for Argento.

Would have raised costs. There are lots of little things I've been noticing after the couple of weeks I've had my car where costs have been saved. Would I like them? Yeah. Are they important big things? Not really. And if they were all there, the car would cost 29-32k instead of 25k.

My Whiteout is on order and I just love the way it stands out, along with it doesn't show dirt as bad as the darker colors. I also thought that it being a little more expensive that more people wouldn't go for it, but as you can all see that is certainly not the case. Oh well, it still is my favorite color on this car. I think I would've chosen Hot Lava if it was just a tad brighter shade of orange. My SC430 is Indigo Ink Pearl, and it is pretty dang close to the ultramarine color. I love blue on most cars, but I hated that as soon as I would drive away from getting it washed, it would instantaneously become dirty. Like I've said many times before, this is one of the first cars that I have ever thought that you can't go wrong with any color choice that the company made.

All my daily drivers have been silver, easy to maintain, always looks clean, cool in the summer. Plus I blend in with everyone else on the road.
For sports cars there are only two viable colors in my opinion - red and yellow. And these don't come in yellow. My dealer had one in Raven and that's what I took for the test drive. Once I decided I wanted one I asked them to find me one in Firestorm. They found one at Atlantic Toyota on Long Island (100 miles away) and picked it up for me the next day. One more day of pre-delivery work / detailing and I drove it home. My dealer had never seen one in Firestorm and they all liked it very much. So do I!

I got the model T treatment. I was told I could have it in any colour I wanted as long as it was black.

I chose red, but I'd have taken krypton green or bright yellow. Lava is interesting but not my thing.

For this car available colors wasn't really important, though I was primarily partial to Argento. Asphalt just happened to be the color of the one I bought (and was my second choice) when they were first released and hard to get...I've grown to LOVE it! I will say all the colors look great on the car - not a single one I wouldn't get!
I will say I really, really wanted the FR-S to be available in WRB though....
