I have the same dillema the red is looks good on the car and it is a sporty car but gets too much attention I'm not looking for attention and if I am gonna keep the car for a longer time i may regret the red one . Plus driving fast may get you in trouble sooner in a red car ....I mean who is planing to drive this thing slow....

The white is very classy looking but a little plan ... I wish scion has a lite blue like Subaru. The blue they have is too dark IMO ...

I think most people pick white cause its not soo loud asking for attention ...

I'm telling you its confusing ...

Talking about exotic ,how about hot lava for exotic I saw that color at auto show I liked it but maybe its a little too. Much bling bling not sure , not too many ppl seems to get that color and I don't think they have a lot available ... the friend of mine says a sport car should be red or yellow, well its a sporty car not a sport car but defenetly has the look for a sport car...so red should be apropiat

Hot Lava is awesome. Completely sexy on this car. And I normally hate orange cars.

Driving home tonight I noticed that 9 out of 10 cars is white, black, beige, or silver. So very monochromatic. So very bland.

White. Red cars to me scream "lipstick". It's feminine imo (no offense).
White makes mods stand out more, and it has more class and maturity.

Actually, for anyone concerned about speeding tickets and such, they've statistically pretty much proven that it's no longer the case that red cars get more tickets. Due to how cops clock motorists these days, it works out that no one color car gets a higher percentage of tickets than the others.

So if you like bold colors, go as bold as you want!

Thanks for your input all. Tough decision!

I guess the bright colour = attention thing changes from place to place but it's definitely been the case here with my supes, have had hotted up white cars before and not been an issue in daily driving etc. Usually the cops are just bored and want a closer look.

Australian version is a "Toyota 86" in GT or GTS models. It's not a Toyota FT86 (concept car) or Scion FR-S (American LHD / MPH etc).
