Taking it one step further, I would have loved to have an option of a tan leather interior. Maybe next year.
I would have rocked a BRG with tan or even an Ultramarine with tan almost any day of the week. I saw an older RX-7, Blue with a slight green tint with tan and had to immediately change my pants.

I went with a Whiteout. I love the pearl and how it affects the lines of the car.

I wanted Whiteout, ordered Whiteout, and got it in less than 3 weeks. White on sports cars just does it for me, the contrast with the creases and panel joints, windows, and wheels is just pure sexy time. Plus it hides dirt pretty well!

Really wanted white, bought a white automatic that was inbound over the phone. Had a dealer call me with a Hot Lava manual inbound so I bought that one too (over the phone, an hour after the white one). The folks I bought the white one from were typically decent and refunded my non-refundable deposit. Am SOOO glad I bought the Hot Lava. Have really grown to love the color. Only problem is you can't pick your nose in traffic cuz everybody's looking at you ALL THE TIME.

hot lava. as a kid i always wanted a yellow, lambo green, or burnt orange becuase sporty cars look good in those colors to me and when this car came out there was one of those colors that fit the bill so i picked that one.

1)Whiteout 2)Lava 3) Argento was the order of my choices

Went to a couple dealers looking none of them had white. One of the dealers had an Asphalt one so I went to look at it, it had optional paint protection, clear bra, and Bespoke radio, I didn't want those items. That dealer told me that I was being too picky and that I wasn't going to get what I wanted because no one else had one, they were hard to find, and I would just have to settle for the one they had. Well, I walked out, went to the next dealer put down a deposit on a Whiteout(in September) My car(in Whiteout!) is slated to be here at the end of November. I'm soooo excited! just worried about the CEL/SL issue.

Launch colors are almost always the best/boldest colors, so WRB was a no brainer especially given how much I love a good blue.

Whiteout was my first choice and that's what I got, but would have been happy with any of the other colors. I've owned over 35 cars and a large number of them have been white. They say people with OCD love white because it just doesn't show marring or dust as much as darker colors. Add in the metallic and it's a sure winner.

I wanted asphalt and that what I got.. They had two at the lot asphalt and the blue.. And in my opinion, that blue is the ugliest color I've seen on a new car.. But again that's my opinion I don't mean to offend anyone... Now that said.. If scion made the WRB of a subbie.. No questions asked that's what would be outside now
