    I wish they would alter the colors from year to year. Boring!

    A few non-metallic colors would be nice too. I appreciate "Super White" is available in certain countries, but that's it? Give it a try Toyota...

    I think they're bringing out a new colour range soon, it's called Brexit Blues, costs £2000 extra and is compulsory. :eek:

    I think we explained some of the charge for White & Red. I think you would need the get the rest from Toyota UK or a dealer. The Toyota US marketing team is here, nit not the others, AFAIK.

    The question is whether, preference aside, it's a good investment to pay the extra.

    But I think the answer is 'no' it's not.

    If Super White was an option here I would have chosen that. I ended up paying the extra for Blizzard Pearl since white is the most visible vehicle color from a distance.

    Not a current report, but 'what car' magazine used to identify metallic and pearlescent paint finish on cars enhanced the resale value but by no more than about £500. I cannot see that having changed very much even now the paint costs more when new. The depreciation on paint cost is very high.
