2008 model colors

I see the Toyota website offers only 3 colors for 2008, Titanium, Desert sand and Brick. Have the yellow, blue and cherrie colors been discontinued?

I live in the north east and I can't see any of the new colors come up on Toyota's website except for brick red. I talked to the dealership recently and they said they won't be getting any 08 until late October maybe November.
So it must definitely be a regional thing

I just spotted a new '08 in sandstorm on a dealer lot (Tom Scott Motors) last week. Oh man, was it beautiful! I'll tell you what, that is THE color IMHO. Wife's ready to trade in her LX.

If you do "build your own" all of the colors show. But when you search inventory, it is based on your zip, and what is available regionally.

Dear god, I need to see an Iceberg in person. I almost wish I could justify buying a new truck to offroad

I saw a Forest Green FJC on I-95 in Richmond a few days ago. Is that a new color, or is it possible that the owner had it painted?

I didn't have time to follow him/chase him down to ask him...but spent a good 10 miles following it on the highway on the way home from work, and the paint is flawless...so I was curious as to whether or not that's a new factory color for '08.

I was in Texas on business last week and damn near wrecked my rental (Checy Trailblazer, yuck!) craning my neck as I passed a desert sand color FJ in traffic. Looked great!
