Can't Decide!!!! - Help!!

[the magnetguy]

Would appreciate your guys opinion as of color choices for the FJ - I have tentatively placed my order for a loaded ''SILVER'' C package and was told I could change my mind if another unit comes available before my delivery date (which is supposed to be in 2-4 weeks). I really like the silver but also like the Fusion Yellow!! - if I could afford it I would buy 1 of each color!! - but seeing as how that is not possible - what should I do??? After driving both a Yellow & a Silver unit I found that looking at that big rectangular piece of plastic around the radio and other controls-- that a person could get get tired of whatever color is staring at them constantly for the rest of the life of the car.This is why I liked the silver on the dash (much more subdued or classy looking) whereas the Yellow is right ''in your face!!!'' - but love the exterior of the FJ in yellow!! -
Any thoughts??????? - thanx alot! - a Confused Canuck!! - Tim

It'e personal preference, I would think. I like the silver best myself, and I don't care for the yellow. I wish they had gone with mustard like the old 40's. The yellow is too similar to the yellow Exterra, which around here are a dime a dozen. If I had my druthers, I'd have had them use all the old FJ40 colors since the new one is supposed to be a throwback.

My 2 cents.

Silver ages better, choose it if you plan to keep your FJ for a long time, which I am sure you will. Silver is a color you NEVER get tired of IMHO.

after looking at some pictures of the interior i think you could replace the yellow plastic part with a silver plastic part if you looked around. especially in a few years when a few FJs hit the Junk yards from stupid driving.

Yep ... if you are going to pinstripe your Cruiser, Silver
will age by far better than any other color that is available
right now.

Looking at the web pics, I too preferred silver but looking
at a black cherry one up close ... that's a damn nice color
and goes particularly well with the white top. ANd, once
you start striping the black cherry the stripes will match
the color of the top

Another vote for silver. Looks great and is easy to keep clean.
