Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

[coogles]

Ick. The 2015 whorange offered was WAY better.



how I feel about the orange on the '86. Don't love it, don't hate it, but would buy if given the opportunity just because it'd be rare. I really don't like the wheels, although that's an easy enough fix.

Yeah I love red cars and red/orange hybrid colors, but somehow it doesn't work for me on the 4R. This semi-friend/acquaintance dude in my neighborhood has a TuRD BRO that is actually bright ass orange, not sure the year.

I do like that GR86 Would love to get, but I won't....

So the trd pro color for 2023 is going to whorange … paging Mr Detroit

Way too red. Still vastly prefer my Army Green truck. I won't be trading in anything anytime soon.

Hmm … is that the official picture ? It does look way red. But I think in other lighting and angles it looks a bit diff.

Personally I’d take any green over any orange but that’s just me.

I believe this is a photo of the actual truck/color, and I've looked up this color on Tundras and it certainly does seem to be more red. Meh.

Orange is polarizing. I love it, but I think on the 4R, green looks better. I didn't really care for the 2022 Lime green, but the Army Green is just

[ChrisoftheNorth]

I'd buy that GR86 if I could. But they'll be super rare and I'm not willing to put the work in or pay the cost (markup) to get one.

2015 TuRD Bros featured Inferno Orange. It's a much truer orange than this new one, and looks

They look same to me . But I’m not that in tune.

Why is everybody always fucking with colors? Like Inferno Orange on a C6...........if it's cool you can't just keep it?

I think color preferences constantly change which is why dupoint or whatever that color company is, issues color forecasts and most popular colors annually.

Also corvette orange had a super low take rate.

Don’t make me do a brown manual wagon for $120k rant.

If it's anything like the green from last year it's going to have a crazy pearl effect in the sun

Solar Flare seems to be the same orange that’s on the Lexus RCF.



Solar Octane is the very red-orange that’s on the new TuRD Bro Tundy.

Solar Flare ain’t no Mazda Racing Orange, doe.

The LC500 is where it's at. Those get the newer 10 speed and not the 2008 era 8 speed like the RC/GS-F

They're legit nice and fun vehicles. Still miss mine from time to time. Glad to see them so popular everywhere.

Cammie went in for the sunroof/trunk alignment. Paying for an oil change, i think it's $120 but I didn't ask so we shall see. 10k (kms) on that mofo already. I wouldn't trade up for anything in it's class, or anything nicer unless the additional cost was absorbed by someone else, it's the perfect car for a family of four in an environment that supports normal sized sidewalls.

They shuttled me back to my house and will pick me up when the car is ready. I haven't had that service since before 2020.

Btw my buddy has been trying to get a hybrid Camry… and the dealers here “don’t take reservations” because the line of people trying to get one is too long. Markup of 5-10k or
