I wanted Blue Ribbon Metallic, and that is the only color i was going to buy. I waited almost a month for it to arrive. It was well worth the wait!! I love the color!!

I did finally locate the color I wanted, but not with out many messages from sales people on my answering machine telling me they had another blue or red 2008 TCH arrive. Glad you were also able to locate the color you wanted.

Barcelona Red. I wanted Blue, the wife and kids wanted red, look who won! I like the red now alot more than I did when it was "shoved down my throat", but I occasionally see a blue one and become wistful...

Seems like there should be get together to swap cars!
I wanted Roja de Barcelona but ended up with Metallic Mud. At least we got the interior color we wanted.

Wanted Red, got Desert Sand. BORING! Looks nice, but Red looks great! I was lucky to get the car equipped the way I wanted it in July '06, so the color was really not that important. When I see a red one, I am even more convinced the Desert Sand is boring. GREAT car tho, and the color is not that important. Maybe my next one will be Red!

I'm pretty lazy.
Black, Red, Blue are hard to keep clean and look crappy when dirty.
So I went with Desert Sand for the TCH and Titanium for the XLE. As close to "no maintenance" colors as you can get.

Sky Blue is also easy to maintain. You don't see much dirt on it. I bought mine in September and didn't wash it until last week!
I still couldn't see dirt but KNEW it was there!
