For the young and young at heart...

That is a stunning colour.

Toyota has been hitting it out of the park with some of their special edition colours.  First the Voodoo Blue on the TRD Pro's, and now this green.

I should add, I'm not a fan of the 'Army Green' that is this year's special TRD Pro colour.  But this 'Hakone' Green is brilliant.

Love this colour.  But many new Tacomas I see, are these pretty weird colours that I am not a fan of.  like cement, sand, and like a baby blue.

Haha! those are the colors i like but  im colorblind so.....

also certain colours dont look great on certain vehicles.  So a new brown Legacy, and the brown on the F-150 isn't very flattering.

That really is a unique colour, I love it!

Love the colour and the gold rims set it off nicely.

Great color combo!

Looks great!  Can't wait to see one in the flesh.

Toyota has that amazing blue they’ve used on some Lexus models and the Voodoo Blue is fantastic and omgggg that green is freakin spectacular.

It’s cool when you see the engineering that goes into some of these colours.

Yea, the story on how they did the Lexus blue is bonkers

Agree about some colours working best on certain cars. I love that sky blue (?) on the new 'rolla hatch and not sure if it could work on a Highlander for example. Or the FJ cruiser used to come in desert sand (?) and that same or similar colour would ruin just about any other car.

In the 86 case, it's also the colour combo that makes it look so hot. Here's the interior:
P.S. I've owned two cars in green and un-practicality of this coup makes me very sad indeed...

Yeah, this looks really nice. I’ve been trying to convince myself that I could live with a BRZ/86 as a daily driver. Not sure this would be worth paying extra for over the BRZ Sport-tech, but it might be tempting.

If I had a different job, I could easily do the BRZ, or MX-5 RF as my daily driver.  But with my job, I need something to tow a utility trailer.

I'd have a tough time picking between those two given the relative sexiness of this package.

Quit your bitchin, at least you have a Miata!

I've driven in Hakone when I lived in Japan (as well as a bunch of other mountain roads).  If there is a car that was purposefully built for those kind of roads, it's the BRS/86(FRS) twins.

It's called structural blue.

I love that I think it is affordable.
