BAYOU BLUE METALLIC alllllllllll the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I love the white '09 LB, it was my first choice.

Black, which was my original choice. The Meteorite I ended up with was actually my 3rd choice behind Blazing blue. Bayou blue was my 4th choice.
Apparently there isn't much choice when it comes to 3 door 5MT S's. :redface:

wouldn't change at all still love the Orange Mica Metallic,
it's like the Black yaris over here very rare , probably something to do with the fact
they are listed as speacial order only colours :eek:
Used to be crazy about blazing blue, and for awhile polar white started to really grow up on me.
But if I had to do it all over again, I'd prolly go MM again.

I wanted the Bayou Blue but my Polar White was all that was available at the dealership. It doesn't matter anymore...I like it just the same.

I love it :)

I searched and waited for the Bayou Blue and I still love it. I like that new Carmine Red too for 2009. It wasn't available for 2008. It would be more difficult to pick now.

The same silver lining... love this color... When I was buying it, the dealer said its going to take more than a couple of months to get it and instead we can give you a shadow (bayou blue). I waited and love it.... METEORITE METTALLIC FTW!!!

Blazing Blue.
Black was my original choice, but they make the LB look alot smaller than it really it is IMO. So a brighter color is the way to go...
Still love my current MM. Just hope she doesn't get pissed off at me for posting this LOL

I'm happy with any subdued color. The blue is fine for me.
I will not purchase a red, yellow or orange car. Too flashy for me.

White.
(but it is, unfortunately, not available in Netherlands on the TS version)

I adore my Pacific Blue Metallic and do not regret chosing it but with Yaris paint being so very fragile and my situation (commuter, young family, no garage) a lighter colour that wouldn't show the resultant scratch from even the slightest touch would be less frustrating. White would be the most practical, no dought.

white, I think it is the best color on the LB. But it was not available for cars with a manual transmission here... But I am in no way dissatisfied with red :biggrin:

probably MM...got black, pretty hard to maintain and scratches are easily seen. :frown:

MM (which is what I have), but white as a close second.

if i had to do it all over again i wouldnt change the color (black) but i would get an S model! that would make my life soo much easier...all i would want to do is lower, tint, and get rims!

White with black rims=gg.

There are some cool colors available for the Yaris, but I would do Polar White again.

Same, maybe. I might opt for a sedan this time around, though.

^ haha. I'd go with the Carmine Red. Such a great looking color and almost copper in different light.
this is a tough one . We're still debating the colors :iono: . More strain on the brain :bonk: . THANKS , Madison_nj85 :smile: .

I would have gotten the originalcar they ordered for me flint mica, but I gave it up cause they wanted to lower my trade that they had agreed upon when I ordered it and I ended up paying much more for the Yaris I went and bought hours after they had sold the one I waited months for,=(. But Im happy with the car.

Blazing Blue would be my choice. I like the Bayou Blue I have now but I'd like the dark blue more. Especially if it came with a stick shift.:smile:

I'll stick with the Pacific Blue
I'll stick with the Pacific Blue may be best color for sedan .

Great question!
I still love my Black Sand Pearl and the way it glitters in the sun; but keeping it clean and shiny is a pain--especially down here in southcentral Texas!
The only other color I would consider would be Blazing Blue, only because that is the color of Gus' car in Psych; but my last car was blue and I needed a change. Plus, the black is very "covert night ops" looking, stealthy and all that!
Cheers! M2

Hmm ... originally I wanted Blazing Blue, but then saw one on the road and didn't like it so I stuck with the Bayou. Other choices taht would have been nice were Absolutely Red and Polar White.
Now if the US was cool in terms of color options like everywhere else is, then I would have gone with the Copper Orange or the JDM Green. I mean we get no cool colors (though now we have Yellow Jolt). Japan even has a light pink one for the ladies lol.

I did do it all over. Totaled a 2008 Polar White LB base model. Just picked up a 2009 Black LB base model yesterday. It's good to be back in a Yaris.

I'd stick with my meteor metallic. It stands out just enough from plain-jane silver for me to love it. Plus it hides dirt remarkably well which is good for me (see:lazy).

I would have chosen JDM green color if it is available here, other than that I am satisfied with my Copper Orange Mica.

Isn't there a baby blue colored Yaris sold overseas? That would be the only color I'd like more than what I have.
Burningbjorn
01-01-2009, 11:25 PM
Still go with my original color! Ash Grey is the best!
we saw two 2 door Liftbacks in CARMINE RED yesterday on TOYO dealers lot with power package and automatic tranny , the other was 5 speed manual . Gotta say that color does justice for the 2 door L.B. , very sporty looking :thumbsup: . Like the interior better for the '09s as well . Fabric for seats and the shifting lever for the manual is better . Not the rubber , which attracts and traps dust like a magnet . Really got the itch to trade in the '08 BLAZING BLUE 5 speed manual in for the 2 door '09 CARMINE RED automatic :drool: .

I have the Carmine Red '09 2-door LB, it is a great color!! I would maybe go for one of the blue shades like I wanted originally, but the Carmine Red is just so fantastic.

There is here, or very close to it.
When I went to the dealers they had 4 colors, white, dark grey (color i got), baby blue, and black.
They also had red, and some weird shade of silver..but it wouldve been a 3month wait.

i still roll in red cus they're faster.
This is true. :thumbsup:
I went with smexy Absolutely Red, and I'd do it all over again. Though white reminds me of Eve from Wall-E. <3
Red because those nasty hummers can't get out of their own way, so I wanted to be sure my car was SEEN so there's less of a chance of them plowing me off the road, and me having to kick their @$$.
I'm surprised they haven't made a yellow Yaris... I think it'd suit the car.
Any color at all? Pink...or Magenta... <3

I wish we had our pick. I remember when I bought mine. I was like "I want black with power windows and this and that and this and..." and then they said "Its silver w/ power nothing or a 6 month wait." I almost passed on my darling Yaris! :eyebulge:

FYI... all of the '09 colors in the US can be seen here (http://www.toyota.com/yaris/exterior-360.html). Looks like the sedan has a baby-bluish option, and the 3-door has a yellow option.

Well then, it looks like they thought so too. Now maybe my friend will decide to get one once she graduates from college. She loves the car, but is set on having a yellow car.

When I purchased my car last summer, I only had the choice of white, red and blue for the 3dr, manual yaris. I went with red, though would have loved the black or caramel red.

01-25-2009, 11:39 AM
Mine is silver streak mica. I wanted the flint mica, but it wasn't available anywhere near me. I would love to have that apple green that I've seen here on the forum, but I understand it's not available in the US. :frown:
My last car was silver also, and one thing I do like is the fact that it doesn't show dirt. Also, if I ever decide to add any other colors (pinstriping, etc., though I haven't seen a pinstriped Yaris yet that I like) the silver is a good neutral base.
bayou blue is what i wanted. The first lb my dealer got was rad though, so i took it.

I wish Absolutely Red had been available for the sedan. Had to settle for Barcelona Red, which is OK, but not red enough. I think the bright yellow is the killer color for the liftback.

Not sure... I have Polar White, and I have a love-hate relationship with the color. Love it when it's clean, hate it when it's dirty (which seems to happen pretty easily).

White with no metallic, mica, or clearcoat, is by far the most durable color there is. It lasts forever. (The old lacquers did *eventually* oxidize. But starting with acrylic enamel and continuing with acrylic urethane, plain old gloss white truly is the color for the ages.)
It's also really easy to keep. Gloss white can be as filthy as can be... and no one would ever notice until the mud layer is thick enough to become opaque.
The paint on this car is original, 22 years old, has been through 350,000 miles, has never seen the inside of a garage or the underside of a carport, and had just traveled 700 miles without a wash before this picture was taken:

It's hard to see in the photo, but yes, it's still quite glossy.

Really wish I had landed a Meteorite Grey, that's my dream color for this car. Red was second in command (gotta love UGA :biggrin:) but white was off limits because the girlfriend has it, and I don't like either of the blues so black it is.

i love my Meteorite, but i had such a hard time deciding between that and Polar White, both were the only 2 HBs at the dealer. Funny was i was deciding between those 2 colors prior to walking into the dealership. I still think white looks friggin awesome, and i would enjoy the Panda theme (my favorite animal) but meteorite can look so badass when done up. White looks good already in stock form though.

Got mine used, so I didn't realy have a choice (other than to buy or not buy).
Honestly, there are probably 3 or 4 other factory colors I would have picked before red. I like the silver, black, and blue better, but I got a sweet deal so red it is.
One color I would never buy is white. It's a personal preference thing, but I HATE white cars.
