At first I didn't think I could order that orange color, but I just checked and I can.....but that is a little too much orange for me!! LOL!

I also just checked and saw that on the F sport model I can only choose between black or red interior. Soooo.... I guess my top picks would be the MRM w/black, the Atomic Silver w/red, or maybe the Ultra White w/red???

 

I prefer the looks of the FSport model, so my choices where also a bit limited. I really like the MRM, and it would look awesome with a cream interior, but neither are available on an FSport. I also prefer metallic/pearl paint, so even though I like white cars, so Ultra White was not a consideration. For me it came down to Atomic Silver or Nebula Grey. I chose Nebula Grey because it was closer to the Smokey Granite Mica that I LOVED on my 2011 IS. I believe I might go with Atomic Silver if I had it to do over again. I really like the Roja Red interior, though.

 

I guess I didn't realize the Ultra White was not pearlized. I had an '08 RX400h in the pearlized white, loved that color! Yeah, if it is not pearlized...than white is probably out. A fiend at work has the Nebula Grey, and I'm really not a fan (sorry).

Right now I'm looking at the F sport model, so it will probably be the MRM w/ black (ugh), or the Atomic Silver w/red. I still need to go look at them in person. The one thing nice about the MRM is there aren't as many around.

 

I think the Nebula Gray Pearl looks fantastic! I just bought a used 2016 F Sport in Obsidian (Black), but if I had bought new I would probably have chosen the Nebula Gray.

You also mentioned that everyone has Atomic Silver. What about the Shining Silver Metallic?

 

Yeah, not a fan of black, I mean it looks great when it new & clean, but then it just looks...eh... A friend has the Nebula Grey, don't really like that color either.

I have not seen the Shining Silver Metallic...seems like everyone has the Atomic Silver, that's kind of why I'm leaning towards the red.... ah, decisions, decisions!

 

The Ultra White is metallic paint. I'm not sure whether it is a two stage metallic or a 3 stage pearl, but it definitely has white flakes in it.

 

Ok, I'm going to have to check it out in person. If it is metallic...the white with red interior would look good. I really didn't want another white car, but I think white is such a sharp color!

 

Red Fsport is rare and looks nice. I haven't seen many of those. I have an ultra white and while it looks great, the maintenance for white as you probably know, isn't fun.

 

Still undecided on the color. I love white...had a white Avalon, and an RX400h, and then the RAV4. I actually think darker colors are more high maintenance. Somebody on here said the red was hard to keep clean so that kind of worries me. I'm going to go see them in person before placing my order.

 

My Base is MRM with a black interior. I love that combination, plus I see very few in my area, which is a plus for me....

 

My experience has been that any of the darker colors are more work to keep clean. That includes the interior. We dislike the black interior on our Atomic Silver ES. We have found the Parchment and Creme interior colors to be easier to take care of. The Matador Red Mica is beautiful when clean. I was the one that griped about keeping the MRM clean, but I really I don't think it would be any harder than any other dark color though.

 

I love white. The FSport ultra white is not boring white as the regular white. Clean and under sunlight it looks awesome....

 

I have all black interior in my RAV4 and really don't like it, so I know what you mean. Problem is if I get the F Sport in red then I have to get all black inside..

GoHuskers, I love white too. Like I said this would make my 4th white car...but I'm going to have to check it out in person. The whites are different on the 200t and the F Sport.

I do want to thank ALL you guys for your input into my questions, you all have really helped me with decisions.....or now I'm just more confused than ever! LOL!

 

I didn't realize until you said this that you couldn't get the Rioja Red interior on the F-Sport with the Matador Red Mica or Molten Pearl (orange). All the other F-Sport exterior colors can have Black or Rioja Red. I think the Red looks awesome. I may be wrong, but once you see the F Sport in Ultra White (with the black grille, wheel arches and door mirrors), I think you'll be in love! =)

 

I do agree the Ultra White with all the accents looks really good!
