looks nothing like the BCP in the shade or sun.........two totally differant colors......look in my profile as I have a couple of photos of it.
Go with SCM. There are a lot of BSPs, FMs, SWs, and CSMs/SSMs. Go against the norm.
I have yet to see a nicely-modded SCM tC. I have seen some BCPs (former color) that were noiice!!

And...in spite of what you might think, it's easy to keep clean.
Pearl white is my fave.

i'm also debating whether to get SW or BSP. I have always been into black cars, but SW looks really clean with the panda look

Maybe i should try something different, like Inverse Panda... paint the bsp's hood white

EVERYONE HAS A WHITE CAR!!! Especially in Scions...
Get the SCM....If you mod it, you'll stand out more...I have a BCP and I REALLY like the new Sizzlin' Crimson...
White is bland until you mod it...BCP/SCM looks almost like a custom paint when....not purple/burgundy...
Just my 2 cents...No offense SW or RS3 owners...the Panda Look is sexy....

BSP HAS to be clean though.
It looks like crap if it's dirty.
Clean and polished, it's sweet.
-I'm trying to get less FMs on the road - Scion flooded the dang market with them ;)

scm is a brick color.
it is IMO one one of the more effeminate colors.
If you are concerned with getting a manly color, get BSP or FM.
SW is good also because you can make it Panda.
there has been a age old debate between tc owners whether or not the SW was considered a girly color.
Personally If I were to get SW, Id get it to mod it into a panda tc, which looks hot.
Im biased towards bsp, though... Id actually prefer a gloss black tc, as opposed to BSP because I dont like the pearl look. I like deep jet black. BSP is also a pain to keep clean. I have to detail it every other day, and since I have black matte wheels, I also have to clean those often. and I have to wax it at least once every 2-3 weeks to keep me happy with it.
when it gets dirty, or after rain, I cant stand looking at all the dust, water spots and streaks. The dirt shows up on bsp more than any other scion car color. It looks FM when its dirty lol.

Are you kidding? This should be a no-brainer. Get Flint Mica. It looks spectacular on either wet or dry days after a nice hand wash. All the other colors are alright to so-so. The reason why there aren't any SCM tC's out there is because...well...it isn't entirely popular IMO. If you're perogative (sp?) is to not go with the crown, then i'd suggest SCM...but if you want a car that truly looks good, i'd go with FM or BSP.
Of course, if you tint your tC like I did with limo tint, it will make any color tC look 500% better (percentage based on no particular statistic other than my tendency to over-exaggerate)
GO FLINT MICA! You wont' regret it!

Well out of SCM or BSP id go for BSP definitely but if i didnt have a tC and i can get one now, id go for one of the special edition ones like the RS4 that iKONA mentioned since it already comes a little upgraded and plus the new galactic gray mica paint looks tight as hell.
