How the heck do they get a name like "Shadow Mica" from a Hunter green?!
"Shadow" from any other company would be a dark gray color. Almost charcoal.
Too bad. I really wanted a dark gray '06. Time to start looking at other color options.

I just checked the Scion site, and the Shadow Mica color doesn't even have the slightest hint of green. Then again, it is only a graphic represention of what the color will be.
I guess this just warrants another trip to the dealership.

ehh, you can never go by the website, I actually had a customer that bought a car over the phone from me...it was a BCP xB that he had saw on the website. He had never seen it in person but loved it online...when he came to the dealer to finally pick it up he refused delivery cause he hated it in person
He ended up driving away a TCM xB that day instead...Moral of the story: Better see these colors in person before making a decision.
I know that much. But the other colors (existing) that they have shown are pretty close. I assumed they would have put a green tint in the gray at least if it was a "Hunter Green."
Good thing I am on the West Coast. I'll probably get to see a Shadow Mica in person before you.

Man, I want to see the shadow mica then, because I'm thinking it's gray, but people are saying its got green in it? first off shadow would be more along the line of gray and not green, i'm still not buying it.
Everybody can check out www.toyota.com and look at a Matrix or 4Runner (or just hit your local dealership and look at the paint chips for those two cars.
