I hated the blue that Scion offered, so that's why I ended up painting mine a brighter more metallic blue that's on the Caddy's

Umm, they already do.

Yea, but they only went with SAFE colors, except for the LAVA AND BCP none of the other colors I've seen or heard about made it over here!

In japan they have BCP, HL, BOP, BSP, TCM, and PW for sure... I think Camo is the only NA only color, and Yellow is the only regular color we dont get... there is the "magic" color. I think that the old mariner blue (solid medium blue) from the old miatas, Red from the Limited xA, and the japanese yellow would be good additions. they should drop the colors that get the fewest preorders. or maybe a Special edition that has a performance package (shocks, springs, strut brace, sway bars, intake, exhaust, 17" rims, and all wheel disc) and make those three colors I mentioned above the only available colors... I'm sure they could attach an additional 3000 to the price and still sell them well

Yah, they need to expand their color base.

Several people have expressed that they would buy one right now if they offered a different varity of colors..

Why not buy one and have it painted? I really nice paint job is $2G's or less. I don't recall how much the Hot lava cost, but I'm sure that if you truely want a xB in a certain color, you'll get it painted.

Just a guess, but to do the paint RIGHT, it would cost a bit more than $2G.. I mean, to get EVERYTHING painted like it should be, they would practically have to take the body off..

this cars body cannot be taken off. it's not an old body on frame vehicle like a truck or a car from the 60's or 70's
