exactly right! Makes you wonder who the heck they researched to come up with that bass ackwards info.? It was completely the opposite

That's a good thing tho. I'd hate to think that there would be more xAs than xB brought over.

Color codes for the 2008 xB:
040 (Super White)
1F7 (Classic Silver)
209 (Black Sand Pearl)
3N0 (Blackberry Crush Metallic)
8S6 (Nautical Blue)
8U3 (Hypnotic Teal Mica)

From what I have been told both the Blackberry and the Hypnotic Teal are brand new colors that just came out of development. The Blackberry was a subued dark red and the Teal was a color very similar to jade (the precious stone).

This is solid information from the Toyota ordering system, NOT speculation. I hope you enjoy it!

So I imagine you found this on Dealer Daily under preference request, although when I go there, it still has the 2006 info . . . am I doing something wrong, or did they change it back?

It's in the regional area of DD. Under Vehicle Distribution. There's some other info there too including the colors for the 2008 tC. If you have trouble finding it, just call me.

Yeah--and they didn't think older people would like the xB either. I like the uniqueness of the box and the bright yellow color. The old guy can find his car easier in the parking lot

well everyone knows that it isn't exact science, only a trend towards commonality.

I'm surprised the TCM is gone, since the color sold more than any other...also I agree there should be a red and a few more unique colors...not sold on anything "Teal"...sounds scary...
