06 Color Keyed T4R

while I was in for service today, I checked out a white 06 Limited V8 that was on the showroom floor. This truck had a color keyed grille. It sure looks nice! I'm not a huge fan of the chrome grille that seems much more common on the 06 4Rs. Even though I really like the new look, I was stoaked to see my 4R when they drove it up to the waiting area after the service was complete.

Yeah, I'm not all too thrilled with the chrome trimming Toyota's adding, door handles, grilles and rear license plate trim piece. 2006 SR5's have regular chrome while Sports have a smoked chrome
 
I was thinking about it and it's funny because I've come full-circle:

In 2003, the only model I would have considered was the Limited due to the color-keyed cladding.

With the addition of color-keyed cladding on the SR5 and Sport, the Sport was the best choice for me (hence my purchase of a Sport Edition in '05).

Now, with the '06, the chrome grill, door handles, and license plate trim on the SR5 and the "smoke" chrome on the Sport Edition just haven't grown on me. Plus, I don't like the Sport Edition's tube step bars (though I do like the tube roof rack).

So...that leaves me upsold again with the Limited, with its color-keyed grill and 18" wheels. I saw a photo of a white Limited and I agree, it looks great.

However, I'm perfectly happy with my '05, so figuring out other ways of justifying a Limited is not a problem for me. :)
