Here's the thing: I want an iQ, I love the car, I think it looks awesome, I like how it drives, I like all the stuff you can do to it...but I want it in RED
I want a ridiculously tiny, toy-like RED car.
Why? Because A) red is awesome, and B) I collect transformers and one of my favorites is Cliffjumper
Cliffjumper is a pint-sized badass. The iQ is a pind-sized badass. Cliffjumper packs shockingly huge guns around and nobody's sure where he puts them. The iQ has a shockingly large interior space capble of holding several grown adults and nobody;s sure how.
I plan to replace the scion badges with chrome Autobot logos, I've got a custom bumper sticker made up and waiting at cafepress with Cliffjumper's G1 tech specs on it.
My car will be Cliffjumper.
But Cliffjumper is not orange.
For some insane reason, the iQ is only available in a handful of colors and none of them are red. It's kind of weird for a brand that's all about customization to only offer a couple of colors, but whatever.
So here's my question: The dealership doesn't have a Hot Lava IQ on-hand, and pictures online I've seen make it look either really orange, or basically red.
So...how red/orange is Hot Lava? Is someone going to look at it and see a red car? Can I say "oh, mine's the red one?" or is it really pretty much orange?
Also, has anyone had any luck getting a custom color from the dealership?
I know they've got red paint at the Toyota factory, I've seen other scions in red. How hard can it be to get them to point the red paint at mine when they build it?
Thanks in advance
