Mikan Blast Thoughts?

[gbreezer80]

I have an order placed for a Mikan Blast 45th Anniversary MT (model 2387), but am having second thoughts. All of the photo's and reviews I've seen, the color varies from Orange/Red to Orange; I'm not big on an Orange vehicle, unless it's more on the reddish side.

Has anyone on this forum actually seen this car in person and can describe the paint color, e.g., pearlized like the Absolute Zero paint?

I love my 2023 Absolute Zero MT (model 2385) and will be selling it once the 2024 MT SE arrives early next year.

I saw one at FD. It's definitely orange, but somewhat pale. Not bright enough imo. Maybe in the right cloud cover it could look more red. But it's definitely orange

Definitely gonna need to see it in person before passing any judgement on it.

I have a deposit on a Mikan Blast. That's all that I can contribute to these forums.

I love orange and for my fun car to stand out a bit. Its not my favorite BMW orange but i still like it because it is orange and that's unique. I have an absolute zero 23 manual as well and don't know that I'd go trading it for an orange one just on the price difference alone. The A91 MTs and the refraction blue cars are probably the only ones I'd prefer over my absolute zero (unfortunately refraction was auto only so it goes out the window for me).

It also sounds if you're a bit unsure about it...I wouldn't do it unless I was fully confident in the purchase. Still, you can probably sell it for more than you paid to someone after you get it if you really don't like it but then the problem would be finding that person and finding another new Supra for yourself. Did you get the sense that the non special edition cars have long waits as well? I think the other part of the equation is what you're paying for it - if you're getting it at sticker or within 3K of sticker I'd probably just go for it because clearly dealers are going nuts with it.

I think it’s the same color as the trdpro tundra..you may want to verify that, but in pics it’s looks the same. If so, perhaps you can go see that tundra in person to help you make a decision. Keep in mind you can always do a wrap. I just wrapped my CU Later in white.

Got one here at the show. Don't like it in person. Too redish.

Nothing special like other years it's a standard color option in other markets. Only in the states it's marketed as special. https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/toyota-details-2024-updates-for-gr-performance-models

Because only those of us in the states are stupid enough to fall for the special marketing.

It's quite a unique colour from the below video and photos.

Many photos I have seen in the media had been digitally processed (only God knows why) and made the colour looks flat and dull.

The GT4 Evo is Plasma Orange, afaik, slightly different than Mikan Blast
