Anyone disappointed the orange, red and (cancelled?) dark blue aren't available?

Are they coming?

I am not sure what it is in the US, but here in Canada we have 5 choices. White, Grey, Silver, Black and Electric Blue. It's unfortunate as the 2016 RAV4 Hybrid's design looks great but the colours are just like everything else on the road (with the exception of blue). Hopefully, next year red will come back and Toyota changes up the colours.

Yep the US gets the same. One colour: blue. Technically the other 4 are shades of the greyscale.

Is there likely to be more colors added later? I'm new to how they handle this sort of release of colors and options.
Cheers

For the sake of accuracy there are two different whites. Super White on the XLE and Blizzard Pearl on the Limited.

I guess I don't want to dance in the wind hoping for a red one and it never happening.

Equally if it turns out they just have a delay due to the floods I can wait a few months.

If only this Sapphire color option was available...
I think as of now it has only been displayed at some auto shows in Europe as a concept color.
The interior looks sweet, too!!

The flooding happened long after the hybrid went into production. It had no effect on the colors available.

I wouldn't expect the colors to change mid year. Maybe next year, which could be around November?

All the hybrids are sold out in both my local dealers.

All hybrids go very quick (at least in my area) and I had to snatch up the color that I wanted (white) and now am a brand new owner of an hybrid xle!

If I want a specific spec and color, am I gonna have to pay full sticker price?

If your location has limited inventory, yes, but you can negotiate accessories. Apparently they are in high demand AND limited stock.

I'll wait for it to die down a bit then.

If you have the patience, yes please do!!!

Same here. Full MSRP price even on cash sale.

Where are you located? Inventory in CA has been very limited for the hybrid but that may be starting to improve. Color isn't going to affect price as much as just the availability.

Pricing depends upon your location and regional inventory. Here in New York you should not have to pay MSRP- you should be able to get close to an invoice deal, or better, and the dealership should be able to find your choice of options. Last time I checked the "electric blue" was the only difficult to get paint color...

I'm in Silicon Valley. You can imagine the wait times I'm sure ������

I'm in the same and it took me a while to get the color I wanted (white), about two weeks and would have to be pre-contracted. The blue/silver is more available though. I purchased mine through Fremont, avoid Capital.

Would like to know why you avoid Capitol? They have the option to retrim the car in Catzkin leather which is appealing to us.
