I have black and its a pain to keep clean. As much as I love it, I would have picked white if I could have.

Yeah, cause I have black now, and if you don't wax it every other week, it starts to look like crap! (I should know better, it's my second black car, my third dark colour...)

I have black and black looks nice if done right. I think black stands out when the car is clean b/c the shine..its just glistens in the sun white/silver/brownish color doesn't really "bling" much after you wash it...not compared to black but thats just "my .10..my .02 is free."

I like the look of a clean black paint but think of another point. How hot a black car can be in dead summer if driven daily. If it was a second play toy go all black. But white would be hard to keep clean too. But white would be cooler in summer and still look good. just my .02

Honestly, I like the "Cayman White Pearl Tri-coat" (NH-585P). Which is what my car has. With some nice rims and lights, the car looks straight up CLEAN. My friends cant even make fun of me for ricing out my car...because its too clean. (But my last car, 2001 Bonneville, was black and when you wash a black car the right way, I agree with everyone, it looks DAMN NICE).

Dessert Mist Mettalic (Champagne) is the classiest and most expensive looking color in my opinion. It looks tight during the day and night and plus you dont see as many of them driving around.

I have the white 96 2.5 tl and the thing looks brand new when cleaned up real nice. the white is a classic clean color. it still holds up an amazing shine especially at night...

Too bad that doesn't last very long in my area... too many bugs, dirty raods, and it rains the day right after you wash your car.

I have found a few silver and some white 3.2 TL 1998 for around $10,000 with average round 70-85thousmiles
Have convinced the wife that since I just bought her a $1200 tea cup poodle (weighs 2lbs fully grown) that I need the silver or white and she will get my green tl, minus the exhaust, intake, chrome 2003 CL-S wheels, ect.
Only fair since shes getting a new lexus rx330 once my green tl payments r up jan 1 06.
Not bad 2 great cars and total car payments should be bout $550, cant beat it.
The fu%%cking lexus is going to set me back that much a month even with 10% down.
thnx for the input, leaning twards silver, but if find good deal on white will take it fur sure
