Carbon Gray or Artic Blue?! I can't decide!
Help me decide between Carbon Gray or Artic Blue.... and why. I like both colors equally...
I currently have a CG/QZ on order, but my build date is supposed to be Today. I'm not too confident though, since the dealer has already pushed the build date back once before. I told my dealer to also start looking into finding me a Artic Blue since I like the color just as much as CG. So which would you choose and why...

I had to wait for my CG/Ebony and although CG is not a unique color amongst the TSX group (meaning it is very common), you have to look at what you want. If it is simply waiting, whoopie!!! Its worth the wait. If you like the uniqueness of the Arctic Blue, get it.
Impatience is a great thing because it assumes there is anticipation. However, it can also force you do/buy something that maybe you really don't want. Its for you to decide.

I too went through the same thing, loved both colors but decided that the CG (with a little help from my girlfriend) was a little more classy. I do thing that the blue is awesome and very sporty looking, but I wasnt looking for a 2-door sports car. I know this doesnt help and nobody but you can decide. But just, as moda_way said, dont rush it!

I actually like the blue better on this car (plus it's MUCH more rare--I still haven't seen an ABP on the road). But you must consider that it can only be had with the ebony interior. That turned me off.

We came down to exactly the same two choices for color... Arctic Blue and Carbon Gray.
We ended up going with the Arctic Blue because it was a bit "sportier" than the Grey. Or as my mother-in-law said, "It looks less like the color that a limo would be painted in".
But it was a tough call! Still waiting, however, for the dealer to get back to us on a revised delivery date. Reminds me of that old Heinz Ketchup ad...

I have the Meteor Silver myself, and love it to death. If I had to do it over again, I would definitley buy this color. But, if I had to give a #2 choice, it would be the Artic Blue. Really sharp and kind of unique.
I can understand your confusion about the issue, because the CG is a really nice as well.
That said, I like the quartz interior better than the ebony. The ebony, being as dark as it is, shows some dirt very easily, and might get hot. I think the quartz is a perfect compromise between the parchment and the ebony.
But, to continue my pattern of working both sides of the street, I really like the way the ebony looks. I just think the quartz may be a easier color to live with over time.

dont get the gray unless your a boring old man....to me, that is what this color suggests. No flair, no personality, just kinda blah.....I didnt come to this conclusion until i saw one in person.
Go arctic blue..it is a whole different attitude altogether

I think the gray is sophisticated and sharp on this car. Silver and MSM work too. But I'd stay away from the arctic blue or red - they just look too plain on the TSX. Unless aftermarket (wings, spoilers, 20" wheels, etc) is your thing, which it well might be. The blue and red will go well with that stuff.

Just picked up mine tonight! - Arctic Blue/Ebony/AT - I am totally happy with this color. No spoilers or body kits for me, just the blue-ness of it all. BLUE is bold!
My salesperson couldn't stop talking about the color when she called me to tell me the car was in.

Arctic Blue is sharp, but too "primary" for me. CG was too conservative - but it was my #2.
I'm still (1.5 months later) lovin' my MSM. It's silver -- no, it's light blue -- no, it' silver -- no, it's light blue.
It's __different__ and that's why I like it!
