ok i'm close to making my deal in the next few days...and i need to decide on a color combination. right now i'm leaning towards CG with ebony interior...but the black with ebony interior is a close second. anyone have any advice?

 

Oh man, here we go...

 

nothing more rabid than a discussion about cgp vs nhb, although it won't be long before dzuy comes online to tell you to buy white and starts flailing you with a trout. You might run a search on the two colors to see what has been said before........

I had a black car before getting my TSX and have vowed never to get one again. They show dirt mercilessly, and unless you are one of those guys who will wash it weekly (and you may be) it will look soiled and dusty for some chunk of the time. I find the CGP to be reasonably tolerant of a certain amount of road grime before I feel it essential to wash it, which isn't easy in my urban location. That said, there are a number of devoted NHB TSX owners on this site, who would not have it in any other color.

The CGP is what might be called "gunmetal" on some color charts; in some lights, the color shifts to a blue-grey. Some have been distressed by that, others, like me, like the subtle change of color that the car illustrates in different light conditions. I also think the CGP works well with the aluminum trim of the interior, and the whole "package" is crisp, understated and very fresh. (I have the quartz interior, and in retrospect, might have been happier with black)

 

Good luck on the purchase pete! I would go with CG rather than blk. Black is so stinkin hard to keep clean. Although it looks great when it is clean. I like Silver because I you go weeks without washing and it still looks great.

 

thanks for the responses...i currently have a black car as well and i think it's time to change it up. personally i'm not sure i like the fact the CG looks blue in some lights, i wish it were darker...but i think that's what i'll go with

 

id go with black.. but thats just me.. ..

 

In the immortal words of Wesley Snipes:

"Always bet on black."

 

I don't think you can go wrong with either choice as long as it's matched to the ebony interior.

 

Anything with the ebony interior is fine by me

I am a bit partial to CG, but now that the milano red/black combo is available, I do believe that is my favorite color.

 

Either choice is great since you're choosing ebony interior for both, but I'd go with the NBP.

 

CGP w/ ebony rules..., since I have it

 

Get a CG. I have a black car rigght now and it saddens me when I put 2 hours into washing it/waxing it then it gets dirty 24 hours later

 

after going to the tsx meet in so cal.. i really liked the arctic blue (im a cg/ebony owner)

 

But in the immortal words of DJDZ

"Carbon Grey all the way" lol.

 

"Better dead, than red"

 

My last 3 cars were black (witch I like) but I feel like I should maybe do something differently this time... Nah, I ordered mine TODAY (Yeah baby) in black once more.

The little voice in my head tells me that I would end up regretting it if I pick something else.

:troutslap

much to contrary belief, i like cg. i just started messing with cg'ers a long time ago to poke fun at my buddy dabuda

cg > nhb

 

Why do most people like the Black interior with the Carbon Gray over the Grey interior? Just curious....

 

I think either choice would be good. My last two cars which includes the TSX have been black. I just love the look of black cars with tinted windows.

 

Because it's freaking hot

I think the black interior compliments the silver/aluminum trim and dash the best.

 

Neither, get the white or Silver.

 

Looks sweet with the trim, plus it's sportier in my opinion. I almost went with the quartz interior 'cause that's all they had, but another dealer came through with the ebony just in time. The quartz is nice but I love the ebony so much more. I like the look of a car with a darker interior and a slightly lighter exterior.
