I chose Silver...but that's because I liked Silver, and not blue. So the answer is which color do you like?

I think the blue is much more 'sportier' looking than the silver. However, I see more blue than silver in Jersey, very odd, so silver might be rarer in your backyard.

Silver traditionally is easier to sell in the long run if you plan on selling it yourself when the time comes. If you plan on trading, I would go with whichever you like better. Blue is very uncommon in my area (as is the TSX period), so if you want to be different (as long as the situation is the same for you), I'd go with ABP. I'm buying an ABP because blue is my favorite color, and I love the ABP shade. That, along with the uncommon factor is what decided it for me.

I say the Arctic Blue because its not as common as the SSM color. Also, it looks more sporty in Blue.

Blue - to keep it sportier looking (young)

Silver - If you want it to look more mature.. as someone said tinting looks better with this color.

Thanks for the opinion!

Hey guys and gals,

Thank you very much for all of your opinions!

To be completely honest, the main reason I am so indessisive about the color is bc originally I owned a black mercedes slk and even though I loved the car, u can see dirt a mile away on it! So I swore i would get a different color when I got my next car. I than bought a Meteor Silver Jag x-type. The color is ok, but the car was a very bad choice. To make a long story short, I just wanna make sure I get this descision right the first time around so that I have no regrets about the car! So once again, thank you all very much for all of your opinions!

Peter

you're 23 which is about the same age I am and to me at least, the blue is younger and more sporty like everyone else says. Also if you drive down any road today, 70-80% of the cars will be silver/gray.....I like that the blue stands out.

It really doesn't show dirt that bad, but when you get it you'll be washing the car no matter if it looks dirty or not. That was the case with me!

Thanks a lot yuhoo22! Its a lot of help getting other peoples opinions who are around my age. Blue is definately a more sporty color than the silver. It also makes the silver trim on the car stand out a lot more. I am definately leaning more towards the blue. I'll definately keep you updated as to what I get this week. Thanks again!
