Hey guys. I'm thinking about buying a Type S, but I can't decide on which color I like better: Aegean Blue or the Satin Silver.

Any comments or opinions?

Thanks.

 

I think the Aegean Blue is the best color offered. I would have gotten it; however, the wife hated it so we settled on the Dark Emerald. Silver is nice, but I don't think it's as eye catching as the Aegean. Go to the gallery forum -- someone there, I think Mr Hyde, has posted pics of their Aegean w/ body kit and spoiler. If that doesn't sell you on it, I don't know what will. On the other hand, the silver will be MUCH, MUCH easier to keep clean looking.

 

Definitely get the Aegean Blue TL over the SS. If you get the SS, you might mistaken another SS TL for yours because 80% of TLs out there are SS.
BTW, have you seen the Aegean Blue color in real life. That color is awesome!

I like silver - BUT there are like a bajillion silvers on the road. The ABP will get more looks. It is beautiful!! How long do you plan on keeping it? If it is going to be for a long time - Silver, if you want to keep in for say... ~6 years - ABP.

Mods? What mods? I can't afford mods, I'm getting married!!
Vin says 2001, but it's really a 2000 with an upgraded cupholder!!

 

i dont like the blue unless it has the spoiler and bodykit.. but without them its looks boring. But the Silver is nice. You could never go wrong with it.

Yeah, I probably wouldn't keep it for more than 6 years. I'm just a little hesitant on the ABP as it seems like a "trendy" color that has a chance not to last after the next few years.........

 

Argean Blue looks dope... it's new.

I personally love silver but like others have said, there are tons of silvers. It still looks clean though. The best thing about silver is that you don't have to clean often for it to look clean. So if you're a busy person.... you could probably go w/o a car wash for a little bit more than say Argean Blue.

Go for the WDP. I was leaning towards the blue, but after looking at it for a long time, it was just TOO much BLUE. I love my White Diamond Pearl. Looks good even filthy dirty!

 

Aegean Blue for sures. It is a beautiful color that perfectly suits the TL Type-S.

 

Honestly both colors are nice, but I do think the Aegean blue will get played out. I mean look at the Civic Si blue. At first it was really nice but now its just blah. Silver is the way to go and it will always be in style. Truthfully its your choice though...whichever you like cuz your the one whose going to be driving the car.

I'm getting the silver but it was a trade off.
I didn't want another car with black interior and I hate that bowling ball type fake woodgrain but I just loved the silver!
Exterior colors for the S are too limited.
I didn't like black, white, or dark green.

 

Kudos to your wife! It's nice to know that she had a say in the buying decision. Some husbands just go out and buy a car without any input from the better half. We test drove a silver one (which we both did not want and white was definitely out of the question along with the blue) so the choice came down between the black or the emerald green. My husband wanted black and I wanted green. Boy, I sure do love my DEP! It's a very classy color and since this was supposed to be my ride -- I didn't want a black car. We are both very happy with the color choice and have no regrets. Besides, our Trooper is black so he can drive that!

 

I voted with my wallet - silver.

I think the blue is a little too fly for my tastes, and resale is an important issue if you flip cars frequently as I seem to do.

It also is cooler inside - ueful in a high heat area.

 

Silver is classic!

 

Gee, I dunno I'm unbiased see my signature

I must say, I'm quite pleased with my decision of silver. Granted, the darker colors look awesome right after you clean it. But that quickly changes after a light drizzle. It is true that there are a lot more silver cars on the road, but maybe there's a reason for that

You can’t go wrong with either color. Its my opinion that the blue gives off a more prestigious/classy look, where as the silver is more "sporty'. I almost took delivery of the blue, but at the last minute I changed my mind.. for me silver was the better choice.

i'd have to say go with the silver, not because i have it , but i think the blue is a "fad". my friends were all saying get the blue, get the blue. but i went with silver. it all depends on what you like, but whatever it is, it's going to be a TL-S!!
