I'm buying a TLS in the next few days but I can't decide which color to get. I've narrowed my options to either the White or Silver.

 

Just my honest, unbiased opinion.

Oh yea White doh

 

They're both hot colors, so I think you should decide based on what you want. I'll tell you this though, I see a lot more silvers then whites on the road.....

 

blue ... too many silvers... white is ok..

 

Black!.........but out of those two I would go w/ Silver.....

 

If i had to do it all over again i would get white.

 

Personally I chose Black for mine because in FL it's a rare color. But in your case I would go with the White- it's phat.

 

Not silver. Thats what I got!
And I have yet to see a silver TL-S in Houston.

 

I wanted white, but we I already have a white car. I love how the white TLS's look. Too many silvers out! Go for white!

 

You must not live in my part of town (you know, the nice part. ) Mine is also silver. I guess I'm your twin (shudder).

 

I feel faint..

 

Why not go with Ethernal Blue?? It's an Canadian Exclusive color... I wanted Ebony interior, so Silver and Black were my only 2 choices...

WHITE! we have 2 white cars now, and last few were all white cars...

 

White Diamond Pearl. I now have two white Acura's.

 

Both colours are nice on a Type-S. But if I were to pick a colour besides eternal blue, then ... WHITE is cool. (AKRY may have forgotten to mention that the TYPE-S 'other' exclusive colour is white...)

Hope that helps. And congrats!

Funny guy!!
And by the nice side of town, do you mean where all the crack hoes congregate around your car? Then you would be right!

 

What can I say - a guy's gotta make a living.

 

Those are the only two colors you're considering? Tough, because silver has been the most popular color for cars in general the last few years, so there are a lot of silver vehicles on the road. On the other hand, any car in white looks like a rental car to me. Go for the silver!

 

I have silver, and I like it.. but it's a bit zzzz at times..

out of the two choices, I say go for the WDP and pimp it out with some chrome 18"s

 

noble green like mine!

 

I've got White Diamond, and it looks very nice, especially with the ebony interior. You never see swirls or small scratches and it seems to stay clean looking longer. That said, I saw a brand new noble(?) green TLS today, fresh off the lot. It's the first TLS I've seen in my little town, other than mine. That is a beautiful color on this car! If you haven't seen it yet, I would definitely look for it.

 

I would get Blue!!!

 

ice091298, you have a noble green TL-S? I thought they only came in DEP.

Also, AKRY, is the eternal blue that you stated being exclusive to Canada available on the TL-S? They do have eternal blue in the US, but it's only available on the TL-P.

But about my color choice, I would have easily chosen Anthracite over WDP if it had been available on the TL-S.

 

In my humble opinion, white is a more elegant color while silver is a more sporty color. I would get white, but thats just me.

 

Definitely WDP!
Too many Silver's out there.

 

Thanks to all that voted.

I've decided that i'm getting the WDP.

 

Yap, Eternal Blue TLS is exlusively to Canada!!! But again, you guys have WDP/Ebony(the color combo I really want initially before I saw Aegean Blue)...

Here are the available color combo for TLS in Canada

WDP/Parchment
Eternal Blue/Parchment - Canada ONLY
Naples Gold/Parchment - Canada ONLY
NBP/Ebony
SSM/Ebony

And I agree Athracite looks good with TL!!!

I really like white myself.
My wife bought a black Type-S in May. My biggest grip is it scratches so easily. The car is full of scratches everywhere. Her 97 CL in cherry red had great paint but the paint on this car is to easily scratched IMO.

Great car though drives much better than my 2000 ES 300.

 

what, no one likes Aegean Blue?

That's the best TL colo IMO

 

Ruski,

I agree, Aegean Blue is one of the nicest color for TLS! I wans going for WDP, which looks very elegant IMO... then later found out that Canadian TLS only comes as WDP/Parchment, and I wanted WDP/Ebony.... however, the more I look at Eternal Blue, the more I like it.....

Here is my preferred/wanted combo...(in order, from most favourite down)

Aegean Blue Pearl/Ebony - N/A in Canada
WDP/Ebony - N/A in Canada
Anthracite/Ebony - N/A on TLS
Eternal Blue/Ebony - N/A

Aegean blue is the best LOOKING color IMO.. I got the silver because it is right behind the blue and isn't as hard to keep looking clean as the blue.

Now, between the silver and white, I would say silver, BUT I will say that I saw a white TL with the kit and all yesterday and it looked TIGHT. Out of all the TL colors, white (and NGM) is by far the rarest. So if getting a color that hardly anyone else has is a big deal to you, get the white, otherwise get the silver.

You won't be disappointed either way.
