Color decision time...

Hey guys... getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2010 TSX Auto w/Tech but I can't decide between PMM and Grigio. Anyone know which color this is?

It's the V6 version from the Chicago Auto show... I think that color just pops but I can't figure out which one it is. Looks like PMM to me.

You are correct, it is PMM. Grigio is a bit darker and depending on the light picks up a coffee brown or bronze ish color.

i wouldn't be surprised if they used a color that's not available to the public. A lot of the time they bring cars to shows in special colors that don't actually exist on the market. sux

Nope, PMM is available on all Acura's (2010) except the RL. I can't confirm the ZDX yet as I haven't heard the avail colors yet.

I think that color looks better on the showroom floor than it does outdoors.

If I had to choose again, it'd be either Black or Grigio. I do the car washes myself so Black wouldn't be too much of an issue keeping clean.

My request in order of preference was PMM, Grigio, PWP, and lastly CBP. I actually still have a buyer's order for the PMM one that they dicked around with for two weeks & lost it.

I bet someone here from Orlando bought the PMM one from Courtesy in Sanford.

Yeah, car washes are still fun at 27...talk to me when you're 42 & have baby seats, cheetos and ho-ho wrappers everywhere.

I don't think car washes are particularly "fun", just something I gotta do. I do take pleasure in the end result of it being clean. And I HATE doing interior detailing. About baby seats, do you put something under the baby seats like a towel so that they dont potentially leave any permanent marks on the leather seats? I once had to put on baby seats for a friend and it was a really tight fit that left some marks but it eventually went away. Or is that a safety issue of not having anything under the baby seats.

I have this black mat that is made particularly for putting under baby seats that I got from Babies 'R Us. My wife has one in her car as well. Works perfectly, the seat leaves no marks at all in the leather.

Grigio is a color that really grew on me... I looked at the silver(PMM) and the gray (PM) and then saw Grigio (GM) at different dealers... liked the GM the one day I saw it on a lot... then when picked up my car at another dealer, it looked sort of brownish that afternoon, so wasn't sure I really liked it...

Now after a month, I have come to really love the changing personality of GM... I think patracks has it nailed... some times it has this super rich dark gray feel... other days a sparkling coffee bean tone. At night it looks kinda blackish...Its unique and never boring!

In any event, the TSX is terrific and fun to drive... so good luck and have fun when you get it!
