I like red cars-my last car was a red Sebring Convertible. I would have gotten a red TL, but I fell into my silver Type S. I really love the silver, but I still like the RRP Type S too.

My TSX that I traded in was red, loved it, but I didn't love the red on the TL. I was going to go with Nighthawk black but at the time of purchase we had a black accord and the wife didn't want 2 black cars, don't get me wrong, I love the Carbon Bronze, but every time I see a black TL I get a little jealous...

I originally wanted to get a carbon bronze color but It was sold out at that time. So I got Silver type-S. I have always regreted whenever I see Carbon bronze color. Somehow I love Silver color now.. Kinetic blue is also nice.. inmy opinion.

I went in getting a WDP, I came out w/ a NBP. Quite the opposite.

I initially wanted a RRP one but at the time of purchase it was in Cali thus settled with an AM. WDP is growing on me (on any car).

LOL I bought a NBP TL cause I reeeeally wanted a black car (I had never owned a black car before) coming from a white Maxima I didn't really consider a WDP TL...After 4 years of owning the NBP TL though...sometimes I reeeeally wish I would have gotten a WDP TL... NBP is a pain in the a** to keep clean...at the same time though I love my NBP/Ebony TL.

Oh I remember why I didn't get a WDP TL now....they only had two at the dealer and both had Parchment (Beige) interior. I wanted Quartz (Grey) interior....WDP/Quartz is extremely rare color combo and I definately did not want the Tan interior.

I had similar experience, I walked into a dealer "thinking" I wanted WDP or NBP, walked out with AM. NO REGRETS. AM is a sexy azz color.

I bought a NBP but at the timie I didn't have a choice. I've always wanted the WDP probably repaint the bumpers as soon as I got one though lol

...but I regret getting TL with no NAVI. I guess I'll have to do the $2K conversion.

I've had 3 WDP TL's in a row (I lease). My usual reaction in seeing another color is "I'm sure glad I got white".

I'd regret getting a WDP w/ the beige interior. I really want a WDP w/ the ebony interior. So far I've been unsuccessful in finding one.

Definitely no regrets. I would regret it big time if I didn't get a black car. I'm in that Henry Ford mindset of "you can have any color you want as long as it's black"

yeah lol WDP/Ebony color combo was only available for 06 models (they dropped the WDP/Quartz combo in 06).....WDP/Ebony in a 6spd with Nav is my dream color combo but its VERY rare though

I wasn't even looking for a TL when I got mine. I was looking for an small SUV for my parents, then I looked on kijiji at TLs and this one came up. I didn't really care about the color as long as it wasn't the beige one, I really don't like that color. I like my silver alot, I see silver the least around here (blue and red are so rare to begin with so not counting those). All black and white ones everywhere.

No regrets here either! If I am going to spend 30K+ on a car, I better get the color combo I want.

Anthracite, but it was another 4 hours drive and I was to lazy. I like silver good enough. I really don't care about what color it is as long as it isn't orange, yellow, or some other flashy obnoxious color.

Don't really have any regrets, i love my AM. The only color i would rather have over AM is WDP. It was hard enough to find one in 6MT & Navi though. The guy i bought it from listed it online Saturday, i looked / test drove it Sunday, went to the bank and bought it Monday.

I've always had a black car, so when I went looking, I was only looking at NBP. I also liked the black interior on most NBPs, and didn't care for the tan in the WDP. After looking around I saw a WDP and had to have it. Only small regret is not waiting and finding a WDP with the black interior (lil more sporty in my book).

I love KBP but it wasn't offered on the 04 TL

I wish I would have gotten AM, but I still like my WDP

ASM has grown on me a lot. It stays a lot cleaner. I love white cars though, WDP would have been my other option. My Lexus was Diamond White Pearl. I was looking at WDP standard TLs or this car. The options vs. price won out over color choice.
