Wink which color?

So my brother and I are going to the dealership today. He is interested in getting the S, but he is asking me which color to get. I really like the Kinetic blue, but the Nighthawk black is real sexy. So need you guys to help him make his decision.

NBP is bad ass but its a very common Honda/Acura color. I would go Carbon Bronze or Kinetic.

Wow, thanks for lots of inputs. And all the colors too... haha!! I think all colors are nice, but just personal choice I am leaning toward either the blue or the black. I had a black 02 TLS and it was a bitch to keep clean. But when it is clean it is

When the time comes to sell the car, which one do you think will sell the fastest:
Bright Cobalt Blue or Black?

Everybody here will pick the color they like best. You can either go with a color somebody else likes best, or go with something you like best. These threads baffle me.

as much as i love my kbp, and i have only once in 6 months seen another one on the road, i must admit if i was to do it over again, i would choose silver or white...kbp is about the same as having a black car...10 minutes after i wash it, its dirty again....

+1! I was going to suggest NBP because that's the third NBP Acura I've had over the years .... but like leedogg pointed out, it's really a personal taste what color your brother likes ... can't go wrong with either one even though they all have their advantages & disadvantages ...

Good luck & let us know what your brother decide in the end ....

Carbon Bronze Pearl

if you want different color bumpers go with the WDP due to the flex paint acura uses. That's was a deal breaker for me see that on a car with no miles on it

The car we test drove was WDP. I really like the color, WDP with black interior. But there was a very clean KBP that really caught my eye. This is my first time test driving a 3G TLS and it feels like I driving a german mixed with VTEC. It handles great and I was really impressed. We are still working on the numbers, but we will make a final decision in a couple of days.

CBP, but please no more in my city! Beautiful with the two-toned seats. I was the first here with that combo, and never saw it on the lot, just guessed. Now there are a few more running around just like it after the salesperson saw it.
