Does NBP make the TL look... small?

After many beatings/brainwashings, I finally got my buddy to test drive the 04 TL and he loves it! He's going to get one now.

We went to the lot and he said that NBP makes the TL looks 'smaller'. Any of you TL owners think that? The NPB he was looking at was sitting next to a SSM. I assume he thinks that because NBP is dark.

Your buddy is correct...perceptually of course. The WDP TL looks big in comparison. I noticed this at the dealer's lot also. It's the reason why women wear black if they want to look slimmer...although I still feel spandex pants should have a weight limit :toothless :devil: !!!

IMO black hides the shape of the car. the cool looks of black are based on the reflections themselves. some people like that, others think it looks plain.
