Help me decide
Looking to pick up a 07 TL but can’t decide on a first choice for color. I am currently looking at both NBP and CGP on black leather interior. Now everyone knows that a black car looks amazing when it’s clean but keep in mind we have winter here and they use a lot of salt on the roads.
Looking for opinions from members here who own either one of the two colors in terms of keeping it clean/scratches showing etc. Right now I’m leaning towards the NBP but let’s see what you guys think.

Scratchs will show more on the black but if you learn how to properly care for it in the wash / dry process and treat it right the marring can be minimal.

^^^ i think he just wants a second opinion for reference. I would go with CGP, because when you do get it scratched, it will be less noticable and also, CGP is a rare color compared to black. I like CGP cause it's unique and it looks just as good as NBP.

I have an 07 NBP and love it. It does take more effort to keep clean but it's not terrible. I live in MD and got hit with mad snow this winter. It hurt to see the car that way but every car was covered in salt and dirt; there was no way to get around it. Really though, you cant go wrong with either color.
Here are some of the more dirty shots of my car

Silver is a very forgiving color-and a very classic one too.

Black's too hard to take care of, but you already have two silver cars. How about another suggestion: carbon bronze pearl.
CBP's got the pearl, so it shimmers in the sun. It also always looks dirty, so you never have to wash it.
