My '04 is Anthracite and my '05 is Satin Silver, but I have to say that the greatest head turning color goes to black.

As a postscript to this, have you ever noticed how some colors just seem to fit a given vehicle better than others? Not the obvious ones such as a pink Corvette (ugh) or a purple TL. But for some reason, some car models just "fit" certain colors better than others.

I'm not falling for another one of these questionnaires about color.

We all know what ISN'T:

WDP

So, naturally the obvious choice is...

N-B-P DAMMIT!!!!
Nope...not gonna do it...ask me something else!

There were some photos of a bright yellow 3G TL in the photos forum a couple of years ago.

Having a silver TL minimizes attention from 5-0 in the event I drive more quickly than surrounding traffic.

Kbp

If I would have bought a TL-S, it would have been KBP without a doubt.

KBP or NBP..too close to call IMO. Might have to give the slightest edge to KBP due to the fact it is a "rare" color. Although I CHOSE NBP

Ok, I was thinking about this question. Yeah, I would have to agree that KBP is the color that would grab someone's attention first. It's because of the type of color it is. It's eccentric, electric.

But there is no doubt in my mind that NBP is the best color for the TL. It is not only promoted aggressively by yours truly...but has won the POLL conducted on this forum hands down - just like 6MT has!! Nuff said!!

So you see...it's not just that "MOI" thinks that NBP isthe best...YOU DO TOO!!
For the people in the back - yes, I own 6MT and NBP!!

Head Turning??

For shear Stand-Out against the crowd, it's gotta be KBP.

Sure, WDP looks classiest, NBP polishes best, etc. But we're talking about attention-grabbing, head-turning ability and IMO, that's KBP.


FWIW - EVERY 3G TL turns my head.

Although I have a WDP, I would say a CLEAN and DETAILED NBP looks the best for ANY CAR.

But 90% of the black cars I see on the street are not even clean.

For the TL, I personally think the KBP is the most unique colour, and I would definitely turn my head if I see one.

As for WDP, NBP, and ASM, there are just way too many out there on the street to make my head turn, unless it's a CLEAN and DETAILED NBP.

Personally I'm a fan of all the colors the TL type-S comes in, except I think red would be last on the list and KBP would be first.

just kidding!!
I love KBP.
I personally think I'm happy with all the colors TL-S's come with. They all fit the car perfectly.

WDP gives that clean and...beautiful feeling.
NBP is cool, and sporty and dark/mysterious
KBP is sharp...more of a unique color
SSM fits the TL-S gunmetal stockers really nicely.

But I'm gonna have to go with WDP maybe because I have a NBP myself, so there's nothing to look at when I see one go by.

I gotta agree. I think the unique colors will get the heads turning. Addition by subraction! Mine is a DGP and I get a lot of looks (well, the car does anyway).

You line up the 2 cars next to each other under showroom lights or outside for that matter a detailed, just waxed fresh KBP and the same of a NBP and look at the cars in every angle..you would be looking all day long.

Why isnt there a poll on here?
We all know if there was a poll, NBP would win!!!
I turn heads everywhere I go, whether its my always clean NBP, the hott looking DUBs, or me

I think MRP would be second, and then KBP.

Oy! not easy to pick clear-cut winner.

NBP - a real neck-twister ONLY when clean and polished. A dirty one - even one with a slight film of dirt - would be near last.

WDP - There are only a select group of cars ever made that would break necks in white. TL is one of those.

KBP - On a clear summer evening with a warm sunset, clear the HOV lane and bow for the one and only....

Reason why its won the polls is because there are alot more NBPs and WDPs in production than there are KBP's. As far as what is the best color for the TL, that depends on a persons taste. But overall as far as what color is the most noticable it would defenitly be the KBP hands down.

Kinetic blue type S made me break my neck today at the corner of woodlawn and south.

Therefore, kinetic receives the most attention when viewed by the naked eye.

I look at every TL I see on the road and the kinetic just does something different.

dude take another look.............yes i understand NBP is a great color. This the reason why I wanted to start this thread because I go down and the street and peoples heads snap off theyre leaning much. The NBP blends in with the other cars. Thats all Im saying. Back to my question. WHICH COLOR THAT THE TLS COMES IN GETS THE MOST ATTENTION!!!?? if you think that NBP gets more attention than the KBP does then like I said......TAKE ANOTHER LOOK!
