I have a black TL, and it's such a pain to keep it clean. IMO, when comparing CLEAN/WASHED cars, black almost always looks the best. However, if you aren't willing to invest time into washing your car, I'd say get white.

I have a Black TL also and loving it. I have a california duster to dust off a thin layer of dust every morning before driving to work. Like the previous post mention, if you're not willing to invest some time to keeping the car clean, then Black is probably not for you.

Black is absolutely gorgeous, but such a pain in the ass to keep clean. I try to wash my NBP TL weekly, weather permitting. It's dirty as shit again within 2-3 days (it's not garaged)....but I love it.

Some have complained that the bumpers on white have a noticabe yellowish discoloration. If this will annoy you, maybe black is a better choice. Check out the thread if you think it may be a concern to you.
The TL is my first black car. I was worried about keeping it clean, but it wasn't as hard as I thought. I just keep a few coats of quality wax on the paint. I prefer Zaino and their detailer spray. It keeps the paint very slick and shiny and keeps the dirt from sticking.

I have to let the new car drive lower speed for a while before I go to higher speed right?
how long do I need to do that?

WDP was the right choice...my bro has a NBP RSX and when you dont' keep it clean, it looks like sh1t. Even when you keep it clean, even the little dirty spots will be easily noticed. It'll just irritate you even more everytime you see it. WDP..ehh it gets dirty, but it's weird because it sort of still looks clean..and i'm pretty anal about the shineeeness (spelling sucks) of my car.
Also first 600 miles..baby it...that's waht i did ..but honestly it's controversial..some just floor it constantly right out of the dealership and don't have any problems.
