What to do???

Alright I thought I was gonna get Red/Ebony but it turns out there are none on the entire east cost. So my second choice is Silver/Ebony...can't decide on what color to get now..people have mixed feeling about the Red, saying it might look too dark. I cant decide on what to get..

please help...Thanks

Don't settle. Don't get what other people think looks good. Get what you want even if you have to order it.

If you want the red .. get the red .. remember you're the one who has to stop, turn around and look at it longingly before you go inside for the night, (Or is that just me ).

For me, the red is just an awesome color and worth the wait.

silver shows the least amount of dirt. I bought black because my other car is silver and of course we can't have two cars the same color..... At least thats what my Wife said

The red is just right. Deep. Metal flake to boot. I really like it.
As DB has already said, get what you like. Don't hurry the decision, you're going to be living with it for years.

Go for the Red Redona as their are not many around. I saw only one here in Vancouver and it looked really nice. The color really makes the paint look wet and shiny with the pearl added to the paint job. During the day it glows and at night it is dark just like the Night Hawk BLack. It is a pretty cool color!!!!!

Yea, I agree with others. It is your car, you will be driving it. Who cares what others thing? If you really did care what others thing you would buy a BMW or MB. The TL is an awesome car and you will only be fully satisfied if YOU like the color, not what others think.

Personally, I like the SSM better - but if you like the red, wait, or have them order one for you.

SSM is always a good choice but they are everywhere. This car looks sportier and more expensive with the RRP and ebony. Yes, the local dealer did have one on the lot when last I was there but that was in September.

RRP is a great color...

Before I bought my TL, I was hooked on red. When I got to the dealer, they had the silver and red (and black and AM) and i had a REALLY hard time deciding. They ALL looked so great!!! I wished I could have one of each

In the end, I went w/ my first love and I haven't regretted it.

In school, when taking a multiple choice test, don't they say that you should go w/ your first instinct?

I would go for the Red Redona as it is a very unique color. Their is way too much Silvers out there and Red is very rare. I like the the deep red pearl in the shade. But the red really comes out in the sun!!!!! Very nice color and it is well worth the wait!!!!
