I agree also, I have always liked the WDP but on this car I think it makes the grille stand out to much...the palladium and polished metal seem to hide it more or atleast make it look flush, maybe b/c the chrome blends better.

After seeing the SH-AWD in Palladium Metallic in person and take some photo of it, I would say:
1. Palladium Metallic
2. Crystal Balck Pearl (I always love Black color car )
3. Polised Metal Metallic

I've only seen base tech models at the local dealer and they were black and white. Between the two, I liked the black better.

I haven't seen a 4th Gen in Red personally, but the pics of member PetesTL's red one put that color high on my list, along with black and possibly silver.

Pics in this thread;

From the pictures I've seen thus far, I like black the best. I haven't seen any in person yet.

The darker colors look the best on the car. The lighter colors make the rims look really small and mask the chrome pieces all over the car. Dark color + dark tint = heck of a look.

I have the anthracite tl now. What color matches up closest to this (polished metal or grigio). Do you think paladium is too light or specifically are you referring to WDP and the Blue. Thanks

I actually like the lighter colors in this car, as there is quite a bit of chrome, as well as the "beak of disdain". They seem to mute the chrome and silver while looking sleek. I ordered the WDP/Taupe, and intend to apply a tint for some contrast. Next favorite color I have seen is Palladium.

That said, I am really looking forward to seeing the Mayan Bronze with Umber interior in the AWD, and I may be tempted to Monty Hall with my dealer if it looks as cool as I think it will

The Pladium looks ok, it is a little on the lighter side. The grigio has a brownish tint to it but is a pretty color. My favorite is the polished metal which IMO would be the closest to what you have now. Its not as dark like the grigio but the grigio has that brownish tint to it.

White looks really sharp. I bet a black roof top will make it pop even more so!
