Sure.I was hoping people would lol, but comments are Welcome, And i heard that on white its extra coated paint layer so less scratches are visible is this true ? and if i want the least amount of scratches what color am i better off with out of these ?

I voted for the grigio gray but if you are good at keeping your car clean and washing and waxing religiously then I'd go with Black. When black is clean with a mirror finish, it is badazz!

Well, of course, I vote black.....do keep in mind, it's a pain in the ass to keep it clean.....it's also a dust magnet. ....however, there's nothing that screams class and elegance better than a squeaky-clean black car. However, If you want something with less hassle and hides dirt and scratches better, go with something silver like grigio or polished metal metallic.

^^since you are from Mass, I'll say that if you don't bleed RedSox Red, you'll go to hell! Well I took Tommy Lasorda's(TL!!) quote and modified it. Mimicry is the best form of flattery.

DWP ofcourse. White is vicious and hides the dust and pollen on the car much better. ......Plus when it is clean it is sexy. My second opinion would be black, but you know its murder to keep up with. JMHO.
#12
Yes you are right about looking cleaner especially in the summer. One bad thing about DWP though is that rock chips show much easier on this color than any other color. I hope you have a clear bra for that painted grill because I hear the paint flakes off the grill easier than the body itself. Atleast that is what my dealer kept saying and discouraging me to paint the grill!

Anything but Crystal Black Pearl! Unless you are a detailer, or unless you like constant swirls and dust every two hours! This Crystal paint job is the worst I've seen on any Honda! My friend has a 2006 Black Honda Accord and his paint job is better than mine, and mine is garaged! However, one positive note, at night time this car just looks frickin' hot in black! So keep that in mind for the CBP, looks great, but you'll be washing and detailing all the time, I know I am. Good luck wit it!

DPW, it helps when you are at high speed, we tend to look like a white blur to the police officer on the side of the road.
Not that I urge anyone to speed, Always do the local speed limit.

I vote Grigio because that's what I got lol. My last car was black, and I couldn't take the constant washing and waxing for another three years. Black is the best though when it's clean, nothing is classier.

You can still get black and not wax and stuff, get a special paint layer called Xzylon something like that

I bought a Palladium Metallic, but if I was buying again today, I think I might get the Grigio. I think of the darker colors, it is the one that the grill blends in best with. Second choice of your colors is white - I have never liked white cars, but the TL looks nice in white.
#19
DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, get Palladium. STAY AWAY. Take my word for it. Too many people are drawn to my car for reasons they can't explain, thus missing the inherent ugliness universally vilified by me, the media, 3G and prior devotees.
The inscrutable words of my longtime favorite Asian Honda salesman: upon first sight of my TL when I brought my girlfriend in for the delivery of her 09 Accord EX, he proclaimed, "This is not a car. This is a color!"
Yes. It is.

I used to own a black car. Looks great but very time consuming upkeep. If you want your main hobby to be taking car of your car (and many enjoy that), then black is fine.
Otherwise, go with White for easier maintenance.

When I got mine, they had a Polished Metal Metallic, Black, and Grigio all next to each other. The PMM and Grigio were pretty hard to tell apart. The black looked really sharp close to dusk, but it's so much work. I went with PMM and am really happy with it.
#24
I feel strongly both ways
I'm not a huge fan of "the beak" so I went with Palladium Metallic because thats the color that blends in with the chrome the best. Got it with the taupe interior (the only way to go in the interior IMO). Anyway the car looks sharp as hell, it hardly shows dirt at all and it downplays the beak.
Win-win-win situation.

I voted black, which is the color I plan on getting when I buy my 4G, but I'm a little concerned about the upkeep issue. I currently have a silver 3G and I don't have to wash and wax that often. Like others have said, nothing looks better than a black car when it's clean. If you can deal with the maintenance get black!
