I've always loved the CL-S in white. I'd hate to clean it, but it looks REALLY sweet! NOVAwhiteTypeS's was the first one I saw and from outside he was stock except Comptech springs and sways and I swear his car looked like it had aftermarket wheels on it when it was moving. Just beauty in motion. Plus all the black rubber and trim on our car really stands out on the white.

I originally wanted white BUT I can't stand tan interiors.

There wasn't a dealer in town that had a white/ebony in stock or on the way when I bought mine so ......

Wow you guys actually like the white? I bought a white/ebony cls due to lack of options (that was the only type s without navi avaliable in the dealership--kinda wanted a black or blue). Parked I think the black or blue colors look nicer, but yes in motion the rims really stand out

Aw cummon, nobody actually compliments white

But it is really easy to keep clean--the brightness masks dirt and stuff unless it's really bad or you're up close.

It lloks good now but.........

I saw a nice clean TL today and also really like the white - but it shows dirt almost as much as the black - I could argue more than the black.

i highly doubt it. i just washed the car this past weekend and took off 5 layers of dirt you had to be close up to see. black will show way more, but when it comes to dings (cringe at the thought) black owns white.

WHITE RULES!

I agree the blue is a younger person's color that doesn't have the potential for old-people-luxury that the black or white have, but I don't see it going away as everyone loves the blue whereas few people actually liked the gold (I thought it was pimp but I wouldn't want to own it).

I have to agree that white is the way to go. I was looking into a silver cl-s when I walked into Sterling McCall Acura in Houston. They had my car setting out front. It was a certified pre-owned car with less than 5000 miles on it. Taffeta white with ebony interior, Navi, spoiler, dark tint, and mud gaurds. Being a certified pre-owned, Acura added an extra year and 12,000 miles to the factory warranty plus warranting the power train for 100,000 miles. I can drive the hell out of it and not have to worry about the warranty expiring before the transmission does. As you can tell, not much regret for not getting silver.

I think every CL-S should have the Ebony interior. I don't know any colors that look better with the tan interior. blue, black, silver, red, gold, white all look best with black interior on our car.

White is good because 99% of CLs that I see are either silver or black!

Hey 1sicklex, what about those 2-tone pearl white/random color schemes those previous gen GS's had? I really liked some of those, even though alot of people aren't big fans of the 2-tone. Guess its a baller's ride
