Default Black Sand or Super White?

I cant decide on what to get! Im goin for a test drive tomorrow. But when I go to order, I dunno what color between black sand or super white to choose. Any of you guys with either color with some good things to say about each? Why you like it better? etc....please help a fellow tC [future] owner!

Consensus says: Most popular color for the tC
If I had to choose between black and white...I would go with the BSP.
Tint the windows and it looks mean!!

I saw it somewhere on this site but cant find it even with searching, but I saw a really dark tinted super white with an 'above angle' kind of shot, wow it looks GREAT. the black from the tint just flows from windshield to the rear hatch and it was one of the nicest tC's I've seen. (I own a flint mica) But yea those are my 3 favorite colors (FM, BSP, and the white) Go with what you like the best, they are both great colors imo.

i had the exact same problem when i ordered my tc, i ended up getting the bsp. They are both great colors, but i think the black is alittle more sexy, i dont usually like white cars at all, but the superwhite with all black top is so sexy!!! but i would never trade my black in for a white, i love it so much, but i just wish it was a deeper black, in the sunlight it looks like a dark flint mica, but you really cant ask people on the forums what they think, its ur own personal preference, but get the black one jk :D

BSP all the way.

I originally ordered Flint Mica, but after I saw a BSP, I swapped.

Washed, Polished & Waxed, the BSP destroys them all.

Yo cuh, i'd go with the black sand pearl- that's what i'm getting. Girls think it's sexy and slick plus it's a really nice color suitable for all occassions.

Well it's not like it's a wallet or a watch. You don't need to match your car for a dinner party. I do agree 100% that black is sexy as hell but my last car was black and it was fun keeping it clean and washing it 1-2 times a week. However after a year or so of that it got tiring and time consuming. Not only that but since I live in AZ during the summer it would get to be a chore to drive because it got so damn hot inside the car after it sat outside for a couple minutes. Choose your color wisely and think about it in the long term. Are you really going to want to wash it 1-2 times a week? Can you deal with the spider webbing and scratches sticking out like a sore thumb? I realized I couldn't so I compromised a little sexiest for some convenience and got a flint mica.[/b]

hmm. man its sooo hard! thank you all for your suggestions and tips. haha. to sublime: Ill prolly wind up babyin this car since itll be my first brand new one. So the washin part wont be a problem. But what made me really want a white one was the guy with the staggered 19 inch rims. That is sick as hell! But black is so bold. I want to see a flint mica in person. I cannot tell what color is really is based on from all the pics Ive seen. It looks green one minute, then dark blue-gray another.
