Default Which color to get...

I narrowed down the colors to...

Polar White - It's white. Dirt will really show compared to other colors. Future upgrades will probably make it a Panda-fied...Without the carbon fiber hood, I think it might feel a little cheap and generic =\

Phantom Gray Pearl - This is dark gray. Dirt will be hidden by the color. I'm afraid of paint chips. (They have one on the lot ready for me)

I know it's really up to me, but I was curious what others had and what their opinions are of these two colors...

i own a poolar whit xb and i like the color alot. but on the xA i dunno. it kind looks echoish. Unless, as you mentioned. you do stuff to it. then it has great potential as a color. but out of the box pgp is better looking.

if i might ask why not silver streak mica? or indigo ink? to me those are the two best xA colors. yet we dont see many of those owners on here and doing stuff. oh well maybee im alone on that one.

good luck on the process!

Yeah, I was looking at the Silver Mica as well, but I find it to be a little flashy. Didn't James Dean die because the truck driver who collided with him didn't see his car because it reflected the sun into his eyes? =P

Ugh.. I feel so indecisive. I mean, it's normal right? Since it'll be the car I buy.

lol... *looks at LVXB's avatar..* I almost bought a Vespa Gran Turismo in the same color as the Phantom Gray Pearl... FLCL... Vespa girl... taro...kun.

i wouldn't say silver streak is flashy its clean and it brings out the lines of the car very well.

Actually white shows little dirt, it is one of the best colors if you don't wash your car much.

Never let someone else pick your color, unless you want to blame your choice on someone else if you decide you don't like it!!

White is good, but the phantom grey just gives it a more classy look. Especially with the xA's shape. Kindof Corolla/Camry like

My friend said the same thing, but in a derogatory way...

Even though the votes show that PGP was voted for the most...I think I might pick Polar White or Silver Streak Mica now.. lol

I want to Panda-fy my xA...

I like white over the dark gray. The silver is nice too - specially at dusk when it catches twilight.

How do you vote? I think the white looks like candy. It's the most edible color there is.

mmmm...
