Default Which color tC is getting overrated?

It seems like everyone is getting the Flint Mica. Shrugs. I really like the Super White. But Im stuck with the Flint Mica, but hey...I'm not complaining. :D


10:23 pm -- BIG UPDATE. I am so lucky, guess what just happened. I just wanted to randomly visit the dealership. There happened to be a Super White for sale. Someone had ordered it, but I guess the wait was so long that they went ahead and bought an '05 Altima.. ... haha just kidding that car ain't all that bad. But yeah so I just had to have the Super White. And I got it. :D So goodbye Flint Mica, you were great but so many people have you. Haha, Im talking as if my car would read this .

Very few people like the color I want: Azure Pearl, hell my girlfriend said it was a rather girly color. Oh well, it's my car, not hers... when it arrives anyhow.

I have the Flint Mica but all the colors are pretty awesome. Most cars have colors whereas at least one color is not that good but the tC doesn't meet that criteria.

Diffently seems like most are getting Flint Mica.

I have to say I like all the colors, I like the color my girlfriend ordered the most Black Cherry Pearl. Just because of all the show cars I saw growing up that were BCP.

hand shake here. i love the azu pearl. it looks great and very upscale to me. but i end up got an IIP just because i can't wait...... and IIP looks great, but not very outstanding, that avoid me a lot of trouble scin i am going to park the car on street.

I think the Flint Mica is overrated, but maybe the silver or white moreso. I think the light colors make the car look cheaper (although the Azure Pearl is very nice, if a bit girly for my tastes.) My fave is still the Black Cherry Pearl, with Indigo Ink Pearl a close second.

That's my favorite color. Wasn't really sure about it before I saw it in person but after that I fell in love so I bought it.

You think I made a mistake for swapping the cars? Flint Mica to Super White? Well they were both my favorite.

I want Azure Pearl also.

See, I wanted the Indigo Ink but I live in an extremely hot desert. Dark colors aren't the best. Also, because of all the constant construction in the valley, dust collects pretty fast.

So I'll settle with a lighter color of blue.

i had a choice to get the silver or azure pearl but i chose silver. I think azure pearl looks cool now but seems like the type of color that will get old. And with silver i feel it is the kind of color that will stay with you and will grow with you and besides it matches the interior and looks nice in chrome rims :D

First I wanted to get silver (easy care), then I saw so many pictures of silver, so decided to get IIP (I owned an IIP Matrix b4 tC), then looked at the black roof and thought it would be cool to have it match the rest of the car. So that's what I have - black as night tC.

I really cant decide what color to get, first I wanted either flint mica or azure pearl, But after hearing all the people buying flint mica im not really sure. I have a black cherry pearl Xb and thought if I had two cars the same color that would be dumb right? Evan though I do like that color. Does anybody have black sand and how does it look, I've never owend a black car before and everybody tells me its so hard to take care of.Now I have had white and silver cars before I hated the silver one and the white car is nice to take care of but the roof on the tC might make it look funny, I dunno. Any feedback would be great. :D

Black is not really a "youngster/teen" color - it makes the tC look more refined, more serious. And that's exactly what I was trying to accomplish. Taking care of it is a witch. But I'm kinda used to darker colors after IIP...

Took it off last night, waxed up the spot this morning. I was too excited when I found out that they had the car I've been hunting for for 3 weeks, that I completely forgot to tell them to keep their sti[n]kers.
