alright here's the problem.. Im a female who can't decide on what color to get the tc in... BUT i have narrowed it down to 3 colors. Silver Streak Mica,Flint Mica or Black Chery Pearl.. I just need some opinions from those of you who REALLY have these colors. Thanks for your help

 

Well I voted before I read the whole thing and I don't have FM. but I think that is the best of them all.

 

Super hard decision, I am a girl and I have the SSM and it is HOT everyone always compliments the color and it hides dirt surprisingly well, and well, it just looks sexy, the fm is what I originaly wanted so I voted for it, but damn if thats not a hard decision... SSM is way sexy though.

 

id go with the SSM. thats the color im gonna get

 

Any of the above is a good call.. just stay away from the Super Whites.. Yuk..

 

I love my SW

 

not that "resale" should be on your mind, but grays and silvers are the most popular colors today. sema put out a report on car colors in the u.s. -- right now, silver is the number 1 color by a wide margin. however, trends are towards pearl/metallic colors in gem hues. blue appears to be the up-and-coming color (witness some pretty stunning blues on the mini cooper, mazda6, etc), but "gem tones" in general are gaining in popularity.

so, today's "hot" color may look "dated" in a few years, as everyone will be sick of the color. something a bit less common may continue to look fresh.

on the flip side, ssm and fm are not "odd" colors so they will prolly always be in the top 5 colors. silver has always been thought of as a "classic" car color since it usually shows off the lines of the car and imparts a technical/mechanical feel. of your three choices, ssm will be the easiest to "rice" if you opt for the stickers/graphics look. bcp is the most "classy" or "luxurious" color. fm is very "executive."

i debated between these three colors (and iip) for my own tC. in the end, i pretty much took whatever color 5-speed i could get my hands on. turned out to be my first choice (bcp).

just some random thoughts based on the sema report that i read. :-)

 

Voted BCP for rarity. I think it's great to be different and plus, it's a great color.

 

Voted FM for obvious reasons. It's absolutely beautiful the way it sparkles in direct sunlight.

 

I think silver is the most bland color making it one of my least favorite. I have the FM and I love it but I also find the BCP to be interesting (even though I don't care for red).

 

Voted for FM beacuse that's what i got. SO glad i did..i mean i just love the color! by far the best one ever! It's actually a lexus color. Not sure if it's the same but i know if you go to the lexus web site and build a RX330 they have a FLINT MICA option for color. I said COOL!

 

Don't 4get that when you get BCP and you use the spare your car will look really fugly.

 

It was a hard decision for me too. It was a toss up between the BCP and the azure. For you I say BCP, there are less cars out there that look like that.

 

I did read the whole thing first but I still voted. IIP is my favorite (hence my choice) but if I couldn't have it, I'd have gone with BCP. it's got depth of color, if that makes any sense.
