I was debating between white and silver but I decided that silver was for me. I'll leave the white to rental cars and the US Postal Service.

Wish I would have gotten white. When someone dings the door, at least on the TCM, the mark is white. I could care less about the bumpers (behind the paint is black).

How many xB owners are on this thread :D Well, although the tC is not RWD, I wonder if someone is planning to do a Panda "Trueno" look.

No one said if they liked Indgo Ink or not. I've never owned a car that wasn't white. Am I going to be in for a shock when I own my TC in Indgo Ink?

And this picture was taken on an overcast day. My MR2 can most definately shine.

White looks good on certian cars, and the TC has a uglt shape you cant compare the TC to the lines of the 300 or even the BMW3 both look nice in white the tc looks more like a old ladys car...not sporty looking at all

The light blue (azure pearl) is very BMW/VW'ish. Looks like a Euro sports car, or so I'm told

i agree.... white has an unique look for the tc. the black housing headlights and the tinted glass roof = godly contrast.

contrast is damn nice to look at.

i dont like white or black. white gets dirty quickly with sun spots, dirt etc. and black willl get the same results but more ashy. plus with black if you dont wash it for a very long time during the hot HOT summer, your paint will peel or the coating will crust off..

i heard red vehicles get into the most car accidents. it stands out the most.




silver, indigo ink, some other sort of blue colors, and red (still ok with me) are nice colors....

my tC is silver streak mica.. i like how it doesn't show the dirt like my last car.. black civic coupe.. one thing.. with silver, has anyone noticed that people (during the day) don't really see you in traffic? I've noticed people really don't seem to see that I'm there.. unless i have my headlights on during the day.. is silver THAT hard to see?

Hehehe. I personally love beige (gasp) and silver.
Black is higher maintenance than white. It shows scratches, swirls, and dirt much easier than black. My celica is white, my girlfriend's altima is black, and my tC is flint mica..

I can take my celica to the car wash and spray it off with the power washer, and it looks clean afterward. That doesn't work on my car or the altima... no such thing as a quick wash with darker color cars.

Silver is the most common color.. probably the only reason I didn't go with it. And Beige? My mom has a beige camry you might like

Also, white, silver and beige are the colors that oxidize the least and stay the coolest in hot weather.
