Default Can't Decide on Color.... HELP!

With me getting my xB soon, I still can't really decide on the Blue Onyx Pearl or the Camo... it seems the one's i've seen the camo doesn't shine n sparkle as much as the BOP or any of the pearl painted colors. anyone's opinion differ or have some great close up shots of there Camo to prove me wrong?

Is blue or green your favorite color? The Camo seems like a signature xB color, but the BOP is beautiful in the sun, especially if you like blue. I voted Camo, but you can get a BOP as long as you don't bring it to San Diego. I want to try to maintain a little bit of uniqueness.

That is true!!! I have seen a stock one that was clean looked good. I voted for BOP because I want that color and love blue!! I wish I saw more BOPs. But all I see are TCM!!!!! Hardly ever any SYs and I miss seeing HLs.

Tough choice. Go with BSP instead.

Definitely get the BOP. I saw the Camo twice at my dealership, both inside and out in the sun. Looked OK but not very metallic or clean. Then, they had a BOP on the showroom floor and that was it. BLUE is my all time fave color and I've had so many people comment on how cool it looks in bright sun or at night. It's a really saturated blue--you won't be disappointed.

Since I got mine 3 weeks ago, I've seen two Camos on the streets and I didn't even do a double-take or care that I didn't order it. So glad I got Blue Onyx Pearl!

the xB i test drive was a BSP and I love the black color but I already own a black car and I know how hard it is to keep clean looking. My Grand Am will get a 3 hour cleaning job and the next day looks dirty as hell. I am however looking into a custom color for the GA similar to BSP. I think I'm going with BOP though.. it is beautiful! Thanks all.

Dark colors require too much maintenance IMHO.

I got TCM because its so dusty where I live.

Between your two choices, I prefer the Camo.
