Default Which color should I choose?

I've pretty much all but decided that I'm going to get an xB, so I'll have it within a week or two hopefully. I'll have to get it from another lot since I want a specific color and in manual transmission. At first was I going to get the xA, but the xB is just something that stands out in the crowd. I don't think I've ever seen one in my area, so all the more reason to get one. Then again, I've never really seen any Scions around here in the first place. I guess it helps that the closest dealership is like half an hour + away.

Anyway, help me choose a color for my xB. I live in West Virginia, so the dirt does get pretty bad, so that's why I am worried about getting another black car. I loved my Toyota Matrix in Black Sand Pearl, but it was pretty hard to keep clean. I did really enjoy the color, though.

Vote and/or respond. I'll appreciate it very much.

Well, this has been a big discussion on this site for a while... I say go with white, it stays the cleanest. I too have had dark colors in the past, and its too much maintenance IMO.
TCM is a nice color, but it seems like most people get that color... Honestly, all the colors look nice, it come down to:
1. Maintenance of keeping it clean.
2. How popular that color is in your area.
3. If all else fails, go with your gut!! :D

Good luck, Im sure you will get a good mix of opinions.

I also went from a black car (Golf) to an xB, and wanted a color that looks ok when it's dirty. TCM is the most obvious choice, but I just don't like it. I got camo, because it looks "comfortable" when dirty, unlike say BCP or BOP which I think would just look like a dirty car.

I'd push for the Polar White: Easiest upkeep finish, less load on A/C in summer, safer (easier to see at night/in rain/in fog), and the 'crisp' color matches the 'crisp' lines of the box.

My second choice would be the camo because it looks nice, but it fails most of the above things...

(Yes, I drive a PW xB.)
