What colour?

the times coming closer and closer, and i know that this is really a personal preference, but i need some opinions.

i found a really good deal on an 06 BB and the guy is keeping it until the time im going to be buying so hes an option if everything is well with the car.

ive always been a fan of VR though, always catches my eye. I find that BB is sharp, i love the colour but a little plain? To be honest i really don't care about the colour i think the 8 looks amazing every colour...

Help me out guys!

That's a like asking whether you should date a blonde or a brunette. Or a girl with big ***** or small *****. (OK maybe that's not such a good example). Whatever trips your trigger, man.

I was obsessed with trying to find a Phamtom Blue Mica for a long while, until I woke up and realised it would make way more sence to get a car irrelevant on color but was physically and mechanically perfect. Depends on what you're looking for.

Funny, when I was shopping around for my Xterra, I wanted any color but yellow. I liked how it looked, but figured it would stand out too much. When I was shopping, I wanted Supercharged 5-Speed, which there was only 3 for sale in Ontario. Guess which color I got...lol

I used to have a VR and liked it, but felt it was like a big neon sign saying
'Hey cop...point your radar gun over here'

Black gets dirty too easy, and if you get a two tone interior, the orangey inserts are kind of ugly IMO. I have a VR with red interior and love it. Last car was a black tiburon, and swore I'd never buy a black car again.

My current 8 is SBM...just as bad as black. I went in to the dealership and asked, 'How do I turn off the dust-magnet?'.....The service manager said "It's that switch by your right foot....just push it harder!'

As mentioned above, black looks great when the clear coat is in great shape and the car is clean.

I really like the Copper Red Mica on my car, but it's surprising, there's something about the colour which really shows water marks. I don't want to have to obsess over something so hard to control.

Black doesn't get dirtier 'faster' then any other color, it's just more noticeable
I agree, the orange / tan interior is hideous.
The Red / Black interior is sexy!

why not get a BB WITH the red / black interior? Best of both worlds...

At first i wanted a BB with two tone red interior but sadly BB Canadian 8s dont come with red interior only black or the nasty orange crap (no offense to any who has that). This is why when i was shopping for my 8 i was really set on importing one from the states that way i get the red interior and no headlight washers !!! But the whole process was overwhemling so i bought one in canada LOL oh well i love my all black interior
