WHAT? Black absorbs much more light and therefore HEAT than white mate. As for gas mileage what's your theory on that then haha.

I drive a Black 8. But my personal favorite would be a white 8 with some black wheels. You just cant beat the sexy look of it. I love my black 8, but it just doesn't show the sexy curves of the car like the white one does.

black is a PITA to keep clean. White is the new "in" colour.

In my opinion black and white are the two best colors for this car... But if I could do it over again I would definetly buy a black 8 for sure..

basically everything besides upkeep is the same. Unless you are or know a good detailer get it in white. heck i am a detailer and i still have a white one lol.

that being i said i will say that theres nothing, absolutely NOTHING like a black car when its swirless. but that will only be 5-10 washes after the detail. lol i probably didnt help at all now did it

I have had both white & black cars. IMO, The black one was beautiful as long as it was clean... and after a while, unless you are waxing it every six months it quickly looks dull. As for the white car... again, it will show any rad dirt that gets kicked up. I noticed that you live in NY, and with all of the road salt out there, believe me it will show. But if you really having this much trouble... buy one of each.

Wow. I appreciate the help... but its not working. I want both now lol. Rotary Rockets actually gave me a good idea though. Get a white one and do black accents to it, I'd probably do side skirts to and front and back bumper though. Or two tone it... hmm.

More food for thought please, and thanks to all those who have helped thus far.

Do you like washing your car? Serious question. As already mentioned several times, black is high maintenance. But the day or two you get to enjoy it, there is not a better color! Something else to consider, Mazda uses what appears to be white primer so rock chips really show up on black.
