I battled over color today when I was putting my deposit down. My first choice originally was the Galaxy (the dark) gray... but seeing dirty ones in the dealer's inventory made me realize that all winter long I could end up annoyed. The lighter silvers were okay, but kind of blah to me. The Ice (light) blue was very nice, and MUCH better in person and it ended up being a toss up between that and white.
The ice blue looked just a little too "feminine" to me... the white looked "meaner" but still classy.
And interestingly enough, getting the dark or ice blue in my area, with tech package and front-wheel drive proved impossible. Would have been a 2-3 month wait for either. I'm patient but not that patient.
My mom has a white car and she swears it's been the easiest to keep clean out of all cars she's owned. They get blackish streaks from rain and such, but nothing a quick wipe with a soft rag won't get rid of (when you can't wash it). It won't show salt in the winter and pollen dust in the spring. And I love how the white really highlights all the black detailing of the car.
So white with black leather interior is what I got!

-- I wavered between blues for a while, but when they told me 2-3 months wait, well I went back to white. Funny enough, even though Gallaxy Gray was what I wanted originally, white is what made me stop and look. The car they had in the showroom (black cherry) didn't catch my eye, but the white made me stop and say "hey, what is THAT??" (in a good way, LOL)
