Metro Grey or Crystal White Pearl?

[Kid1903]

def would have to say the white...when fully tinted, i think it would look bad ass

Saw them both in person today... holy crap! to both. They look soooooo much better in person than any picture i've seen. With that said here is one picture of each.

I like them both equally, but for totally opposite reasons. For example, the white screams 'look at me'.... the grey is a sleeper. The white looks tougher... the grey appears more grocery getter. The body lines on the white appear sharp and contrasting... the grey appear relaxed and more subdued.
Again... I'm not knocking either one. I love them both... I just need a little help deciding.

Opinions please....?

The only thing I have decided is that they both need tint all the way around.

White!

I vote white.

Gray is...it's just too middling. I really wish Mazda would have put out a brilliant blue for this car. Even my True Red is sorta 'tomato-ey'.

For all you metro Grey owners, if you look really closely you can actually see the blue metal flake in the paint, I was dead set on red until i saw the grey and i love it, recevied many compliments on the color so far and i only had it for a week and a half.(yippy)

Cwp!!!!!

Metro Gray all the way! Gives it a sophisticated look WAYYY beyond its price and seems to reflect the mood of the sky.

But, I may be biased...

I agree with all of these arguments 100%. That's what is making it so difficult. Well, I'm putting my money down on one of them tomorrow and I guess I might know which one I want by then. I think I need one more look at em...

I did do a (best out of 5) heads or tails thing to attempt to assist in the decision... cause I'm an idiot... but anyways the CWP won 9 out of the 10 rounds. Kinda shocking odds I thought.

Do ya leave a choice like this to chance?

yea for me it came down to the goodies inside, the white would have been an extra couple G's cause it had the nav system, etc so i got the grey GT. kinda wished the dealer had black, but i got my MS3 at-cost so i cant complain : )

I'm going to the dealer to order a white one tomorrow. you know my vote!

You're not sure?
Easy way to tell is the trim around the power window controls. If it's black it's an 08.5, silver it's an 08.
The seats are different too... as are the needles on the speedo, tach, fuel, and temp. 08.5's are white needles.

Mine must be an 08.5 - it has white needles and black plastic. but on the sticker it says o8. and the door jam reads 08.

It's gorgeous!! THE reason I got one now, period.

It is so weird seeing pictures of pure stock ms3s rather than ones with moldings removed, i tend to forget that they come with side moldings on. Both look great, i'd go with white

what's with the gas tank door on the white one?(boom07)(uhm)(scratch)

Its one of the least wanted options on any car ever

Yeah - I'm still toying with the idea of removing the molding. Gets in the way of the wax flow.... also toying with the idea of de-badging it, but also trying to think of a way to girl-i-fy it without getting too over the top with pink flames, etc. But that's another topic all together. Tint should be happening in the next couple of weeks (35% all the way around). So it won't be stock for too much longer!

Sorry for the threadjack.
