What do you think is easiest to keep clean cause Im gonna be driving it through the winter, black is pretty much out of the question, it looks awesome but after one winter in MA it will probably never look the same.

As far as electric blue being a "smurf" ride, you're a retard. maybe the BBY was smurffy, but the electric blue is damn sexy. black is too hard to keep clean (last two cars have been black) and you can see webs the easiest.
It was between white and blue for me. gg is played out to the max. i see that color or a similar color on every make and model car on the road these days.

But i do agree about the black being hard to keep clean. My car is always garaged and I use my company vehicle and my crotch rocket during the week and somehow its always dirty by friday night just sitting in the garage lol
but it looks bit**en when clean

GG is nice, but if you want a JDM rear, then you have to repaint it since they dont come in GG... How come they dont have yellow IX's in the US? I think yellow actually looks alot nicer on IX's than VIII's

I had a tough choice of GG, White or EB. After seeing all the colors personally at SC when buying my car the GG took the cake. I didn't even look at EB for more than 3 seconds and I thought I was going to get EB after seeing them online. Anything with a pearl look makes the car look less "cheap econobox" looking imo... Don't have to maintain it enough too.. it's like in between silver and black... but it is getting quite common
Also my boss loves my new evo (she likes american and bmw cars) especially the color.

I had narrowed it down to either white or grey on my MR.
Went with white because I think it works better with all the trim and carbon fiber pieces (makes a nice contrast where the grey just seems to all blend together for me).
Also, it seemed like everyone and they're brother was getting grey, so I wanted to be a little different (although white is probably the 2nd most popular color on the MR... )
Truthfully, I've never seen another Evo on the road, and I've actually only seen two others in person: a used black '04 at a dealership and another '06 white MR at the auto show, so I don't profess to know how good the rest of the colors look in person.
All I can say is that a clean white MR = pure sex!

GG or White are the colors I was looking for on my IX. I ended up with the Grey cause the white was a PIA to find. I kind of wanted the grey more anyway, but the lack of available white ones cemented the deal.
It does kind seem like the GG gets played on the internet. Around here their are NONE!! 2 GG's belong to my brother and me and a 3rd guy has the other grey MR. Other than that (in this city) we have a white VIII MR, like 2 EB, 3 yellows, and like 4-5 silvers. So around here grey is the rare color.
I love the way the grey looks after a good wash and detail!!
