Need help with car color
I'll be getting a new car in May and I am still undecided about the color...what's your vote???
P.S. I'm kinda leaning towards black, BUT, the truck I have now is black...maybe I should switch it up a bit?? Image Attachment(s):

Pewter!!! It is the best color to hide when the car is dirty & even if you get scratches!!!

Re: Need help with car color
I have to vote Pewter. My first new car was black and a total nightmare to keep clean. I had a silver car similar to choice three and it was nice and easy to keep clean but I like your pewter choice.

Re: Need help with car color
Pewter, definitely!
That or silver.
I'm not a fan of black cars though.

Re: Need help with car color
My DH and I both have black cars.
He swears it is the only color he will ever have.
I on the other hand...am tired of it. While when its freshly cleaned it is very nice and sleek..the second any dust or dried water/rain gets on it...it looks filthy automatically.
I prefer the pewter/silver. I think they are still very classy..but don't show dirt as much as black. I voted for pewter...but the silver is nice too.
Good luck!

Re: Need help with car color
I just had 2 silver cars & I hated them. I honestly believe that they blend with the asphalt or something b/c in a big hunking Dodge Pick Up people used to almost drive into me all the time on the parkway
I like black anyway, it is very elegant IMO.

Re: Need help with car color
I have yet to see a car that looks bad in black.
It's a HOT color.
I'd say go for it.
A b*tch to keep clean- but sooo worth it!

Re: Need help with car color
Here's my thinking......
Everyone on the road with a Mercedes seems to be silver. You should stand out in the crowd. Plus I personally don't like silver cars. So nay on the silver.
You said you already have a black car, plus black cars are super hard to keep clean. So nay on black.
YAY for pewter because it's a great color and easy to keep clean.
BEAUTIFUL car by the way no matter which color you choose!!

Re: Need help with car color
Black looks 100x better than practically any other color out there.
Silver = blah
Pewter = ugly

Yes, he's still there...3 years coming up. The R has a new model coming out next year, and I liked the 550 better also.
Honestly, I don't LOVE this car...very soccer mom-ish...but with 3 kids and their friends, I Need the room!

Re: Need help with car color
I'm biased.... DH and I only like black cars
(I should add that our cars don't look especially dirty, despite them not getting cleaned in the last couple months  )

I know I LOVED the R550 was thinking of getting one off auction but figured I would wait to see what new R comes out. the 350 is still really nice though.
all the colors are nice too, but there is something about that pewter its like gun metal very sharp and different!!!Best of luck!!!!
