    I need your opinions...

    I'm getting a new company car and I'm having trouble deciding on the color.

    http://www.saturn.com/saturn/vehicle...cles/index.jsp

    Click on the Outlook, then click the link for the color preview. My choices are Midnight Blue, Cocoa, Silver Pearl, Ocean Mist, & Gold Mist. I really liked the red (obviously), but it's not available on our program. Let me know what you think...

    If you're going to have to wash it, I'd stay away from the darker colors.

    The silver looks pretty good to me.

    Re: I need your opinions...

    The crappy part is that I tend to like the silver or gunmetal type colors on cars, but those are all trendy right now so freakin' everybody is buying cars those colors.
    ... that's not food.

    Company car? Who cares-spray paint it after you get it anyhow.

    yeah, I'd pick the blue because so many people have silver cars and SUVs

    I'm with P.G., pick the blue. Everyone does have silver and why not be original in your company car? Who cares if it shows dirt? It's not your car....

    I'm telling you-don't worry about what color it is from the factory. A couple of cans of Krylon will spruce whatever it is right up.

    Re: I need your opinions...

    THEY MAKE KRYLON IN BOTH COLORS!

    Tell you what, just spray paint "F-U Aggie Prick!" on it. When your boss sees it, it's a win win. If he's not an Aggie, he'll think it's funny. If he IS an Aggie, he's been insulted. WIN-WIN!

    No joke... and our corporate office is in Lincoln with all the board and most of the corporate employees being big time Huskers. Apparently it's some issue with the lease company we're going through b/c they're claiming red cars don't hold their value as well. They said they turn pink or something after time (which is insane).

    The one reason I don't want silver is b/c my wife has a silver 4Runner. Strangely enough, I kind of liked the cocoa. At first I didn't, but I think it's growing on me, although now I'm going to have to give blue some serious consideration after the response. I'm actually pretty surprises by the Blue votes. I figured that would get a goose egg...

    Keep it going folks. I like input. Your vote could determine the next three years of my driving future.

    I get $15 a month car wash expense, so that isn't too big of a deal. Would the blue show dirt that bad?

    Re: I need your opinions...

    Any dark color is going to show dirt worse than a lighter color. White actually hides dirt the best. Go figure.

    The cocoa with a tan interior would look pretty damn sharp.

    I actually think silver and tan hide dirt best. White shows dust and water spots very easily. (my dad has had a lot of white cars...)
