Black vs White...I can't decide!!

threefiddy · 05-05-2009, 04:17 PM

Well statistically black cars get into more accidents than white cars. Me personally, I've been rear ended, t-boned in a black car. No problems on any other. However, there are more white cars than there are black cars. I'm pretty sure i dont have to tell u how hard it is to maintain black also

Yeah, but white gets more tickets... easier to pick up on the road. That being said the car looks awfully nice in Pearl White.

White still calls to me as much as black does!

White looks dope, u can make the top black (i think that looks cool, many disagree saying thats a benz thing). like u said.. black is sexy and white is classy. i'd go sexy or james bond (Platinum Graphite)
i can see that u like black more. but remember that wen u see scratches on ur car, black is easy to see them, u'll cry. lol sorry if i made it harder for u. but hey. either way, ur going to love it. U CANT LOSE.

Either color will look good with the right rims, some window tint.......and 10-12K worth of work under the hood.

try finding the car the has the options you want in either color. The decision will most likely be made for you. step up to the plate.

I just came back from dealership. I think im gonna go with white. When the dealer pulled the car out and I got a good look of the inside and outside, i was convinced. The white just looks so damn good with the frost interior. Does the frost interior age well? I've heard differently.

Glad to hear that you have pretty much made your decision, but I have to throw in another vote for black anyhow... Of course it is a biased vote, since I went with black. Some said it best regarding the two colors, the black is bad a$$, the white is classy... pick your poison.

Buy the car yet or what?

i had the same problem, but in the end i chose white for the following reasons:

- it looks as good, if not better, than black
- it's easier to maintain
- it ages better (high frequency washing necessary to keep black looking good will cause the paint to look somewhat dull over time)
- paint chips and blemishes are less visible
- the jdm stylish tail lights make the white Z look even more incredible than it already is, but on an other color they just look stupid imo
- white on white(frost) leather is the classiest s%@t around (although admittedly, the white leather will require more care)

plus, and this is merely an added bonus and didn't really factor into my decision, it's cooler in the summer!

hope this helps...

I also went for white because all the blacks i see. The dealer even says that black is the most popular with all the cars they sell. Even more so with the sports car. They just sold a black and are looking for blacks for other customers. They havent even sold one white yet. It looks sexy and isnt *** common. I like them both equally but white wins due to less popularity. The survey i took of my friends choices came out black 13 vs white 7...black won almost double. I am almost certain I made the right choice. Need I say that the white looks beautiful with that frost interior

I will get my car once they find the one i want..white on gray w/ sports & nav
