Blue is not as mean looking as Black but that's the only color that my wife will let me buy. i had to travel 60 miles to find the dealer that has this color and it's not that easy to find, atleast for 2005. You'll get a lot of look just because it's blue and not many you'll see. blue and Red seems rare.

Thank God my wife is still willing to rive Stick after dealing with my Integra (with lightweight Fly wheel and stage 3 clutch) pain in the but to drive.

Stick w/ Athens Blue! Although I've owned several black cars in the past, I still think Athens Blue is a nice color, second to Diamond Graphite .
Black cars are the sh*t when it's newly detailed, but like everyone else said, it gets the dirty pretty quick!

Athens Blue all the way! It's a more unique color than black and looks great on the G. I've had mine for over a month now and don't regret it one bit. I had Diamond Graphite previously, and like Athens Blue much better.

Athens blue is a harddd color, if you don't mind standing out get that. If you want to blend in more, go for black.

Honestly tho, my last car was black and I loved it after washing it...but then the next day I'd want to bash my head into the wall cuz it would get SOO dirty again, lol. Just like the other members, when I see a nice clean black car...i'm like damn I wish I got black...but then I think for a minute about all that maintenance, and I'm like no actually I'm cool.

Go for the Athens Blue. While black shines great and usually looks the most sinister, I think the details and some of the lines on the G get a little lost with black.

I'd also say it's too common and a little too obvious of a choice... ...but I've got an IP, so I'll hold the comment...

I had the same exact dilemma - and I went with the black. Nothing beats the G in black, IMHO. It is true that it makes you more neurotic about cleanings, but I find that after using Zaino, that even with a little dirt it still looks better than the blue. I find the blue to be too light. If they made the G in the Daytona Blue color available on the Z, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. However, Athens is more of a washed out color, without the indigo shade that gives the color it's zing. Obviously this is totally my personal opinion, but I find the black to be worth it, even when I'm going a little bit overboard keeping it clean...

My obviously biased answer...Athens Blue. Love black, but I'm also a big fan of blue cars...

See attached.
