Ivory Pearl with Stone interior is very nice and classy... Athens Blue with black interior is more sporty looking... what are you looking for?

i voted Ivory Pearl

For those with IP, how hard is it to keep clean? I have a black car now, it cant be worse than that, can it? I'm not too worried about keeping it clean, I would wash my black car 10X a week if it wasnt for all of the nasty swirl marks it gets. I would love to be able to take my car to the carwash when it gets dirty, and I am too lazy to wash it, but it would be swirl mark city if I went through a car wash, even once.

Go with what is RARE in your area. You be the one that sticks out while the other common colors are in your shadow. I've had my G for almost two years in LR and haven't seen one around the area except once a few months ago...it's nice to have to only color around. I stick out like a sore thumb...lol...it's a cop magnet but they don't bother me...

I can't tell you how many times G owners have told me they wish they had purchased an Athens Blue G after seeing mine. Whenever I get a compliment on my car, it inevitably includes a compliment about how beautiful the color is.

And it is rare. Although IP is rare here in the Northeast as well.

I'm biased to AB because I have one. Wanted to get a different color. True about the tickets, I got 3 within the last 2 months (2 fix-it and 1 for seat belt) Also got the dark interior.

IP.

I have IP and over the 3 years I have owned it, I have not grown tired of it....I usually get sick of a color but the white still makes me grin each time I walk up to the car.

Yeah, it does show some dirt......most of the dirt is the black vaporized tire rubber that collects on the rear bumper or brake dust that sticks behind the wheel wells....but it is not hard at all to keep clean or to remove this stuff if you keep a good coat of wax on it and use a Car Duster to remove the dust/dirt/pollen in between thorough washes.

Yea, thats another thing, I could actually use my california duster on an IP coupe. On my black coupe the duster just adds to the swirl marks!!!!

I have ip coupe, and yes it's annoying to clean it, but still imho the best color. We all have our favorites I know, and it's a biased opinion but obvious the poll shows it. The ip with a stone interior, the color combo I have is very nice, and looks sporty. I never get bored of the car or the color, and the ip/ stone is apparently hard to come by.
