How much time are you willing to spend keeping your car looking sharp and clean?

Here's a downside to white that most people don't realize until they own one or have looked at them for a while - anytime a seam between two body pieces doesn't line up perfectly (such as a thin gap between the pieces) it is exaggerated by white because the gap is black. Also anytime you need to repaint a piece, white is the hardest color to match properly. Even brand new white cars often look like the paint doesn't quite match right from certain angles between a plastic bumper piece and a metal body panel. Very tricky color, but certainly sexy.
Keep an eye out for those two things (gaps and paint matching) when you look at pics of white cars. Gaps in any pics, paint matching especially in direct sunlight.

If your buying, black because it will keep its value more than white
Anyhow, white is definitely a nice color but I chose black for the reasons that have been mentioned already. When it's clean in the daytime, it's freaking nice. At night, it's just ........ can't find words to describe it .

This is Very Very True... Especially when your working with pearl in the paint...

I just ordered my fully loaded IP x sedan two days ago. I went through about a month of back and forth between IP and black. My conclusions... 1. Black looks much better in pictures. 2. IP has a certain class to it (and since I got a sedan its a different body style, less sports car looking). 3. I plan on keeping the car for a very long time and I have seen some black G's with horrible swirl marks all over it. (most likely owner neglect).
So even though my Lexus RX300 coach is also pearl white.. i figured wth and went with IP anyway.
The black coupes look better than the black sedans, but I think the IP sedan is better than the IP coupe.. IMO
Either way.. you win
