i would get the torched penny, i have the BOP and it still holds its shine, i have NEVER washed it with soap and water yet. i only use the spray wash stuff, spray on wipe off. it still has the sparkly shine it had when i first bought it.

But seriously, good luck with your search. You'll love the xtraordinary Box!

Anyways, If I had a choice right now, it would be the Torched Penny because they are the last of the 1st Gen xB's.

(Can you tell that I own the xB in salsa red?)

x3 for the salsa red. I have the white and i have to wash it every other day for it to stay looking clean, whereas the salsa red seems to stay looking clean much longer. Plus, if you're into decorating your box, most everything out there goes well with it.

On a different note...Silver and White cars always stay cleaner "looking" than dark colors. Mostly because road dirt is a lighter color. If I drive my BCP 3-4 miles is will show the dust already. Whereas my white van can drive for a few days and even in the rain and still look clean.

I would think that the SRP would be a decent choice then. Not too dark.
We stopped by the local dealer and looked at the RS4 again. I still don't know.... and it sucks. I had my mind made up to get the auto too, and the RS4 we looked into had the stick, which got my mind going again. The shift **** is mesmerizing.
2 more days.

You really can't go wrong with the SRP. The sticks are needing clutch replacements at or around 40K. The money you save by NOT getting an RS4.0 can go towards nice wheels and or other mods. Plus your payments will be lower and if the need ever arises for paint repairs that will be less $'s also.
Good luck and let us know what you do decide Bro!

I would go bop followed by the salsa. If you want some color go with the salsa. The blue is a lot darker than I thought it would be but very pretty in the sun (when clean). I got mine last week and my salesman searched the whole west coast and none were available in an automatic. I got the tcm and am quite happy with it. That was like my fourth choice but after having it a few days I really like the color. Good luck on your search!

SRP all the way. It was only in production for six months or so. I think it may hold it's value a little more because of the rarity in the future. besides it's by far the best looking color available, but don't tell my wife I said that. She has the BOP.
