Default Amos and Andy or Martin and Lewis?

Should I get a black or white xB?

p.s. Who knows where the subject title from? First one gets a cookie.

By the time that cookie gets from California to Florida it will be stale; sorry Usfbull19.

The best color for just about any car is black, but you need to detail it every day to keep it looking great.
Also, with the heat in sunny southern California, the white will stay much cooler inside.

each color has pros and cons

Black-More shine, More swirls visible

White-Less shine, almost no swirls even against the sun

I was soo close to getting the black one. How close you may ask? I was gonna sign on the dotted line which sealed the deal, but there was a white one parked right behind the black one I was gonna get. I had to take a second look and made the choice of getting a white one. No regrets at all

White, the black is sooo hard to keep clean all the time, and its almost impossible not to get swirl marks. This is the last black car I will buy. I wish it was white now.

I would vote black. Yeah it shows all, but worth it. For the few swirls I have, im buying a porter cable buffer and give it a huge detailing come spring. Clay bar, paint cleaner, polish, wax... Should look amazing! My car hasnt been clean since like, october, haha.

Stupid snow...

I love black but you see EVERYTHING!!!! I bought my wife a black Yaris and I see every d-bag who let their door hit. But black is so gangster. But white is clean. I have a week to make up my mind. Trying to talk her into trading her car in for a XD.

I too, had my heart set on black. The next day when I went back to the dealer to finalize, it had rained. No black for me......it looked filthy.
Well, right next to the Black one was a SILVER.....

The rest as they say, is history. I love it.
