Watch your foot on the pedal - I had to get a radar detector to help myself know when to blend in with the rest of the traffic! This thing is not a muscle car, but it gets up and moves nicely.

I think all the colors look good, I've heard just about any black will be higher maintenance since they show imperfections much more easily. That said, the blacks I've seen at a meet sure did look sweet.

I REALLY like the red/black leather in my Titanium Grey - would definitely pick it again.
I appreciate your post. I don't have to worry about the radar thing too much. I get away with a little more even though I hardly speed. Do you know of anything that will hide the marks on the black 8. I also like the silver. I have yet to see a grey 8 up close so I have no opinion on it just yet

I love my blue. Gets attention everywhere. Just wait until you try to look nonchalant when people in the cars around you are pointing and talking about your car. I have a big ego & like the attention, but I actually get embarrassed by it at times. But the other posts are true. I thought I was just buying a car I thought was a great little sports car and within a week (or sooner) behind the wheel it became an obsession. I use any excuse to get out & drive it. I take the "long way" everywhere. I've washed & shined & polished this car more in 3 1/2 months than I did my last 2 cars in 6 years! My daughter's boyfriend gets jealous because I get more attention & comments than he does in his new Vette. I'm still amazed. Enjoy it!

Mine's silver with an all black, leather interior. It's probably the easiest colour to keep looking clean but the most difficult to get the really deep shine that the car deserves. Silver is also rather more conservative (probably) than the other colours. The other half preferred the titanium gray.

I think it's now a tossup between silver and black. I want the blue but I want the 2 tone red/black int.

The black and red leather best suited for the black car more than silver...

That is why I go for the black...

If there was white car last year, it will be a very hard choice.
