New '11 STI HB - Black vs. Grey

Having trouble deciding between the black Hatchback and the dark grey. The black looks amazing when it's clean. Problem is that it seems tough to keep a black car clean. Also, since both cars come with the darker BBS wheels, I can't figure out if they look better on the black or grey. Ugh!

I'm sure they both look great. I'd probably go with black because IMO grey is more of a luxury color. I like the "pure" colors: White, black, red, WRB.

When I buy another Subie it's going to be Aspen White, which I don't think they offer that color for the 2011s

Probably can't go wrong either way. I've read some things about Subies not having the "best" paint quality but not sure what that really means. Thanks everyone for the replies.

Deff go with the Gunmetal! My wrx was black and though i had it washed every couple of days, it always seemed to look dirty
The grey doesnt show dirt and streaks as much.. and is still a kick *** color.. Congrats on advance on the 2011 sti, your gonna love it! I love mine I got the sedan tho.
