Black or White?

Well im about to get an 07 WRX and I test drove a black one last Friday (loved it).
Unfortunately there wasnt any "Satin White Pearl" ones on the main lot and Im having trouble finding some good daytime shots of them. So if anybody knows where I can find some just to tie me over till I can go back to the dealer id appreciate
it.

Black new, looks awesome, back with a could years on it, scratch here, tiny dent there...not so much

White hides it's age well.

By the way, welcome to I-club.

Yeah black takes alot of work but it looks great if you can keep it up. White is def easier to keep up and looks clean all the time. Good luck.

The Satin White looks amazing at night, the it really brings out the body lines in low light. But it kinda has a pink/purple hue durring the day.

Well i finally got the satin white and then 5 days later I had a oil pump assembly failure of sorts :*(

Checked the car in to the dealership on a Thursday, got a call on Friday around 2'ish saying that they would have to keep it over the weekend till Monday afternoon. Ten seconds later I get a call telling me they were sorry and that I would have it back on Saturday. Three o clock on that same Friday hits and I get a call saying that its fixed, tested, the parts I ordered were even put on (high flow intake and heat shield) and there were just detailing it that very moment.....
Its good to deal with the sales manager I guess

White will always looks clean, but a really clean black will have that "WOW" factor that white just can't do.
