argento is looking really good to me these days...
 
i'm having trouble dediding what color i want!

i've narrowed it down to white out, asphalt, or argento.

i THINK that is my order of preference. but the more i see argento the more i like it. it seems to show off the lines of the car really well. but i love the pearl in the white, and love the metalic in the asphalt.

it's a tough choice!

That it does, I love my Argento.

Hey man,

I had a very similar dilemma. Did you check out any of these colors in person?

The only three colors I've seen in person happen to be the ones you've listed there.

You're right, the Argento shows off the lines really well. However, the pear white also does this... and compliments the design and the shape of the car slightly better than the Argento. However, the pear white lacks the shine and classiness of the Argento. (Don't get me wrong though, the pearl white still looks classy... but I just think the Argento shine one ups the pearl white there)

The Asphalt is like a totally different car. The lines are not shown as much, and the design doesnt display well in pictures. This is definitely one of the cars that you MUST see in person. After taking a picture of this and comparing it with the real car, it was like I was looking at two different cars. The design is shown off a lot more in person. For some reason this car LOOKS smaller than the Argento . (I remember overhearing a dealer commenting on how the Argento looks bigger than the Asphalt to another customer too.. so it's not just my opinion alone) The Asphalt looks "dangerous". When I sat in the Asphalt and test-drove it, it almost felt like this car should be bought only in Asphalt. But I could be wrong here... cause I didn't test drive any of the other colors.

I ended up picking the Argento :P

My dilemma was between the Argento, Firestorm and Asphalt. I didn't get to see the Firestorm in person :( . But I saw the white-out in person just 2 days ago and I was surprised at how well the design of the car was shown off.

I would recommend going with the Argento, it seems to have a mix between what the White-out offers and the what the Asphalt offers :)

Asphalt or White-out would be a tough choice for me. Argento wouldn't get a second look, I'm not a fan of silver.

Asphalt!

dvlnsyde 07-11-2012 11:38 AM

Love my Argento! My next choice would have been Whiteout.

The only two colors I have seen in person are the blue I test drove about 5 weeks ago and my argento. I'm not a great fan of silver as well, but it stays cleaner and imo looks great on the FR-S.
BTW the only other FR-S I've seen on the road was also argento, seems popular.....

thanks for the feedback, the only one i've seen up close was the white out (took it for a test drive) and it looked great! it was sunny and it really made the pearl look good. i drove past a silver brz quickly, and it really did look good on this car. the asphalt i've only seen in pictures, but it reminds me of the dark grey on the lancer evo's that i really liked. it also seems to have a nice effect when the sun hits it.

Exact color choices i was picking between, except my order of preference was whiteout, argento, asphalt. Saw the argento in person and it instantly grew on me, so thats where i am today.

I hate silver colored cars too but argento is hands down the best if you wanna show off those sexy body lines.

hankster 07-11-2012 07:13 PM

I originally wanted firestorm, but when I saw one up close I was not so impressed. I then wanted whiteout and was waiting for one to come in. Before it came in I found another dealer with an argento, went to see it and it was love at first sight. Very happy with my argento

Wigmasterflex 07-11-2012 07:20 PM

Love my argento! Looks amazing. Gets a lot of attention up close but not too much while cruising down the roads if u get my drift

argento>whiteout> asphalt

I was unsure of my choice until I actually saw it irl- so imo the argento looks a lot better irl than in pictures.
I didn't want white because it's the most popular colour (and rightly so, but I wanted mine to be a little different) and I'm quite lazy, so silver for me is a lot easier to maintain.
