.... I maintain that black is easily cleaned with dimenaralised water. Only takes me two or three minutes and 3 € to wash my black GT and it's all shiny after, with no water marks. And muck doesn't stand out as much on black (dust, earth, polution, moskitos, ...). The big problem is when using mineral/tap water (leaves watermarks), so just use dimenaralisd water and it's a quick/easy/cheap/safe job....


however, this been said, I think red's my favourite. I find these sporty coupes are really meant to be red. I only took black because it stands better over time than red or white (reds really need to be HIGH quality paint job, with 2/3 layers of paint AND clear coat to hope to have them last as long as metal black).


White is cool too, but as I park all over town and supermarkets I don't want minor touchup jobs to become a major issue (whiteout paint matching issue).


Never seen the other colours (did I ever mention that I've never in fact seen a GT86 on the road exept mine.... no one has them around here, no one has a clue of what it his or how much it costs....)

I like my textured gunmetal wheels w/ silver. A lighter shade than the stock wheels and matte finish. I'm really not planning too many other things, simple lines are appealing.
