Ultramarine. After seeing one at the auto show over the weekend, that was confirmed. I was worried, because I normally like pearl white if it's offered, but seeing whiteout next to ultramarine I definitely know now I made the right choice when I ordered my car last year. I just love how many different shades of blue it can be depending on the lighting...from a deep, dark navy to a bright shiny metallic blue.

My dealer had red, blue, white and orange on the lot. It was a hard choice between the white and orange. I liked the orange most, but I think the red trim looks better with the white (or any other color for that matter).

I chose the orange because it was delivered that day, while the white was being use/abused for test drives. They had me take it up to 7000 rpms on the highway, so I figured I'd rather break the orange in myself.

I have a firestorm. I would have bought white if it weren't for pearl which I really dislike. My favorite color would have been the Baboon butt red as shown on the original prototype.

I like whiteout (bought one) and firestorm. Argento has started to grow on me more as well.

white has tons of pearl which shows the body lines. very classy/grown up as well. i turned down asphault and ultramarine cars that dealerships offered me for this reason.

i love the red, but i am planning on a move to phoenix and typically red tends to fade before other colors (like my milano red intregra in high school).

ultramarine looks great with sunlight, but i live in the seattle area so sun isnt a frequent occurance. navy = boring in my eyes.

asphault was another top contender, but the darkness of it may show residual dirt after a drive in rainy weather.

raven = no. last car was black. never again. cant even see the body lines.

argento seemed kind of boring. it shows body lines and may be easier to keep clean.. but meh. maybe 30 years from now.

hot lava begs for attention. i do not beg for attention. my yellow s2000 attracted waaaay too much attention for my liking. never again will i have a bright colored vehicle. you should never have to BEG for attention. ever.

but i must admit i am a fan of WRB... :/

just my views

I bought an Asphalt, but since then the argento has really been growing on me. I think asphalt is still a better color for a daily driver as this is my only car atm. Plus it has a classy quality to it (I know, classy Scion LOL). It's my baby Aston Martin until I can afford a real one.

i was really torn on whiteout or ultramarine, but my dealer told me whiteout would take longer to get (a complete lie) so i went with ultramarine.

not upset with my decision, i've come to really like the blue and my last car was white so i dont mind the change.

I've always had a thing for white cars so that's probably why i like it so much!
I'm all about my pickle being tickled.
