Pearl White or Black AMV8V?

I'm considering these for a purchase soon. Both are 07's and spec'd out similarly (premium audio's the most important for me). Both have 20k miles.

The white one seems to be a bit better cared for, hence about $3K more. White has Obsidian Black interior, and Black has Black interior with red seats and door card inserts.

I value your input. Thanks.

I just got back from a business trip in Dallas. Based on the temperatures there, I would say that white is a good choice in Texas.

The white frost is a really stunning color in person. I like Obsidian but there will be more of them. I would go with the white and change the wheels to some kind of Gray or tinted brushed. It will look tremendous and be very unique.

I love the Morning Frost. But do change the wheels to Sport Pack ones instead.

I thought he said Pearl White (which is nice) and not Morning Frost (which I agree looks fantastic). I would echo the comment from Racer about the heat. Mine is Onyx Black and it's hot even in Toronto

AFAIK there are only two whites: Stratus and Morning Frost (pearl).

Nothing is better looking than a clean black exotic. However there is a price to pay -Having owned 2 black cars, they are impossible to keep clean and EVERY blemish will show. White gets dirty too but you won't see paint swirls and light scraches. Go with the white unless you want to slave over your car.

Definitely white! Plus the earlier advice on something matte black / titanium graphite would be the proper choice!

Good to know, thanks. The dealer had it listed as pearl white, but I could find nothing online as to definitely what the color name is. Where is the color code on the car?

Thanks for all your input! When I first saw the white, I was stunned and couldn't get my mind off it. I wanted to get other opinions, as I wanted to make sure I didn't want it just because it matches my hair color!
