I debated over and over and went with Nordic Gold. Definitely eye-catching and polarizing (love/hate), but I've never gotten as many thumbs-ups from people on the street with any other vehicle I've owned. My second choice was Basalt Black metallic, which IMHO is more attractive than plain black, but my other car is a similar color (Mercedes' Obsidian Black) and wanted something different. One thing I really like is that Nordic Gold has a lot of "depth" and highlights depending on the lighting and weather. No regrets at all, despite the ridiculous surcharge.

I've had GTS Red with black all leather interior for about a year and have been very happy with it.

What is the black headlights option? I saw this on the option list, but there was no photo of it...

I have the silver metallic which looks great / discreet, the black side trims look nice against it and the wheels match nicely, the calipers really stand out, but then again all our cars are silver so we're biased....

My vote would either be white or meteor grey.

No matter which way you go, be sure to get the "black out trim" package! It is $300 from the factory and you'll end up spending up to $2,000 to buy the parts after you take delivery of the car (and regret not getting it factory ordered)!

This statement says it all. It doesn't matter what we like. Your first inclination is black and the above statement says you keep going back to black - therefore you should get black. Personally I am too lazy for black. Black is a job - not a hobby. Maybe consider Basalt as not as difficult to maintain.

I've owned a lot of vehiclesover the years and this is my first black one. I prefer lighter colors for maintenance and upkeep, but black is so nice when it's clean.
