Need color opinions quick!

I am, like many potential buyers on this forum who is torn between BO and MW. Setting everything equal and taking out the negatives of each color (black being hard to clean etc.) which color looks best on the G? I could be sitting in a new 09 MW coupe this week or wait 2 weeks for a BO with the same options. If anyone can share their input of what color car they think looks better and why would really help because im 50/50 right now.

Many of you complain about seeing the same 2 colors on the road but to be honest in my area I have yet to see these cars except for maybe 2 or 3 times. I've seen hundreds of pictures and have been to the dealer several times but it is hard to judge a car's color while it's sitting in a parking lot or in a photo. The real test is seeing the car while driving on the road and in differnt lights and time of day. Mind you that I will be keeping the car completely stock except maybe tinting the windows at most and both cars will have the same options (sport, prem, nav, splashguards, graph interior). Thanks for your input and help.

Both colors are great and really complement the design. I came really close to getting white. Had one for a week and decided to get Black. Good lawdy! Black is a biatch to keep clean and sharp. But it all really depends on the kind of time you have. Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply elite but what specifically made you change your mind? And you can actually bring back the car and have it switched? How nice.. =)

let me tell you, if you aren't going to spend time at least once a week to detail, don't get BO, it's really down to what you like, ultimately. but i chose black because it looks so damn good when it's clean and nothing is better than a black car standing out i was deciding between white and black, but black just takes the cake on the 37

My sales guy was really great! I've purchased 2 G's from him at this point so he let me take a white coupe for a week while I decided what color to get.
I had a white Acura CL-S once and didn't want to get another white car.
And I've heard that every man should own at least 1 black car in their lifetime.

That's the story.

Imo...

Black definitely looks sexier. Saw a Moonlight White Coupe on Thursday and sorry to say it looked bland IMO. I was disappointed. Hopefully it was just b/c of the lighting and the fact that it was not clean. I have been debating on the same two colors but I am definitely gonna go Black Obsidian.

Didn't have a great deal of colour choice and had to pick between red, black, white and silver. Don't forget it's dust city here.

Red = trying too hard
White = did you actually choose a colour?
Black = agree with above and dust and the fact that every man and his camel has a black car ruled it out
Silver = not my favoutite to start with but gotta say it some light it looks completely f'ing sexy. Infiniti tend to use this colour as the lead for the car BUT still not totally convinced. Still reckon the dark grey would have been my choice,,, BUF (again) starting tp love the silver. Add a coat of DiamondBrite to make it like a mirro and I'll probably be a v. happy man... don't have foto of mine to upload BUT - c'mon - it looks pretty damn good - http://home.comcast.net/~jason_edmonds/g37r55-10.jpg

To the OP, between BO or MW I would choose BO with the black interior, that sht would look mean.

I have a PG, and that was my first choice, but after being on the forums and driving the car for almost a year now, I would say the rarest color would be Athens and very closely would be the LP. I'm really fond of LP, AB, and BS now.
