Black is my prefered color but here in Florida the sun just eats it up. I relocated here about 10 years ago with a black BMW 325is and conducted an informal test with a white car parked beside me, laid a hand on each and quickly removed the one on my BMW while the white cars hand remained relatively cool. I compromised and bought a Sapphire Silver Crossfire but had eyes for that red beauty sitting next to it. But a highly polished black Crossfire with those large georgous wheels has got to be a sight to see. Our dealer didn't have one.
