Get the SSB, I had a black one and now have the graphite. I would choose the SSB in those color choices. Now.....WHITE is the best looking Crossfire IMHO!

I washed my Alabaster coupe Thursday afternoon, and drove about 50 miles to meet up with the Mid West Crossfire gang. Then I drove 5 hrs the next day to Carlisle where I wiped the bugs off of my bumper, windshield, and mirrors and came in 3rd. place behind two magnificently "detailed" black coupes.
So if you're lazy like me......go white, and you'll be alright.

I have a graphite roadster which placed 1st at Carlisle, need I say more. Graphite looks great with chrome trim. Take a look in my gallery. I think Grace's red looks best on a coupe.

I own a black, but I really love the way the white (aka "Alabaster") ones look.

If i had any choice I would take Aero Blue, but went with SSB because of the deal and limited amounts in my area. I would take SSB over graphite.

I have no idea how all these "very biased" opinions are going to help you LOL!

But here is how I came to my SSB conclusion of which I am happy.

Red- Liked red initially until I say a few in person and it really wasnt right, too much of a silver base underneath for me.

Black - I have always liked black cars but they are a pain in the tarnation to keep clean and look mint. And not to mention the swirl marks. I almost pulled the trigger on oen with less than 3k but couldnt do it because even in the garage I could see the imperfections in the paint.

Graphite grey - Liked the color but in the end I just looked a little overcast for me. Like a gray day.

White - Nice but not for me.

Yellow - Definitely for the ladies (Taz dont get upset to each his own) just not for me.

Aero Blue - Not an option, kinda found it to be a color that wanted to be blue but just not enough.

Gold - Never saw one in person so I couldnt make that decision without a visual. Very unique though.

In the end the SSB was the one for me. I like the fact that the color softens the silver acceents, subtle but strong is the way I like my xfire.

So to avoid any flaming, there is no bad lookign xfire color. THey all look pretty doggnone sweet. But you in the end will need to finalize on what color combo works best for your tastes!

Out of the two, I like the SSB best.


+1
I get comments/compliments about the Sapphire Silver Blue all the time on my '05 Coupe. Coincidently, my wife's '09 Volvo S60T5 is pretty much the same colour but is called, Metallic Electric Silver. Both are silver with a hint of blue...............BTW, my wife's Volvo can blow the doors off the Crossfire!

I bought a white coupe, and have never looked back. I like them all, but the white is a really bright white,and gets noticed alot, and it stays clean alot longer than I expected. I do though like the meatllic colors, which unfortunately the white is not.

I was hooked on getting the White with Cedar interior.....that is until I searched and came across the SRT-6 model......there she sat in sunny Cali......$850 later she was mine!! SSB....at the right angle you get the blue hues. We have the advantage of having 2 hues in 1 OH YEAH BABY SSB "FP" who has the best color..........LOL!

Actually my friend SSB was my first choice, but I found a great deal on the black roadster. I've fallen in love with the color (when it's clean).

I'll say one thing, my wife's white Coupe STILL attracts more attention than my SRT & it always looks cleaner though I spend much more time washing & waxing & detailing & etc., etc. mine than hers.
That being said, I lean towards the SSB. It's got a unique look & besides (oh, I just KNOW I'm gonna pay for this one ) gray reminds me of Buicks.

Aero Blue is still the purtiest though...........

Well.. The guy sold the car today.. After I told him I wanted to test drive Friday. Huge bummer, again.

Looks like SSB
I think that's a good thing, I like the SSB better, it's just the the Cedar inerior is AWESOME!

If you like all of the colors, pick out the best car regardless of color.

I really wanted a black SRT, but could not find a reasonably-priced low-mileage SRT when I was
looking two years ago. I did find a SRT at a dealer 100 miles from me, sitting on the showroom floor
with only 300 miles on the odometer. It was SSB, and the dealer made me "an offer I couldn't refuse".
If only it was black - since it was SSB it took me a whole 10 minutes to decide instead of 10 seconds.
I am a bright in-your-face color person, my last car was bright yellow. I really did not like the SSB at first.
But get it cleaned up and out in the sunlight, that blue really sparkles. I get so many compliments on the
color, and it is a color that "looks expensive" on the car. I have grown to like it more and more.
I drive mostly highway miles, and it would be impossible not to gather rock chips on the front end which
would have driven me crazy on a black car.

I may be bias but I'd go graphite, think of it as SSB with a sun tan!

I really think the Xfire is one car that all colors look good on. I passed a inferno red yesterday on the interstate and thought it had to be the best looking color by far......until I got home and looked at my Aero Blue.....they all look great
