Man, I just can't decide.
I really like the look of the SSB, but a Graphite one came up for sale recently that I am going to go test drive.. it looks Super nice!

How did you guys decide?

When I bought the Machine Grey 07 there were 12 Crossfires at the dealership....the Machine Grey was the only 6 spd Limited.

When I bought the Bright Silver 08.....it was the only brand new 08 automatic with nav I could find anywhere in the country for $17K.

Choices were made for me....happy with both...like all the colors.

Inferno Reds are the fastest unless it's an SRT.

It's such a personal decision -- what makes your heart race?

I wanted a black beauty for a long time, ever since I saw the first production Crossfire parked in front of a hotel in NYC before the auto show almost six years ago.

But I found a Blaze Red Metallic 2004 for sale in my area that was in really good shape. I figured the trade-off was worth it.

I LOVE the color of my car now and wouldn't have it any other way.

The silvers and the blues are MUCH easier to keep looking clean. I had a silver Audi TT and a silver FJ Cruiser that both looked clean MONTHS after a real car wash. Darker colors look dirty after a few hours!

That's true, I went >80,000 miles without washing a silver 2003 Olds Alero....course I only paid $11K for it new.

Is there any other color other than black?

Black Crossfires Rule....

I would stick with the less common. Reds, whites, yellows and oysters are very rare. White, believe it or not, is very easy to keep clean.

I like the contrast of the silver accents on the graphite.
SSB is very nice but is more subtle....Crossfires need to be "in your face"

Today I had an old rally racer from Argentina wait 20 minutes to talk to the owner of the blue Crossfire. We talked about my "racing" and he told me of his 6 day rally's in the old country. Get any color you find, you won't be sorry. (However, Aero Blue Rules)
