Orange or White?
I am planning on buying a 2011 2LT RS Auto on Tuesday.
The dealer has Silver, White, Orange or Black. I live in Texas where we get a lot of sun, and to me silver can look a little boring in very sunny weather. I was never a fan of white, but the Camaro looks amazing in that color because it shows off the body shape so well. Worried it might need a lot of cleaning though. Orange is pretty awesome. I got an Internet price of just a hair over $30. I think it looks great. Worried about the red tail lights clashing a bit with the body color though. Although black is a hugely popular color, I personally feel like it hides the front grill and other detailing a little. Also black looks amazing only on days you actually wash your car, and I'm a bit lazy when it comes to washing. Any feedback you can give me would be great. This is a great forum, and has helped me in deciding which car to buy. |

Damn, this forum is so active. I post a question and get answers right away. When I bought my Bimmer in 2007, I never had this kind of response!
Let's hope my new car is as good as this forum is enthusiastic! |

If it's between white and IOM I would go white but can you really go wrong?

You're right BackinBlackSS, it's hard to go wrong. Face it, it's an awesome looking car. Can't wait until Tuesday.

I would go with White....
Too me, the IOM, while nice, may be a "Fad color" and in future years could hurt your resale value. The other advantage with White is if you add stripes, accents, etc, you have a much wider range of colors that will go with your white car rather than you IOM car. Another thought....IOM is close enough to red to attract the attention of Law Enforcement....white...not so much. |

I say Silver, but that's just me.
But on the way back from Nebraska I saw a RJT one with flat CGM color type stripes and it looked great under an overcast day |

IMO you already answered your own question ... Also if you want to be boring and not stick out, don't get IOM ...
