Def not black!
I would go with DG probably for ease of keeping clean looking.

Agreed, don't get black. As nice as it looks when it's clean, I'm starting to think it's not worth the trouble. If I could do it again I'd get the Desert Platinum with black interior, instead of the other way around like I did get.

Please do not buy a G if you are not going to be able to clean it often. THere is a guy running around here in a CB coupe and he never washes it. I have a black G and it stays spotless. Just pick her up at 8 instead of 7 and spend a little time with the one that does not give you any grief!!!

I chose the Brilliant Silver, the color works very well for not showing much dirt, however, I feel the Dessert Platinum would be a good color choice as well for showing less dirt. The darker the color the better the appearance, but, dark colors can show dust, dirt, and digs more than lighter colors


I am a clean vehicle freak, so everything on my "G" and truck stays detailed to perfection most of the time.

I would suggest against DG simply because that's what I have and a couple fewer cars like mine on the road would be appreciated.

Well Semi, sorry to tell you that of the 7 or 8 GC's I've seen over the past 6 months, 3 of them were DG.

Don't go with CB if you aren't going to wash!!! If so, it'll look dirty in a week and only look good in the rain thereafter, unless you break down (no pun intended) and WASH.

Jotay21, ummmm it might be my car that you're seeing ... I'm so ashamed ...[]

I agree with all of those who said you've gotta wash this car. It would be a waste to see such a fine car with dirt and grime on it. Having said that though, I do believe DP would be the color that requires the least amount of cleaning. On the otherhand, if you don't wash your wheels at least once a week, they're going to look like crap with all the brake dust.

Well for those stretches when you just can't clean, I think BS, DP or DG are the best choices for hiding dirt. It is one of the primary reasons I like these colors as much as I do. I have owned both a DP '03.5 and now a DG '04. IMHO, while DG hides the dirt pretty darm good, the DP was even better.

Here's a pic of my old DP '03.5, hard to tell it's FILTHY after a 800mi. roadtrip.



Good Luck.
