Silver

It seems that silver is the most popular color for the 7th Gens. I wonder what percentage of 7th gens sold are silver? If anyone has this type of info or just wants to comment, do so.

BTW, mine is silver also.

Well the reason I got silver is because it's easy to keep clean and hardly any swirl marks shows up if it ever does. My last car was black. I was out every weekend waxing it to keep the swirl marks down, and I would also have to dust it off.

I will never, EVER, buy another black car, unless I somehow become a millionare. Black cars are the best looking cars on the road, right after they have been detailed. After a couple days they need to be detailed again to look good. It was way to much upkeep for me to keep my last black car looking nice.

My other car is black right now, and it is so true. Right after it's washed and waxed, it looks awesome. But if you don't keep up with it, forget it, the car can start to look like [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]. Whatever car I get to replace that one, I think I want silver as well.

I got a silver one because it is the easiest to maintain. I had a red car and the color fades so quickly. Both white and black look like ish when dirty. And i didn't like the other colors besides blue, but it only had tan interior for the coupe and I wanted black interior.

I wanted black so bad. But again, same story there. It's to much work to keep it nice. But I didn't want silver, coz 60% of the car's on the road these days are silver. So I just went with blue, and was lucky I could get that with black interior . Even blue is hard to keep nice an shiny, but not as tough as black. And as for birds, well they don't give a rat's *** on what color their ***** lands [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] We need like stinger missiles to keep out of harms reach [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

They come like that from the dealer here in Holland. Canada too I think. And I think silver looks better on a Honda than on the other 60% of the cars [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I got silver b/c it had blk int. I would of either got white or blue but they all come w/ beige int. in the US. Didn't want blk cause its way too hot in the summer here in TX and I didnt' see myself really driving a red car(kinda too flashy for me).

The blue coupes have tan interior and the blue sedans have black interior in the US at least for the 2001 model year

Yeah, I got a silver also. I like it. I didn't at first. I wanted black exterior, but I had to get on a waiting list because they didn't have any. So, i got the silver because the tan interior sux IMO.

Wouldn't it be cool to have like 4 extra buttons on your remote, just to change the color on your car when you walk up to it (or when you just lost to a Focus. "No dude, that was some other Honda.". )
Or an extra 5th button for instant cleaning . Let's collect names and call Honda [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I got silver because in my opinion the silver and blue where the best looking colors they had in 2001 for the 2dr but I didn't like the idea of a light colored interior so i went with silver. I love it and so do my friends. I stayed away from the solid colors because of care swirls ect. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

1. silver is the best color to choose if you ever plan to sell your car.
2. silver is very easy to keep clean compared to black, or white.
3. silver is shiny, and SSM is metallicy and people are like woow its sparkly i like it.
4. its hella shiny in the sun, very noticable.
5. it doesnt STAND out like red, but its still STRIKING enough to get peoples attention.

That about sums it up. Thats my story, and im stickin to it. =)

"It might be used, but its still a honda."
