Well, I test drove the FA5 today in GG (not the color I want) but after driving it I realized this is definitely what I want (even though I was pretty sure before). I LOVED the car....perfect for what I need & it's a sedan I actually like & think is sporty. I'm fairly tall w/ an athletic build, so I felt more comfortable in the sedan than the coupe that I test drove a few weeks ago.

Anyways, I've narrowed it down to 3 colors....which should I go with? persuade me....

As of right now, this is the order I am thinking:

#1) Taffeta White - Classy, Clean, Looks extremely good on the Si, never have owned a white car, hard to find a white w/ black interior ( I LOVE black interior) which is probably the main reason I've never owned white. As of right now, this is my #1 choice...hard to find though (which is a negative).

#2) Alabaster Silver - Again, Classy, Clean, Easy to care for, does look somewhat ordinary on the Si (which could be a good think I guess), I did own a Silver Prelude which was nice, but it is kind of a plain color & overly popular color.

#3) Fiji Blue Pearl - Standout-ish, Definitely doesn't look like an ordinary EX or LX model b/c of the color alone, Could be a tiring color (especially since I plan on keeping the car for 5+ years), similar to the Electron Blue Pearl, which I had on my 01 Prelude & I got tired of it b/c it looked kinda purple at times. This is the easiest color to find around here...almost every dealer has at least one FBP.

So with that said, which should I go with?
