I suggest you dont "set" yourself on a color... I did that and I almost made a msitake and got a color I wouldnt have been happy with. What I suggest you do, is keep your mind open to all the colors that you dont HATE and then just go to the lot, look at the cars, sit in them, test drive them.. and take the car that makes you feel the best. You WILL be drawn towards one particular car on the lot (at least if they have any decent selection) and once you find your baby... youll know.

Excellent advice - thank you! The only colors I'm ruling out are the two reds - because metallic red doesn't look too great and the flat reds have a habit of fading. Also not keen on the legened lime green. Probably won't go with white simply because my dad had a white car a few years back and it had become almost yellow after 5 years parked outside.
So:
Yes, silver's possible,
Windveil Blue's the current favorite,
Black,
Tungsten grey,
Vista blue,
Yellow,
ANY of those could be perfect, but you're right I'll know it when I see it. The dealer does have 65 in stock, so choice isn't a problem! This is going to be exciting - I just want to get it right because I intend keeping this car forever no matter what other cars I may have down the line.

My 05 V6 was black, when it was clean it looked amazing for all of about 30 seconds! When I traded for the GT I went with the Widveil Blue, looks very nice clean or a little dusty. Driving here in DC, it is tough to keep clean.
