Silver hides dirt and crap better than any color.
It's also innocuous and tends not to attract undo attention from certain undesirable elements who were blue uniforms.

Jeff always used to argue that color didn't matter but it just doesn't stand out like a red or bright yellow from a half mile out.

I like to look dead sexy, but maybe only twice a year for about 8 hours at a time.

You - or the car??

Yes, silver may be boring as a color but there is nothing boring about the S. I'm just happy to have one.

whatever the color, I can't wait to get it outa the garage and on the road already

Don't know if I mentioned this before, but my neighbor 4 doors up the street has a boyfriend there quite often, he has an S2K too, same silverstone as mine

I don't know why Honda chose silverstone to be the most produced color. This is probably why we see more silverstones on the road than anything else. I too am a silverstone but i'd rather have one of the blue colors.

Not sure they chose silverstone, but customers ordered it?

Connecticut = Black Benz everywhere. black is nice but much harder to keep it looking clean. my co-woek has a 2001 Chevy 2500HD black with over 120k miles and 100% looks like it came out of the factory doors. man it is super super clean and its his daily. lite normal connecticut surface rust under the truck but damn it so f-in clean. that show me how much you have to work to keep black looking new or close to it.

I had a black 07 Legacy for a little over 3 years, I loved having a black car and wish I would again. It did look dirty so quick, but every time it was clean it was well worth it! Specially at night, nothing to me looks better than a black car at night.
