Hi Pete, my thought on this is that you have many new cars in great new colors. As perfect as they may seem at first, I think you may get tired of those colors after a while. My last car was a Volvo S40 (don't ask
) and I bought it in a new color Titan grey, because it looked good and there were already so many S40's around that I thought it would be special. It was indeed special (colorwise), but after a couple months I did regret not buying a black one. In my opinion, you never get tired of black.
About not having enough time to clean it... c'mon... it doesn't take thàt long, does it? Cleaning your car is a nice passtime, ideal to get rid of all that stress at work. This is just my opinion... I bought the sapphire black... as you may have imagined...
