White or Black???

I'm wavering...

I originally reserved a White/Silver Passion. I've now been accepted for a Black/Black Brabus.

I like both colors, maybe the white a little more than the black.

Informal Poll: What color would you all choose?

Tough choice. I should be so lucky to have had to make that one. IMHO, if you're doing the Brabus, double black would be the best choice, as it really suits the Brabus. That being said, I have a white/silver/black Passion coupe and just love it. I've had several compliments on the color scheme too. Don't think you can lose here....

since i didn't get accepted for a Brabus either, i'm sticking with my White/Black Passion with the comfort pkg.

but you DID get accepted, so are you thinking about NOT taking the Brabus or what? the Brabus only comes in Black/Black or Silver/Silver.....THAT'S IT!

White is not an option....

Yes, I was accepted, and yes, I'm thinking about giving up my spot, should I decide on white. I do like the white/silver/black (comfort package) - that's what I would order

It don't matter what color you get, It's a Smart Car, it's cool whatever color, and no matter what color, you will get compliments...

I missed the Brabus as well, so modified my white/silver/beige Passion. Still more to go, but I'm still getting ideas. I spend so much time in the sun, I couldn't live with black, besides I've had white cars since 1970...

I vote white/black/beige, but I'm biased!

Seriously, I like the Brabus, but those low aspect tires will make the ride on anything but pristine pavement really annoying. I had a GTI with 45 series performance tires, ugh.

I've had a white car and a black car. The Black color just doesn't hold up enough over time unless you really baby it. Also, the black looks like it needs to washed often as it really shows the dirt. My white car looks pretty good for much longer. Just my .02 cents.

Definitely White. Black is a btch to keep clean.
My Volvo 770 is black & gold and 45 minutes after you wash it you can see the dust laying on it.
Our white Subaru and F450 is way less maintenance.
They look clean even if they are a little dirty.
With no Turbo or substantial increase in HP the Brabus thing is a non issue.
Just my .02
