Curious - was that the 2007 list? My 2008 is Classic Silver, which is still available in 2009. Was that the successor to the Titanium, or is that Magnetic Grey?

And yes, in FL, a light color car is good for 20-30 degree F advantage in the afternoon. Not to mention that the lime rock 'mud' isn't nearly as obvious as it is on a dark color.

 

Test drove the Jasper pearl and liked it alot. Last car was red so that was not an option (says the wife). I loved the Sky blue. She liked the white. We compromised and got the white.

 

Actually "myth busters" did s episode on this theory. They compared a black vehicle with a white, vehicle and in hot summer sun, all day, the interior temperature was only a 12 degree difference.

 

Guess my but-o-meter needs a bit of calibration. My estimates were in the 'd**n hot' and the 'aw s**t, this is hot' temperature scale. Guess that range is narrower than originally estimated.

IAC, 12 degrees is significant, in my book. I'd rater be at 85 than at 97 any day - the A/C will get you 'chilled out' that much sooner. And the grayish-while 'melt-down' from the morning dew on the limerock dust still looks worse on a black car.

 

We test drove a super white in 2007. We found out someone was in the process of buying it when we test drove it...oops. They tried to get us to buy a Jasper pearl, however it was loaded. We didn't want one with Nav, etc. We had a choice of a silver, dark blue, and red equipped about the way we wanted and were within a couple of hundred dollars of each other. The Barcelona Red Metallic had a silver pin stripe which we thought added to the car and made it slightly different than most others.

Even though the wife specifically did not want red, it has grown on her and with our mods, she loves the car.

That was February of this year, we liked the aloe green metallic and super white was our first choice, but none were available on the lot when we purchased, and since they were willing to deal with us we picked the Barcelona Red with ash interior.

Very pretty when clean, but the winter salt makes it look awful!

 

Interesting that some folks voted for Aloe Green. As I recall. They make the conventional in Aloe, but not the hybrid.

 

The Aloe is such a unique color, we asked if it was available and were told no. There was an SE on the lot in Aloe that was beautiful, I couldn't stop looking at it. I don't know if it was ever available on the TCH. I thought someone had said they had a TCH in Aloe in a post.

 

Jasper Pearl here, I love the color!

 

Aloe Green Metallic is an available color for TCHs in Canada only, I believe. I have one!
