Silver will be easier to maintain, and I think that the Kizashi's in particular is a great looking color. I may be biased because it's what I have. I've also owned a black car, and while it's more work to maintain, there is nothing quite like a freshly waxed black car, it's just beautiful.

Also, welcome to the forum!

I have to agree with the Ghost. I've had black before and when it's clean there isn't anything prettier. Keeping it clean is the challenge. I plan on picking up a sport when they are released here in the states.......and I think I'm going with silver........

I don't think you can go wrong with either choice.

I got the black - looks fantastic, especially after a wax.
Yes - it needs a wash every weekend - but well worth it. What's 15mins

There are lots of silver cars everywhere. I posted a link to a tutorial on detailing somewhere on here. I'm not sure how much detailing you've done in the past, but I always find it interesting to see what products other people use and what not so it's probably worth checking out. The guy who wrote it does really really good work.

I am in agreement with the others. Black looks Sexy especially if you like Chrome. But Hard to keep clean.

I have found the Platinum Silver to be an amazing color. Especially for not showing dirt or water spots.

I have only seen the platinum silver in pictures and it really looks great. I think it shows off the lines of the zashi best. I've only seen the dark blue in person and the lines are completely lost so I wonder if the lines are lost with black. If you can park each color back to back and study which turns you on more, that would help. I would have liked the black if it came with the tan interior. I just could not stand the thought of black interior in the desert. I have ice blue and it shows the lines well too.
