Default Which colour is best

I must say that I'm quite partial to the way cars with sporting intentions look in white.

What do you guys think?

Im sorry but no matter how many people tell me otherwise.. the m5 is butt ugly.

As far as sport color .. I think red is known more of a "sporty" color, although I prefer silverish

Depends on the car. Some cars do not wear certain colors well. For example, as controversial as the new M5's styling is, I think it would look pretty bad in yellow, as would just about every Mercedes.

I'm partial to metallic colors myself, primarily silver, as that color can really make a car look pristine.

My favorite "flat" color happens to be black.

yeah, it really depends on the car. the last gen M5 would not had looked as pimp in alpine white. in fact, the previous gen M5 looked best in darker colors, such as black or blue.
