Why not get both? GPW Exterior with Black Interior.

Grand Prix White is like a beautiful stunning Caucasian girl with breast augmentation that "stands out and screams a bloody OMG, i'm hot, hot, hot. (good for a first impression)

Berlina is like a hidden beauty, brunette also with breast augmentation that is subtle, classy, that got your attention and as you see her walk by, you realized she is OMG hot, hot, hot. you continue to stare at her fine lines to come to find her sexy legs commanding the road ahead of her and for as long as she's in sight; your eyes transmitting those images made your heart palpitate.

A black S2k, when clean, is drop dead gorgeous.

Problem is keeping it clean. My black car had to be washed every two days to look pretty. If it rains, you gotta wash it. If a cat walks on it, you got to wash it. If a little kid touches it with his fried chicken greased fingers you gotta wash it. Even daily dust looks bad. But when it's clean, it's crazy how much better it looks.

Any other color is much more forgiving if you simply can't wash it every few days.

White is okay, I've seen some nice white S2k's but they needed aftermarket wheels or hardtop to look non-generic.

So did I...

Berlina is a pita to keep clean and rock chips, scratches, and swirl marks drive me nuts..... but, having said that, when it's clean, berlina looks goooooood.... Also didn't help that in '05, GPW only came with tan interior, and I didn't want tan...




(Although, I'm thinking about doing a tan interior swap now )

Bringing this thread back from the dead! Was searching all over for a comparison between the BB and GPW. I've been searching for 2-3 months for a GPW w/ red/black interior. Came really close to purchasing one from Oklahoma but the seller sold it to someone else and told me two days later after we had an agreement.

Anyway, I think the GPW w/ red/black for MY07 was the ultimate combo. But 556 units (unofficially) produced. Been thinking about it more recently since some BB's showed up in my area at decent prices. Realized that I think I'm more tied to the red/black interior than the GPW exterior. If the BB's on sale had red/black interiors, would've jumped all over it already.

I'm not the type to really baby the exteriors of my cars (owned three SUVs, they look fine when dirty) but thinking of taking a chance with the BB anyway. Figure I'll at least learn a thing or two about detailing cars.

GPW!!!

Although my AP2 was Suzuka to begin with.. I love GPW but I wanted to be a little different so I went with basically a GPW only with pearl (the pearl is not overdone like a lowrider).. Looks just like GPW but close up or at certain angles you can then see the pearl and I love it.. Also, it's nice to see white exterior with all blue interior..

i love my bb- but the gpw is the second best color (its like 51/49). the gpw's are rare so if you can get your hands on one jump on it. but like many have said before me either way you win because it is not silver.
if you get a bb with black interior just keep your eyes on the classifieds section red/black interiors are sold quite frequently. i personally love the all black interior.
good luck with your search.
