Both the silvers are easy to maintain and then Sazuka because they are all in the mid tone family and high metallic. Spa and grand Prix are too light and show much dirt and Berlina shows everything but probably looks the best when super clean. The new Moonrock should be easier than black but not as easy as silverstone

Cool. Thanks for your inputs about the Silvers. Does everyone else agree that Yellow look really bad when dirty? I'm guessing not as bad as Black or White

IMO, ANY color doesn't look good when dirty. I can't really say I'd like a dirty white car over a dirty yellow car.

Quite simply, White or Silver (sebring or silverstone).

I have owned several bright red cars and they look good even for a long time. My latest and still in my garage, until my mom can cough up some cash, is a Pontiac GTP that looks great even after 2 months without a wash (when I am lazy). I have a Silverstone S2K and after one trip in the rain it looked dirty, with streaks on the side of the car. I don't have enough experience with the silverstone yet as I have only owned it 9 days, but I can say bright red is pretty good (it does show dust, but I don't live in a dusty area).

If you do not maintain a red car (wash/wax), it will turn out the worst. Just look on the road at some old red econo cars in your area, you will know what I mean.

I'd have to agree with most everyone else. Silver is probably the easiest to stay clean followed by blue

I have two silver cars and a yellow and black bike. The silver hardly ever looks like it needs to be washed. With the bike the yellow shows dirt twice as bad as the black. But if i buy another S it will be yellow.

I'm very happy with red so far. It hardly ever looks dirty even when it really is. Friends are always asking "Did you just wax your car?" when there's actually a layer of road grime on it.

Go with Silverstone it already looks dirty even when it's clean

(takes a jab at the SS owners)
