Looking in a brochure may not tell you much as these things are done up in perfect conditions and may be re-touched. Here are pics "au naturelle":

Only problem with Silverstone is having to keep it clean, better with f/r spoilers. When dirty the silverstone really looks plain. The Sebring never looks filthy, even when it's disgusting you can clean the wheels and shoot downtown...!!! The metallic effect is second only to the pearlcoat yellows. For me, if I have to deal w/ the cleaning, I prefer black. If I want the metallic look, I prefer my sebring silver.


Sooo.... IHO, depends on how clean you plan to keep the car. I see what Japan offers in their color combos and it makes me care even less. Most of USDM's run neck and neck, your personal choice.

Hexx, in Japan I could order a cream pearlcoat white, with red interior... add chin spoiler, deck spoiler ...yeeoW....

Silverstone is really dark and not that attention getting to me ! If I were you I would get the SEBRING because it looks better and it is not as common as the Silverstone!

You can even get a Neon wing to fit on the Silverstone!

I think Sebring looks pretty cool with the tail out...

Thanks xviper, I was looking for a comparative pic like that earlier, and didn't have much luck.

Here is a nice bright pic of Sebring.

As you can see, the Sebring really glows in the sunlight.
Here is another pic with a little less light.

Silverstone just doesn't have the same "sparkle" that Sebring has. Either way, I think you will be pleased.

Hope the pics help.

Silverstone is the color of class and sophistication. It is the classic color. It is grey flannel and French perfume properly worn. It is high class in every way.

Sebring Silver is the girl next door. You never noticed her before, but once you opened your eyes you realized that she was the most beautiful woman you've ever seen. Sebring is the color you spend time with. It sparkles in the sunlight and glows at night.

Both are outstanding.
