What color GT-R to get?

Like the poll says... I am not really partial to any of them, but I definitely wouldn't buy black. Too much of a PITA to take care of. I have already decided on the Premium trim level (top-spec) with the titanium-colored wheels.

I am going on Friday to pre-order, get pricing, etc.

White is the best by far. The other colors I've seen it in looked pretty bad.

Can you special order colors? That would be pretty cool. If not I like a dark grey with perfect color matched wheels and yellow calipers.

I ordered my GT-R in black. Although it will be a PITA to take care of, on this particular car, Black Obisidan is the way to go because the front bumper has a dark grey piece on the front which IMO looks strange on any other color but black.

The 3 most popular colors (that I've found on GT-R forums) are:

#1 Ivory Pearl
#2 Black Obsidian
#3 Dark Metal Grey

P.S. - I'm sure you know this, but ultimate metal silver is a $3,000 option and will delay arrival of your car.

Thanks for the inputs...

My feelings so far are thus:

1) My wife hates white, but I think it looks pretty good on the GT-R.
2) Dark Metal Gray is kind of my default color (color of my S4, 2 S2000s, my 911, etc.).
3) Black is killer, but a mega PITA esp. when it's winter here.
4) Red is pretty tasty, but I don't want a cop magnet.
5) Silver is ok, but too generic IMO.
6) Titanium Gray is kind of like silver.

Who knows... Good thing I have a few days to decide!

I really like black, but it's a dickens to keep clean and perfect. I would be tempted by white.
