Default Humor - what is the best color and why ???

I can't decide on the color?

Rather than saying what colors I am considering on a new 2010 or 11 ES 350,

could you please tell me what color you think is the best (FOR YOU) and why?

White, so much easier to maintain. But the black looks so rich when it's all cleaned up and ready to go out. The only reason we got the black one was we were trade a white ES300 in on the 07. It would have been like not getting a new car.

I have seen all colors on the ES350 except for the dark green. Silver, Metallic White, Black, Dark Blue, Dark red all look rich. The Ultra's panorama roof adds to the lighter colors luxury look.

We LOVE our Matador Red ES350.
This is from the day we bought it. I recommend tinting. Ours now has 28% front, 15% back. (not pictured)

i think the Moonshell that came out with the 2007 ES350 is outstanding. At least it's not another boring black/white/silver on the street.

I agree!!!!I totally was hesitant Bout it at first but just decided to go for it...was a good decision...it has different shades...it isn't an old looking gold color, nor is it a plain old black white or silver...it's just right in being the middle of everything...

I agree also, the Moonshell looks great. I have a 04 es, dark blue, a pain in the butt to keep clean.

you knew when you asked the question eventually you would get all the colors listed. I have no problem keeping mine clean --dk color, it's called taking care of it. Garaged every night and washed min. 4-6 times/ month. use detail cleaners/polishers/sealants - Zaino several times already. Clay Bar when it was only 1 month old and it made huge difference to getting very smooth surface. As mentioned do what looks and will work for you.
