Orange or Silver or Blue Sensation?

I am looking at picking up a 09 Fit tomorrow. I can't decide between Orange, Silver, or Blue Sensation. What color should I get?

Blue Sensation out of those three. Taffeta White if you have a choice for all.

Taffeta White had been my first choice, but after seeing it a few times, I shifted preferences.

I picked the one that my dealer had; Storm Silver Metallic.

The orange is a very lively color, but I'm not sure how it will fare five or ten years from now. Remember all the teal green Civics in the early nineties? Or was it the late eighties?

My vote was for the Blue Sensation Pearl. I would gladly have taken that over my SSM... I think. Hmmm...

Orange Revolution is the obvious answer

See this thread for some nice pics of this color! https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...on-thread.html

General opinion I've gotten is that Silver requires the least maintenance (doesn't show dirt as much) and Orange Revolution is the most visible and has a certain 'hip' factor.

Blue is blue (more visible than Silver for folks who just can't see themselves in an Orange or red car....)

Hey! What about Black Berry Pearl?

The BSP and SSM were my backup colors though. Orange is something I just can't do, nor yellow for that matter. I suspect Tidewater Blue is the most unpopular color for the Fit... soo boring and non standout.

I vote orange, but you have to be the right sort of person for that. A little quirky, a little bold, a little happy.

The new blue to me is boring. Silver has never been a color I'd consider. Of the new colors, I think CBP looks the classiest, OR the most fun and hip, and TWB the most understated. You asked my opinion. Get what YOU want!

I checked out the Blackberry Pearl last night and was not into it at all. It was missing the electric dynamic of the Blue Sensation.

I think I am leaning toward Orange, now I just have to find one....

Orange definitely! The other colors are fine, but a bit boring.

orange orange orange! don't get the other boring colors!

Definitely don't get the gray one - it blends in perfectly w/ the gray asphalt road. Your car shoudl stand out on the road to wake up those big SUV texting drivers. An orange car acts as a warning sign. W/ such a small and lightweight car you don't want to get hit. That's one of the reasons I got myself an orange.

p.s. If you routinely drive over 90+ mph then drive a silver/gray and disappear.

I am picking up my 09 Fit Sport with VSA & NAVI AT in Orange Revolution tomorrow night! (Kinda weird since I was told by two dealers that the car wasn't available in CA, and then a different dealer called and said he'll have it tomorrow morning and is selling it for $200 under MSRP.)
