To the OP, you wanted an honest response, so here it is. I am male, married, and am in the 30's. I am in the same boat as the posters above, particularly Vegitto. On purchase day, I was literally on the fence between a BC roadster and my PW coupe. The deals going on at that time were too good to pass up for the roadster. I love black, and now white (obviously), but I thought BC would be something "cool" and "new".

However, after a few days of visiting the dealership alone to look at the color in person, and after looking at it over and over and over again and conversing with some of the customers (and my wife) during purchase day, we all agreed that the BC color was geared more towards:

a) older people (i.e. more so men in their pre-retirement or retirement age of 50-55 or so)

b) females

Now, true, these are "stereotypes" of course, just based on opinion, but I didn't feel comfortable owning and driving a car everyday if people would view me as being in one of the above categories. I think it's a gorgeous color personally, but I didn't want people to judge me for that. Because as much as we don't want to admit it, we LOVE it when people oogle and give us compliments on our ride.

So I chose PW instead, and am EXTREMELY happy with my decision. Had there been a black, red, blue, or white roadster that day, I probably may have been driving a roadster today

Goodluck with your decision OP... my recommendation, keep it... it is what it is. Not worth the financial risk at this time, or more so your marriage (I would assume your wife would flip out if you brought this up to her... even the thought of it).
