Best Roadster Color Combo

fisherg · 12-21-2009, 07:51 PM

I am ordering my new Roadster (touring edition) next week and can't decide on the color. I am leaning towards Solid Red with Black interior, The other one I like is the Platinum graphite and Black interior. Black Cherry is nice looking but I think I'll grow tired of it quickly.

The only color I won't get is the blue. Otherwise I may end up procrastinating and decide when I'm at the dealer! (I usually regret last minute decisions!)

Does anyone else have a favorite?

pearl white with grey

black and titty pink.

Platinum Graphite/Black here and would make the same decision if I had to do it again. Although I do like that yellow (that you can't get anymore for 2010) - so yeah! PG!

Mine is white with black. I wish they would have had a tan top.

Red with black interior!!!!!

I was sold on blue with gray interior until I sat in a pg and black this weeknd...I'm def going with PG/Black now!!

I like the silver / black the best.. I thought about the PG until I saw it in the sunlight..I see alot of bronze tint in the paint that I didnt like..
I dont like Black/Black.. 3 shades of black going on there, the roof, paint and tires all diffferent shades, that bothered me

Red and black was nice though and was BULLDAWG colors but it was TOO much of a in your face Red for me..
Good luck with your choice, sure you will Love whatever you decide on

swwnz · 12-21-2009, 11:27 PM

Yes a tough one,I agree with John Bradley,the PG is nice but its the bronze shadings,in different light,that put me off also ,so for me the Red with Black interior[mind you here in NZ we have no choice as regards interior colour] so makes the colour combo a little easier.Cheers.

are you getting the 40th anniversary package?

that would affect color choice for me...

I got the magnetic black\wine interior and bordeaux top I love the color contrast between the top and the body. The wine interior really pops in a black car with the top down, I just wished that the door sills matched the seats like in the coupes.

I saw a black with wine roadster when I went to buy mine. It is truly stunning and had me on the fence to make a decision. Beautiful car.

I think silver with wine is also very elegant and seems fairly unique.

Having owned several convertibles as daily drivers, I can't reinforce enough the importance of black interiors. Yes, it's hotter in summertime, but the mesh/AC seats should negate that. The advantage is that it won't show dirt and road grime as readily. Even when my past cars were clean -- after hours of personal work -- I'd always be amazed at how much dirt and road grime would find its way behind the seats or in crevices where the top being down exposes hard-to-clean areas to the outside.

Not only is it not as visible on black, but even when you're vigilant about cleaning, it's hard to avoid permanent staining on non-black interiors.

In short, I went with the Platinum Graphite over Black (which is really charcoal gray) Touring with Sport and would pick it again even without the practical rationalization. It is beautiful.

u cant really c the top color in the picture but i love it.

Zaggeron · 01-08-2010, 09:17 PM

PG/black here as well. I like the PG/wine as well but I decided I liked the look of the black -- the PG/wine combination gave off a sorta luxury vibe while, to me, the PG/black seemed more sporty
