Interested in feedback here....while color is a personal choice, and my Dad, who started a dealership in 1929, used to say to never offer your opinion on color choices,...I'm trying to decide between two colors in a 2016 Platinum Explorer.
My first choice was a Sport with Silver paint and Black Interior...love all the black out and the aggressive looking grill, but I promised myself ALL the cool options on this purchase....I want the Auto-Park, I want the Auto-High-Beams and I definitely want the Active Motion seats for my 6 hour drives to Vermont from PA....so Platinum it is.
Then it's down to just color as I know I don't want to pay for bucket seats or a console in the 2nd row...I think Black looks really good with the brushed aluminum looking highlights of the Platinum....In Silver, I think you lose that contrast that a Sport has with black trim on Ingot Silver....So I'm thinking Black on Black in the Platinum.
I've had black cars before and they're notoriously hard to keep clean and they can be hot in summer parking lots, but I think it looks better with the Platinum trim.
Interested to see poll results and hear others thoughts.
