LOVED the look of the sillver concept when it came out, so to me the 5th Gen just looks "right" in Silver. The lines & angles of the car are really brought out in Silver as well.

The Gray looks sinister and bad-ass, but is still just light enough of a shade to still reasonably accentuate the body lines.


I was trying to decide between Silver & Gray myself until I lucked out and located a nearby ABM.

debated between the cgm and sim for quite a while. Really glad I choose SIM. It shows the design of the car much better imo, and much easier to take care off.

I can leave my car unwashed for 3 or more weeks, and it still looks good. Silver is awesome. (not that i ever go 1 week or more with out washing it)

even you're typical scratches or swirls are barely noticeable.

I would pick the Cyber metalic gray because it's easier to see.

Silver is the number one color involved in accidents according to AAA.

Good luck with your choice.

This makes sense becuse silver blends in with the urban environment. And do you really want your $35,000 muscle car to blend in ? CGM is the best alternative to SIM, IMHO.

Silver just gives it that stealth look and shows the lines of the car the best.
SIM all day

Grey is badass, Silver is cool because it was the color of concept.

I like CGM because of the blue and yellow specs... even thought you can't see them unless you're up close.

Since you are experienced with CGM, how bad is the maintenance?

I definitely prefer it over the SIM, but sort of leaning SIM because I am worried about scratches and general dirty looking car with CGM.

CMG is not as hard to keep clean as black. I wash mine once a week and it always looks clean. The only time you can really see dirt is on the rear fender.

Black looks dirty as soon as you dry it off.

Thank you for all the responses and i never expected this thread to generate so much lol. I actually went with CGM. Mostly i liked silver because it was a classic color and made the car look great but would be way easier to take care of, but CGM to me, just has a meaner look and ive seen some great CGM cars on these forums that gave me alot of ideas.
