I'm going back and forth between a black and white Audi they have at the dealership. One is brilliant black and the other one is glacier white. At the moment I own a white Acura and it seems to hold off dirt pretty well.

I've heard black cars don't really hold off dirt to well. I would like to hear some feedback on owners who might have brilliant black and glacier white on their Audis.

Thanks

My family chose Glacier White. This is our first car with a white exterior and we don't have any regrets!

If you are not too **** about how your car looks, go for black. It will indeed show every speck of dust and you will get very good with your dual action polisher working on the swirl marks. But it will look great when it's freshly washed and waxed. I have a black MDX and a Havana Black - almost black - A7. Future cars will be all lighter colors! Have fun!

IMHO, definitely go with Glacier White. Been there, done that with both. Too **** with my car's cleanliness to want to bother with Black anymore. Its looks great, but only momentarily after the wash and polish.

I struggled with the color decision and eventually decided to go with Brilliant Black. IMO the A7 looks fantastic in black (Phantom Black Pearl also looks hot).

If your dealer has both - park them side to side and go with your gut reaction.

Flat black vs glacier white... I'd recommend going with the metallic white, but only if it had black interior. White shows the lines of the car better, but you simply can't beat the look of a freshly polished black car, although it requires more attention.

I struggled with this same color delima. So In consulted with the expert (female species), and the wife said white is elegant and black is just plain "mean ****" (yep, her exact word ;-) and she left it at that. I ended up with the Phantom Black Pearl and never looked back.

I don't think you can go wrong wither either color, good luck.

Yea, I could definitely see that in the show room. The details do pop more with Glacier white. Thanks for your input.

HAHA! I like that. I have to agree, white is elegant; especially at night. Nothing beats it with those lights.

Yet black is and a quote a "mean ****" :P It's is a hard decision for sure. I think I might have to flip a coin. The bad part is that one comes with a certain package I like while the other doesn't. First world problems :P

Thanks for the input!

I have an [Ibis] white and it ALWAYS looks new w/ minimal effort (Good hand wash and a quick spray polish/buff). I too love a freshly hand waxed and buffer polished black car--but that's very rare and painstakingly time consuming! Are you in a place w/ harsh winters... road salt, sand, etc? That undoubtedly helped sway my decision.
