I've got a black Taurus and white Mustang. Both are a ***** to keep clean. The black shows the dirty a little quicker, but doesn't look as bad as the white with the same dirty. If that makes any sense. Both look awesome all clean and shiny.

I've had many, many black cars, and now I will only buy white, trust me, ask anyone who's owned both color cars and they'll tell you it's easier to keep a white car cleaner longer and when it is dirty it will always look cleaner than a black car.

+1.

I currently own a white car, and my father has only owned black cars for the last... 10 years or so. Here's my view:

White doesn't show dirt nearly as much as black. However, the downside of that is that white doesn't "Show" nearly as well as black. No matter how much you wax it, polish it, etc. it will never pop as well as black.

Seems to hide the lines to much. Looks just like a plop of white out.

I have a red mustang and white F150. After a while they both look like crap where I live. I want a self washing car.

All things considered, I think white is the way to go.

Obviously, I'm the only one who sees it the other way.

I got white with the Saddle interior. Ordered it w/o ever seeing the saddle, but one came into my dealer a few weeks later and I went to go see it. It looked awesome. Just goes very well together.

Going with black instead of white would have hidden those body panels a lot more, but I just liked the look of the white.

Great advice! Thanks everyone!

I have decided to go with the white. I just can't get over how clean it looks with just the dark tint added - really looks awesome with all the black molding around the car too. I am going with the MCA package, so I the the dark wheels, billet-type grill & HIDs will make that car look sick

The pic on the second page of the 2011 Mustang brochure is exactly what I want - minus the da*n tape stripe on the side - that autozone lookin' sh** is gonna have to go

Beautiful car, Topnotch!! Duplicate of my 2007 GT500 stripe delete. My 2011 white with Grabber blue stripes should be here shortly, I do like the clean look of the car. I can always remove my blue LeMans stripes....The seat stripes are another story. Very nice looking car. Like the police package CV, as well.

I can't do a solid white. I really like the white pearl that the SHO offers, and would consider it. Same with black. I'd rather have the new Tuxedo Black as an option than just std. black paint.

Kona is a good color too - I would have gone for kona if the blue had been a little closer to the old Sonic Blue...now that color would be my NUMERO UNO choice without a doubt!
