2_From_NH Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 According to Car & Driver (in their most recent issue), 72% of new cars sold in 2014 were white, grey, silver, or black. Only 28% of all cars sold in the US had pigment in them? Easy choice - stand out with Blue! Most of the cars here in HI are white, so getting blue (my favorite color anyway) was an easy choice.

Twistedfreedom Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Lapis blue no question about it. I have yet to see on on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accohn12 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 something else you may want to at least slightly consider is resale. As 2_From_NH stated, 72% of all cars sold in 2014 were "standard" colors, so the market for you to sell your car in x years is significantly smaller if it's not one of these "standard" colors. Even if you go to trade your car in, a dealer will probably use the same logic, so you may get a lower trade-in value. With that being said, the Lapis Blue is a gorgeous color!

sos123 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Between lapsis blue pearl and the carbide gray, I vote for carbide gray. That is my car's color. Now, i think that Twilight Blue Metallic is somewhat better color then carbide gray, but that is just me. To see how beautiful that color is, you just need to see it on the real car, not on the photos or those color squares. For all other question, you should search this forum: http://legacygt.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/sixth-generation-legacy-2015-137.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can also work to ones advantage. Whenever I had a car with non standard color or color combo, it always sold right away due to being rather rare.... It is still pretty hard to find a Legacy with white exterior and black int. I held up buying a white one for a long time since they only came with beige int in the past. So it can play either way.

im2c0ol Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I choose the color that last, easy to maintain, details and resist to heat. so white is my choice 16' Legacy Mods: 55w HID + XB35 5500k, LEDS upgrades, XB Type T Fog, 20mm SB.

jimvhobbies Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 i was wondering if the solid blue would show swirl marks? I can get a blue one in three days Its a lot harder to get carbide gray...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_Subaru Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I originally was very drawn to the Lapis Blue, beautiful color, but the deal killer was I couldn't get the black interior with it. That helped me narrow it down to white, gray, or silver, but in person at a dealer the Crystal White seemed to call my name the loudest. After I ordered it I was a bit worried the color might look more conservative than I wanted but since its a nice bright white (not ivory) and the metallic is subtle I'm very pleased with it. Especially when I wash it. I would think you would pretty easily be able to see some Carbide Gray examples on dealers lots, around here most of the stock Legacys are either silver or gray. By the way I love the Eyesight. If you drive in heavy traffic the blind spot detection is priceless even though rear visibility is great in the car. Also once you have the adaptive cruise control you'll never know how you lived without it. For what its worth, my salesman said he ordered an Outback for his wife without Eyesight to save the money but now every time he delivers a car and explains the features he kicks himself repeatedly and wished he had ordered it.
