Dhyana Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I'm just curious what people think of the colors. I haven't seen them all. I was leaning toward white or black or regal blue until I saw the regal blue one. Then I didn't want that one. I am leaning toward white now, although I haven't seen it in person. Thanks, Dhyana P.S. I haven't done a poll before, so I hope this will work ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeLoo Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Garnet Red is very nice... Of course I own a Garnet Red GT Limited Wagon! 8) I was so pleasantly surprised with the color when I took delivery of the car. Black would have been my second choice. 2005 Legacy GT Wagon Ltd 5EAT Garnet Red 1999 GTI VR6 Black - sold but not forgotten... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Personally, I'm not very fond of the colors of the Legacy. the only one I am a little more than ok is the Regal Blue, which I've yet to see on a sunny day yet. I'll probably go with the Regal Blue. I don't want another black car, silver doesn't do much for me, atlantic blue I'm just ok about it, but like regal blue - I haven't seen in sun light yet. The other colors aren't for me either. If it came in an Ocean Blue, think Audi Ocean Blue, I'd be on it in a heart beat. Ocean Blue is between AB and RB - darker than AB but lighter than RB. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoterson Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I own an atlantic blue pearl and I gotta say its sweet, bright in the sun dark in the moon, good color, probably not very "manly" but it gets a lot of "wow nice color" from the ladies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 REGAL BLUE BITCHES! :lol: Sorry, I couldn't resist.. I watched Chappelle show last night. My favorite color is RBP, then black, then AB and silver are a tie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhyana Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 I voted for black because I actually like that color better, but will probably order the white as it might seem a little more clean than it is. Now that I finally understand the JDM/USDM bumper difference, I like the looks of the JDM better, which comes on the white cars. Dhyana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedeck Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 the white USDM leg's still get the USDM bumper. Only in Japan will you be able to find one of those JDM bumpers... don't mean to blow the whistle here...but good luck finding one. Later, i.

I think that the red isn't a big color for subies because many of us choose them for thier sleeper qualities. Plus I think that the GT looks a little more understated with a different color.. the red is nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunderkind Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 actually i'm kinda bummed out that Subie did not include some neat colours like a Dark Slate Grey or the new STi's Crystal Grey Metallic. Oh well, my favourite's white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have considered something more subdued (like VW Silver Blue) had it been available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubie02 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I like the black, and that's what I got, but I REALLY liked the Atlantic Blue Pearl. Those were the two colors I was most interested in, and the only MT GT I could find in local dealer inventory was black, so thats what I went with. I don't think any of the colors look bad.

powbmps Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I bought the red, but would have been happy with black, silver or white. I I've never been a big fan of white cars until I saw the white Legacy. Very nice. Chris S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agctr Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 For me, I love the Silver and have now owned two silver cars. Its a lot easier to keep clean and looks clean even when dirty. When its washed and polished, with the tyres done, it looks mad. I find the Silver is an easier car to do up as well as you can mix and match a lot of things with it.

PPower Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 AB with black, but not AB with taupe. The interior color really changes the outside by having more contrast. I'm really liking white/black as well. That said, I may be waiting on Urban Grey to hit our shores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I am about to purchase a satin white GT Ltd sedan auto. At the dealership, i was told that all colors on the legacy have two coats of paint. except the Black and White. The white allegedly has three coats and the black only one. can anyone confirm this? at any rate, I can't wait to get my car in the white! Atlantic blue is very hard to find in the sedan here in vancouver canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foerster Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Hello all -- First post for me... This has actually been an ongoing debate for me and my wife. So we went to a dealer that happened to have every color on the lot so we could compare them... I've had 2 black cars (89 Taurus SHO and current 96 Contour), and really like the look. Yeah, they show the dirt, but if you can accept that they're just going to look perfect all the time, they're amazing and worth it after a wash... And we also have a Midnight Blue Pearl Odyssey that's beautiful... So, I'm looking at the GT Ltd -- here's the rundown: [list]Black & Tan (OBP) -- Sounds great (after hours) and looks [b]awesome[/b]! Royal Blue (RBP) -- Test drove a RBP/taupe GT that was pretty sweet, but seeing as we already have the Odyssey that's almost exactly the same color (had them side-by-side in the dealer's lot and color match was almost perfect), thinking it may look a bit weird having 2 vehicles the same color... Garnet Red (GRP) -- Dealer had a GRP/taube that looked pretty great -- not an "arrest me" cherry red at all, but more rich, deep -- but not dark -- and only slightly pearl, the kind I like -- but wifey didn't care for it. Satin White (SWP) -- Also pretty nice, although I didn't notice much of a pearl to it as others had mentioned, but again nixed by the wife. Brilliant Silver (BSM) -- Never had one, and I like it, but apparently so do 1/2 the buyers of all the other cars on the road... Atlantic Blue (ABP) -- Beautiful color, nice pearl to it. Almost has just a hint of green or gray fleck to it if you get the reflection just right. The only thing I don't like about it is how similar it is to the Camry blue.[/list] So: wifey's list is: ABP, RBP, OBP, BSM, GRP, SWP And, at this moment, my list is: BSM, OBP, RBP, ABP, GRP, SWP, subject to change in 5 minutes. Stefan One last thing: If only they existed on the Legacy, my top choices would be Rally Blue or Crystal Gray... Umm... 2004 Honda Odyssey EXL-RES, Midnight Blue Pearl 1996 Ford Contour SE, Black, soon to be replaced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel-bait Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Initially I didn't care for white, I've seen a lot of (older) white Legacies on the road and they just look too dowdy. I figured I'd need to get one in black for it to have any sex appeal. But having seen some pics of the new Leg in white, I've changed my mind. I really like the way white contrasts with the dark area around the headlights, and I like that the white hides the back-up lights and third brake light better. sqrl b8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
