Caliber Color by sskeens

I've pretty much decided I am going to buy a Caliber. The color choice is killing me though. I'm thinking black or silver. I love lots of chrome. I've never had a black car, but I've seen Black Calibers on TV and they looks so good.
Anyone have a black on and love it, or do you wish you would of chose another color.

Black cars generally always look good... they also ALWAYS need to be washed as they show every bit of dirt that gets near them.

black is the sharpest but at a price by rik4

black will show every ounce of dust and every swirl mark. on the other hand light metallic colours show little. the orange should not be as bad. also i have had red cars and was pleased. dark blue and green are also hard to keep clean. silver and tan are ok.

Amen on the black. One of my vehicles is black. First black one I've ever had, and likely the last. The thing DEMANDS to be washed
 
And yes, the red Caliber IS sharp looking, although I'm more about NOT attracting the attention of the radar operators while I'm on the road.

red cars and police radars... by lexan1965

It is a myth according to ABC's 20/20 John Stossel about red cars attracting cops attention as far as getting speeding tickets. Thsi program was on several months ago and the insurance companies contacted by ABC sent them proof about red cars not being targeted by police radars. So, with that said...I'll keep my "Inferno red" Caliber! *L*.

lexan1965: I will agree with you. We bought our first red car in 2004 and have only pulled over once for a warning in 42,000 miles. And what you say about the ABC program is true.

As said in some previous posts, black looks great as long as you don't own it. As much as I do not like owning black cars I've had a couple just because that was all that was available. I currently have an '04 audi A4 that is black....PAIN in the you know what to keep clean, I am trading it in on an Inferno Red Caliber. The red color myth is just that. I work for an Insurance company and red does not affect your premium and if your car looks sharp and you are speeding, the cops will pull you over no matter what color it is!

Having read through this thread on Caliber colors, I've noticed not one mention of our choice -- yellow!! I personally wouldn't buy a yellow car if it was half-priced, but the wife was all for it, so....now, a couple of weeks and a thousand miles later, I've really come to appreciate such a way out color choice to compliment the pretty distinctive styling of our AWD R/T. Try it....you might like it!!!
