I could have flipped a coin between black, white or red ... I really liked the red because it seems it fits the interior the best but the color grabs too much attention for my liking, so black or white seemed to be the ultimate choice. There was a CW car at a dealer nearby but pretty sure along with the paint up-charge they also had a surcharge on that one so I went with a black type R that I got for MSRP. It looks stealthy, sinister and shows off those sexy body lines the best IMO.

I waited a year for red. Took a white one at MSRP for the good deal

Don't have a choice here in Canada, if you are lucky enough to get a car, it's most likely white. If you're really fortunate you might get red, and there's a couple of gray ones as well. The other two colours aren't even offered here yet.

I wanted the ralley red because it is the rarest color. Couldn't find a new one close. Did find a used one on a showroom floor, but the dealer was looking to make they're sales quota on one sale.
I ended up with my second choice. BB. All my other cars are white. So I wasn't going to add another white vehicle to my fleet.

What CW and almost got one but dealer was being way to greedy so I backed out. Ended up falling in love with BB when I saw it in person so that’s what I got!

First choice was White or Black.
Was searching for a good deal on CW but no one was budging, went to the dealer to purchase the black one but i ended up with CW.
I feel the black shows off the body lines so well, and it looks most aggressive in this color (my opinion) but i have a black evo x and i quickly remembered how hard it is to keep clean and any scratches really pop, so i went CW (no regrets)

Fellow Evo X owner, nice. It's a great combo in my opinion.

Type-Rs!
My first choice was Red. I had a deal put together on a CW but they were scumbags and sold it to someone else, so I went to a competing dealer and they told me they had a red with no ETA. I put a deposit down and took delivery about a month later. It all worked out.
