Good choice, we had an SL Wagon last year. At the time you could only get Silver or WR Blue. I at the time would have had a black one if they were available. Having said that I really like the new Crystal Grey, there was a wagon in the showroom when we bought our Legacy - it looked very nice.

In order of preference.....




Not sure if blobs come in white, but this would probably go before CG if it does...


I know it's a new colour this year, but I think CG is actually quite dull. Way too close to ordinary silver, should have been more gunmetal/pewter like the RB5 IMHO. Biggest benefit will be it looking clean the longest.
For me, black, Prodrive springs, 19" OZ 'legs, PPP, Whiteline set-up, driving lights and maybe when it's set up right I might do tints, STi scoop and corner aero splitters with Scott Lowe splitter, rear spoilers and an MRO grille.

I'd buy a black one. We looked at black and CG before buying the Forester. The CG was too close to silver in some lights and just looked like a washed out gold in others.

As someone said above the CG should have been closer to the grey on the RB5. My dealer told me a lot of people feel the same.

We bought black.

Crystal Grey - black is a nightmare to keep clean... But when it's clean, it is stunning
