Tough one.

I love the black but the Crystal Grey also looks damn fine!

Voted for black anyway!

WR Blue - Looks nice, but maybe common and a bit passe, but true to the rallying heritage.

White - I'm undecided, some look good, generally I think white cars look terrible though. Is it jumping on the Golf GTI bandwagon?

Black - Can look good, but I'm used to it more on large German cars. Hard to keep clean.

Crystal Grey - Maybe a bit too anonymous? Doesn't go with gold wheels. I think the darker grey colour available in the US looks better.

I voted WR Blue.

Anything but blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that white and black are the best but they're a pain to keep clean.

I've got a crystal grey 05 sti (with gold wheels!) and love it!

White looks the best on those pics.

the black and grey would look so much better with different colour wheels. if i was getting one myself i'd get a black one (without gold wheels)

Talking

I've had my purhase requoest approved by the mrs for august on the condition (in her exact words!)

its not WR Blue - attracts too much attention, not silver - every car is silver, not Crystal grey - is too silver and is like dad family car colour, not white - too policey, not Red - doesnt suit it (i disagree)

so black it is then, a small price to pay really, both of us happy!!

I'm with GazTheHat with the black, quite like the grey too, not that I could afford an 06.Very few cars look good in white to me.
