    +2 here. Unless you wash and wax your car on a very regular basis or perhaps use a car cover, stay away from black. Our Accord, Tribute and Strada are all black. The Accord is always kept under wraps when not in use and is only used a few times a week. The Tribute is a daily driver and always under the sun. There are quite a number of very visible (white-colored) scratches- catastrophic effects from parking in the Chinatown (Binondo) area. The roof also very clearly shows rain marks. The Strada is almost always on the move and often out of town, which also means it is almost always dirty. This car is rarely washed, and so unlike the silver Santa Fe which hid dirt and mud well, this could be seen from far away!

    I'd go with the grey if you don't mind it being a less impressive color. Otherwise go for white.

    *Retz: My budget is stretched way thin as it is. Spending another P15K for Pearl White is unfortunately out of the question.

    I'm leaning towards Dark Grey actually. i kinda want the black strip running between the foglights to stand out. It doesnt do so with the black color...

    Factored in na po yung discount. In fact, factored in na yung "fleet discount" that my company is able to get from Toyota.

    black attracts white dirt, and white attracts dark dirt.
    to me, the most maintenance-free colors are silver or gold. kahit 2 weeks na, hindi pa rin mukhang marumi..
    yun lang nga, silver and gold are never spankin' shiny, no matter how you try..

    Owned a black car before keeping it shiny and clean was like my part time job hehe

    White is very low maintenance very easy to maintain my cents

    Agree on this. Mas madali pa nga linisan yung Pearl White na Innova namin than my blaze red sedan. Sa white kahit punas-punas lang okay na. Di mo na gaanong kailangan problemahin yung swirl marks.

    Dark Grey na sir. Actually, yan ding 2 colors na yan pinagpipilian ko if ever na fort ang kukunin namin. Pero mas lamang sa kin yung Dark Grey. Pero kung sobrang maalaga ka naman sa kotse, ok din ang black.

    Those are my thoughts actually. I hardly see the Dark Grey in the streets though. Was hoping someone would post their pics of both black and dark grey...

    Thanks number001! Dark grey isnt as flashy as they come but it does look more practical.

    Looks like the color has been decided for me. Dark grey will only be available by end of June. Para di ma-delay, I'll go for Extreme Black. Mahirap nga i-maintain but it's definitely elegant.
