Go for the Black Sapphire if that's what you like best then so you won't regret it later when you see one.
Matador red itself is the most gorgeous looking paint, would be my #1 choice for the IS250/350, but not necessarily the GS. My favorite colors for the 3GS are the smoky granite, black Sapphire & then Matador.

My GS is Obsidian Black. My previous 5 cars have also been black.
If you are not into washing your car at least once a week as yopu said earlier I would advise that you stay away from dark colors.
A silver would be good as it will not show the dust and dirt as easily.
Just my two cents.
Good luck on your purchase.

ALRIGHT all, just to update you....

I've made my final decision... I went with the Matador Red. It's a gorgeous color as well, will be slightly easier to keep clean...

and Heck I'm a 29 year old single (well... not married anyways) guy, why NOT drive a red car?! :-)

Thanks,

hahaha Frost, I already saw that pic and sent it around to my buddies before making my final decision.

the awesome part is.... it looks even better in person.

Yeah, my original decision was between Matador Red and Black Sapphire... I thought the Black Sapphire was a bit more understated and elegant, whereas the Matador Red was just like, "GIVE ME A SPEEDING TICKET PLEASE"... :-)

So.... hopefully I won't get any tickets. I love the color....

Going back to the original subject of this thread, do you find it really tough to keep clean?

Matador Red is a gorgeous paint, I agree it looks even better in person, I've yet to see a pic that do it justice Good choice

I know it sounds lame... but making that decision feels like I've lifted a ton of bricks off my chest.

I think I was kind of yearning for the red the whole time, but I thought maybe the blue was just... I don't know, the "more right" choice. Black Sapphire is definiltey gorgeous....

but now that I've made the call to the dealer to change the color I have NO DOUBT that I chose the right color for me!!! I'm REALLY excited, I just hope he gets it within the week!! (he thinks he will... :-) :-) :-)

I'M PSYCHED NOW GUYS!!!!

It's funny, I was talking to one of my buddies about my "color dilemna" and he goes.... "I'd love to have that kind of problem" ..... :-)
