Glacier Frost Mica? Too Girly? Too Flashy? Perfect?
This is the one color (as I look for a car) that I really can not decide upon.
I went by Tustin to see it at night and the guy told me my wife will love it because it is a "chick color". That did not help my decision...
At the same time I am wondering if it might be a bit too flashy as time goes by.
I have read some responses on the forum but for the last time, let me hear some opinions about this color...I personally see it different everytime I look at it and in a way I like that but in another way I dont...
Does anyone see resell problems with this color in the future?
If you talk to 10 dealers, 5 will say dont buy it and 5 will say its their top seller (even though around 5% come in this paint color)
I am torn between this color and the silver ...
This post is not intended to insult anyones taste, I am just trying to get some feedback from the group -

I'm partial to white cars.
I've owned the following cars all
'90 Blazer Whie
'91 Camry Super White
'93 Acura Vigor Super White
'98 Toyota Land Cruiser Natural White
'01 Acura TL White Diamond Pearl
'04 Toyota Land Cruiser Natural White
With the RL, I wanted something different and I went with Carbon Grey. That said, I sometimes I wish I went white. A friend of mine has the the same color that you're at, and I think it looks sharp.

Too "1950's Kitchen Appliance" for me. And it doesn't flatter the lines of the GS350. Maybe I just haven't seen it under the right light.
Mercury Metallic gives a classier look, especially with a black interior.

Do they make a color that makes the "ghetto people" run away when they see you drive up?
I dont think there is a 2 tone black and white for the GS 350 is there?

Glacier frost was one of my top choices (along with black, flint mica and silver). I liked the way the Glacier color changed depending on the time of day and outside environment. It's a very nice color...and so much easier to maintain than black

TOO GIRLY!!!!!!!! I don't think so.... (if so, then I'm girly)
I'm sick of silver... Seen and driven too many of them. I get this "accord~ish" feel when I see a stock Silver one... no offense...
(PS.. the blue tape was temporary for a drive out to Vegas to prevent rock chips... It's not one of my "mods"...)

I love GFM!! You know what's funny? All the GFM cars I see on the road here (IS & GS), All driven by........MEN! Strangel, I see more girls in Black Onyx... 
I get comments about my color ALL the time. Plus I get people rubber neckin' everytime I drive by. I absolutely love this color! I love how it changes, I always get people asking me what color it is.

THanks for the answers...
I was not implying it was "girly" but that threw me for a loop when the dealer told me it was a chick color.
I was out there today staring at it for a good 10 minutes and it the light, it looks like only a hint of blue where the body lines are. From 30 feet away it looks like light grey or was I seeing something.
