It's my go-to color. I like the way it looks (especially on the Aero-equipped early cars with lower body work), and it hides both dirt and paint imperfections wonderfully.
A second choice for hiding road dirt would be Silver. The darker you go, the more it'll show up... Although those gold Toyota Tacomas do a nice job of both hiding dirt and looking like gold trucks. The former a good thing, the later a bad thing (IMHO).
I just bought a dark blue Aero wagon. I'm up for the task of keeping a dark metallic polished, but after my Cirrus white 9000 Aero, it'll be a bunch more work.
Cheers,
~Peter
