Silver is a popular color... so in the future if you're going to sell the car it might make it easier.

My Corolla is "Cactus Mica" - a light greenish / blueish color... happened to be the last one on sale so I bought it... wasn't really too concerned about the color.
So far, I've noticed about 5 other Corollas with the same color as mine, after having driven about 1,000 miles - so I'd say it definitely isn't a popular color.

Before they came out with Silver Streak Mica in 2005, I wanted the Indigo Ink. It was a tough choice between Silver, Blue, and White...but came down to the fact that I didn't want to always "have" to wash my car every day. But the blue is really sharp IMHO. Anyways I went with Silver since someone in my office already had White.

There is a new shade of silver in 05s and that is only one available. It is called Silver Streak Mica.

i never used to be a red fan, till i saw my Impulse Red corolla...and i fell in love with the color.

it shows pollen way too easily, though...it ends up looking green in the spring.

The last silver toyota that I had the paint chipped. I'd say that super white is the best color out there.
