We're planning on buying a 2010 EX AWD tomorrow, and we're torn between Alabaster Silver and Polished Metal Metallic.
Aesthetics aside, silver is the safe bet for us...we know how well this color hides dirt and dings. We're the "buy new and drive it into the ground" types, so we'll likely have this vehicle for 10+ years. While I'm pretty fanatical about mechanical maintenance, we're not going to baby this vehicle - gravel roads and dogs to the beach will be common.
But...we just love the PMM. I know it's only been out for a relatively short time, but can anyone give feedback on how well the finish looks as it encounters day-to-day wear? Do the dings/chips show up significantly? My concern is, it's a little too much like a black finish - which while beautiful, shows every little imperfection, dirt or otherwise.
