Ok everyone, here's the lowdown on colors. I consider myself an expert, because I've owned every color car on the spectrum. So here goes...
Red is great if you don't mind polishing and waxing your car every week because it fades very quickly.
Black is great if you don't mind washing it every 2 days because every spec of dirt shows up.
Yellow is great if you don't mind the attention it attracts especially from law enforcement who loves to give speeding tickets to yellow cars.
Blue is great if you don't mind being called a Subaru WRX/STI wanna be.
White is great if you you're an accountant with no personality.
Which leads to the winner... Silver! It maintains its color with little maintenance, reflects heat and it goes well with my Raiders Garb.

You really have to see the colors in person to be sure. When I first saw pics of the Evo, I wanted the Apex Silver...but as soon as I saw that Tarmac Black Evo at the dealership, I changed my mind...even my wife agrees that the black one is the best...it looks lean and mean, and at night...dude...it's soooo sweet!
Just a few more days until I close on my mortgage refi...then it's EVO TIME!!!

When I got mine the dealer had 2 yellows & a black which had just rolled off the truck. No contest, I got the black, even though they said they would do better on the price of a yellow. I prefer stealth, and this car sticks out enough as it is with that swing set out back 
Plus I think the black looks a whole lot meaner

The main trouble with black of course is it shows defects more than any other color, especially lighter shades like silver & white.
