[Hado]

All

I know this question has been asked before, but I just wanted to set up a poll so we could track the results

First time I have set up a poll so a I hope it works

Kind regards

Merlot Red AWD here B)

Silver because it hides scratches, swirls and dirt well. AWD for extra traction when I go onto construction sites.

I do think the graphite and merlot klugers look amazing when detailed well (Holmesie is a prime example).

[jaenschw]

My favourite color is Graphite but I ended up getting the Silver Pearl since it was on the showroom floor ready to go and the price I got was a little cheaper than ordering a new (Graphite) one.

Hi all

First post - picked up our new KX-S on Wednesday and no complaints at all - except the placement of the bluetooth microphone.

Previous car was a black VTII Clubsport, so when given the choice my wife and I went for the Crystal Pearl as we have vowed never again to own a black car!

Since Wednesday we have had a few short bursts of rain and its been great in the morning to walk out and see a clean looking white car rather than a filthy looking black one covered in dirt. The dirt rain we have had for the last few year has been great for car wash businesses and hell for dark cars!!

Back to the car - its a FWD model as it will be urban assault duties only. No need for it to climb a mountain or forge a river, but (controversy) with those wheels/tyres I don't think its really designed for that. I have taken advantage of being in a higher riding car already, climbing over a gutter to claim a car space that in the Clubsport I would not have even noticed..

Anyways, enough of a hello rant. Great forum, I have enjoyed looking through the existing posts and they have answered many questions I had.

My Wife and I are looking to buy in the next month or two and we're having trouble choosing between Merlot Red, Graphite and Tidal Blue.

Our other car is blue so the red or grey is more likely.

I'm leaning more towards Merlot Red though Graphite does look great too.

Time will tell I guess

Red ones go faster...

Not according to Rice Racing, the blue ones seem to be the fastest :P

Welcome to the club :)

Black looks great when clean, but you're right, it is so much hard work.

I'm with you on the Black/White. My previous car was jet black and a real pain to keep clean as every bit of dirt, dust or pollen was very obvious. I gave it to my wife when we got the Kluger. I'm responsible for the car washing, so it's still a pain to keep clean!

Hence the choice of Crystal Pearl for the Kluger. It can go three or four times as long between car washes.

[Rusty Bucket]

I voted grey. We are going to sell my wifes 03 Ascent and buy her parents Kluger which is this colour!

[fish475]

It matches my blue trimmed Boat, so it's Tidal Blue all the way for me.

Hi all,

6 months with my New Kluger Grande, I like the blue but I love the red, and I am sure it goes faster.

Blue is quicker in the Subaru camps I hear

Mine is Graphite (KX-R / AWD) but it is yet to arrive late this month. Can't wait to get hands into it!

[Colonel]

I wanted the Crystal Pearl but my wife thought "silver looks more expensive". I had no say. Silver's not bad but white would have been bettere IMO.

[ktr01]

We've had our Crystal Pearl KX-S for 3 weeks, very happy! I liked the Tidal Blue too but the white looks great with the black leather interior.

[Kesawi]

I find white looks too corporate.

[Snowy68]

I have a Silver Pearl KX-R AWD. Ex demo, so did not really choose, but really happy with it. Doesn't show the dirt. It replaced a dark green Camry which was a pain to keep clean.

[Hado]

Suprised Graphite is around a third of all cars - I see a lot more of this colour, but I thought it was just because I have one.

Maybe with a sample of only 54 (at the time of this reply) it is not enough to get a true indication of popularity.

[PaulG]

White seems to attract bird ****. Or is that just me?

[Drewfus61]

Great idea for a poll! I drive a graphite one as well and it seems they are everywhere - i guess the poll goes a long way to confirm it.

Looks as if Toyota has dropped the Tidal Blue (Blue Streak Metallic) colour in the new 2010 Highlander model. :o

Mr Moderator - Can you please pin this poll so we keep getting the votes from new members?

I went the merlot red. Originally wanted the tidal blue but theree were none avail unless I wanted to wait for several months. Found a merlot one at a dealer interstate (Melbourne) already fitted with factory side steps, nudge bar and roof racks. Got these in the deal for $1500. Very happy with the merlot. Our other car is a carribean blue 2007 camry ateva. And yes....the red ones do go faster!!!!!
