I would go with Montego. Its a beautiful rich blue. The lighter interior and black trim would look really good. I think colored cars as opposed to silver, white and black show less dirt, swirls, scratches and all that junk. To me silver is your average color that you see all over. Montego would stand out and turn heads.

The lighter a color the less seeing swirls. I love Montego and Monaco but any color like Silver, White, Cashmere won't show swirls. I will get Alpine because my current BLACK car drives me nuts for many reasons not just swirls. Having to wash in the shade early in the morning before it gets hot out. Dust that shows very easily. TOO many negatives with dark colors. Good luck, I suggest Silver. I won't get silver because the 3 cars before my current BLACK car were all silver.

Since I ordered silver/coral I guess I'll vote for that. I hate swirls.

I went with Montego. Neither are really for me, but both are attractive combos. Either way, it'll be nice car. I'm on my second car straight with silver, so it a bit of a tired color for me. Had you said SGM with coral leather, that would have been my pick.
