Yeah.... but back in 04 you could get any color V you wanted as long as it was Raven or Platinum. I'm real partial to my Platinum, haven't washed it for a week and it still looks great from 25 feet!!!

No mater what color, I sure do dig my hotrod Caddy!!!!

PLATINUM. Definitely THE best color on a V!!! Wash it once a week....looks good all the time. Can't see scratches, swirls, rock chips or dirt without a close eye. Besides.....ladies like platinum. lol

Black is my choice, but if you had a silver with the flat black i did on my V, it would look pimp.

I second that one brother...

I have detailers come to my home every week to wash my black V, and it is still extremely hard to keep clean, and the swirls on the hood are hard to avoid... even with regular waxing, the swirls do come...


I think black LOOKS much better and cleaner, but silver is much EASIER to keep up and is better for a daily driver. I love my black, but HATE the fight I have with trying to keep it clean.

Black if you have a garage. Platinum if you don't.

i'd like to see a "murdered" cts-v, i think flat black would look amazing... anyone good at photoshop and can make it happen?? flat black with flat black wheels and a chrome lip would be pretty nice!

I like both. I bought LP since it was going to be my DD and the black TB SS was a bitch in the winter to clean...

My SS sits in the garage so I don't mind cleaning it so much.
