Platinum white, after reviewing ALL the colors, black was out after my last car-dirty and dusty before I got home from the car wash. Wife did not want red, the blue had a purple tinge I don't like, earth and silver tones are not for me so it's white. AWD for Manitoba winters, did lots of research for about 3 or 4 months on all kinds of SUV's, drove the CRV, looked at Murano, drove all 3 Ford SUV's, talked to owners of many different brands. What sold it for me was the technology available (bought the limited with almost every option available), local dependable dealer, neighbour who works there and of course I sold my car beforehand so I could make a better cash deal. Drove an '06 Cadillac black CTS-V before this-400 HP, 6-speed manual, etc. fast fun car bust can be pricey to maintain. Had a maxima before that, also with a stick. Decided it was time to grow up a bit, and enjoy the advantages of AWD, better ground clearance and more room for,stuff and for grand-kids. Away for the wknd, and computer at home is on the fritz 1pix at a future date.

Just brought home my first SUV after 9 years of sport sedans. Got tired of high maintenance costs of high performance cars, need some luxury, comfort and practicality for prairie winters. Maybe I won't dread the snow so much this year.
