After owning my car for 2 months I'm still wondering what color it is... when I saw it at the dealers I was just hooked and didn't even ask for the color name. I was there wanting a white sx but that one sold the day before I got there. if you or anyone can shed some light on my color it'd be greatly appreciated!

 

That's the color I got!

Graphite Metallic!!!!

 

corsa blue!

 

Great thread OSX

I know the feeling....no left pull, even after tire rotation, otherwise just the usual noises

 

I got the Platinum Graphite... thought I would like it and do okay, but now wish I had the Satin Metal after seeing it later. I got less than 500 miles on it if anyone wants to trade ... EX non-turbo with PP and TP.

 

My SX is also Platinum Graphite, and I think it looks great! I prefer it to the Satin Metal because in the sun the Satin Metal picks up hints of beige and tan. I have received so many compliments on my Platinum Graphite, and I am very happy with my choice. I think you should reconsider!

 

Interesting how this is breaking down.

 

I am surprised by the number of spicey reds. I have not seen another on the road. Every time I think I see one, it is a lexas!

 

I too am surprised by the # of reds. I've only seen 2 or 3 others on this forum. Where are the rest? Show yourselves!!! have seen none on the road. Havent seen any optimas in a couple weeks actually.

Spicy Red and lovin it

Some of the more amazing rides I have seen in our forums are spicy red.

So far, Snow White's in the lead! Guess all the other colors must be the Dwarfs

 

My first choice was satin metal, but I couldn't find it with all the options/wheel choice I wanted. Settled for the graphite instead.

My previous cars included a silver caprice and a red camaro. I'm done with flashy car colors that stand out. The emphasis this time was something that blends in as much as possible.

 

I have Platinum graphite and love it.

This picture was taken the day after I bough it, two weeks ago. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/251542_10100647878019151_10014984_61144713_1723276_n.jpg

This picture was taken two days ago after I washed/waxed/detailed/conditioned the interior etc.

By the way they had Satin metal at one of the dealers and I have to say I didn't care for it up close. the color does not flow with the car's style at all and just looked awkward.

 

Actually I have the satin metal tech/prem...the works, and I feel just the opposite. I bought my daughter a red Forte May 29. On June 1 I went back to the dealer for something, don't remember, and was considering trading my lincoln ls in for an eco forte in pearl white. I walked up and down the lanes of optimason one side and Fortes on the other, and all the optima's were drab solid colors. Save for the pearl white...they all seemed to be just sitting there, bland. I took a turn to the next lane and was struck by the satin metal optima. Ok, I went home, got my wife, brought her back and made a deal on the car...without even a test drive. I didn't even sit in the car before I pulled it off the lot, after having signed for it. I have not been disappointed. I think that dark silver (satin metal) contrasts perfectly with the gloss black accents. I've seen on the websites that others have the same color model/options, but my wife and I have yet to find one. I do have to say, I've seen the pearl white model and it does look very nice. To each his own, so we can all stay happy.

 

lets get this back up and see how many updated colors we have now

 

My '11 SX is a loaded Satin Metal and love it.

 

Corsa Blue!!!!!

 

Snow white pearl EX with the optima wheels chromed.

 

See my signature line...

I love my platinum graphite. I couldn't take my eye off of it at the dealership.

 

The blue Optima's here in Australia are known as "Santorini Blue" I guess thats similar to the Corsa Blue.

 

Talk to the sig.

I almost went with the snow white pearl (Beautiful!!), but the SM grew on me the more and more I stared at it.

 

I thought the metal bronze looked sweet, but went with the Ebony Black.

 

Platinum Graphite here. I had a choice between this and the Satin metal sitting next to it. I've already owned a silver car, and a black one, so now I went for something between the two. I don't regret it at all, I love this color and I haven't seen a single Optima in this color on the road.

 

I haven't seen a single 2011 Optima. Any color.. And I drive 65 miles one way to work from Baltimore to VA on I-95 and 495 around the DC Beltway. Trying to figure that out..

 

In the sig. Nearly did a Dark Cherry LX, but figured in 6 years it'd look like a rusty scab, so the Black EX it was.
