Default Can't decide on a color!

Looking to buy a 2016 or possibly a 2017. I've always loved white care and was planning on buying the Durango in white as they look great in pictures.

So today I go test drive an R/T which I loved. But to my dismay the white is flat, with no metal flake. But aren't there two whites? The Dodge website says there's also am Ivory white but I can't seem to find any info or pics on it. Is it also flat or is it maybe metallic? Anyone?

Ask the dealer where you are purchasing from. They should know. If not, the Dodge website lists two whites, Ivory Pearl Tri-Coat and Bright White. If they don't have one on the lot you will have to order one or have one transferred from another dealer.

I have the metallic black on my RT, but recently parked next to a white one with the blacktop package. The white and black really does look sharp.

I am ordering new Durango next year. I would like to buy the "Black Forest Green" or "Maximum Steel Metallic" colour. Unfortunately these colours aren't usual in Europe and there isn't too much pictures of them.

I haven't seen any real-world examples of the maximum steel vs granite crystal, but from their website the steel looks more like a midnight blue. And depending on what part of the website you click on, the granite looks either dark grey or very light grey. So I have no clue which one I want.

I think I have seen maybe one green Durango in WI. It's a beautiful color but very rare. Granite is a dark grey, maximum steel is a cooler dark gray with a bluish hue.

White with blacktop get more compliments and turns more heads than anything I've ever owned. From kids to grown *** men. People stop and stare when I pull up. You'd think I pulled up in a Ferrari.

Nope. Just a little $40k Dodge. All I did was slap some "Frembos" (caliper covers) on and called it good.

Yes the top of my list is white with the blacktop package. My only hesitation is which white, the bright white or would I like ivory better. Secondly as much as I like the blacktop I really don't like black rims. To me black rims look like those generic black rims that are missing hubcaps. I like bright rims, I think it makes the car stand out. So I'm ready to buy but little details like that are holding me back.

Also, can't get blacktop package with a citadel and V8. RT V8 or citadel/limited v6 only.
