A lot of what will help/make the decision is the color the car is.  For 
example, if we get a BRG (fingers crossed) it'll probably be a more 
laid-back name - neither cute nor intimidating, Silver would probably be 
more speed-related, red would be something along the lines of "How did I 
get talked into a red Miata" (No offense to red owners out there - I 
simply don't think it looks appropriate.  Merlot, on the other hand...), 
and black would be something nasty, for sure.  Another factor is plates.  
We're thinking of vanity plates ("MASQUE", most likely, but "SAGE" if 
Kirsten ends up being the primary driver), but I would be just as happy 
getting standard issue - or keeping the old style blue on orange plates 
on Thunderbunny if we get a black one.  

Ramble, off.
