Hmmm. I like the colors on the OBW (but have not compared to the Crosstrek). Perhaps this is because the Crosstrek had a more recent design. I really like the OBW in green.

 

Yeah... Crosstrek has some cool colors. I like the "Sun Blaze Pearl" (orange).

 

I really don't like red cars, but a red wilderness would look neat.

 

I got my OBW in white. I like the color, reminds me of a Stormtrooper.
It also looks pretty good in green and grey.
