White - looks like an ambulance.
Yellow - TAXI!!
Red - I need you to look at me.
Silver - Very nice, but not enough metalica
Blue - Big color in Europe

Black - My personal favorite.

I read in a magazine that the black ones are faster.

Red looks Great! Black looks Sweet, Silver is most practical! Just depends on what you want I guess. I wish the blue were here tho!

Barry, that looks a bit dark for BRG, my previous car was BRG...



Anyways as far as stock colors go, this is my feel:

Silver(&Red): Classic roadster combination, silver by itself (w/Blk) is rather common, but add the red and it becomes very bold and sporty. Shows off the lines, highlights the accents, remains "clean" longer. I get lots of comments on the the silverstone metallic because it's more unique than the usual silver.

White: I like it, some hate it. It's very clean and headlight/grill accents pop. I don't see too many white ones, this would've been my 2nd choice. Can be viewed as pimpish. Flat color doesn't show lines that well.

Red: Nice albeit a little too loud of a statement for my taste. Shows lines and accents well.

Blue: Also really nice, I'd seriously consider this color if available in the US. Shows lines well but accents get lost a little. A grey interior would look pretty sharp in this.

Yellow: Same as red, loudish statement, too much "look at me" factor. I think it looks pretty good tho.

Black: looks great clean... but spends most of it's time not clean. Shows scratches and swirls, doesn't show lines that well and accents are lost. Metallic Blacks are the only ones I'd ever consider after having 2 black cars. Love the red interior tho.

I love my silver tons, but I would get the blue if it was available in the U.S.

Let's think for a minute... do red seats show lines of a car? no. What was that statement in reference to a previously mentioned car color? Yes.

Ta-da!
