I prefer black for all cars, really. I think Ford had it right when he first started.

Oh well, I drive a silver car and it's an acceptable color.

Not red IMO

I just don't like red cars what-so-ever, except on a Ferrari and even then I'd rather have another color.

My vote goes for silver or black.

IMO opinion ferraris only have one color choice and that is FERRARI RED. Everything else black or according to country racing colors EXCEPT Lambos which look good in crazy colors for some reason.

Yellow. has to be yellow.

my non-sensical reason ... you can buy other cars in red, blue, metallic, poo brown .. yadda yadda .. but if im hemorraging cash for an upper echeleon car .. better give me a non-mainstream color: Yellow.

Mazda makes some yellow normal cars, though. Then again, no one really buys Mazdas so it's still non-mainstream.

I'd go for red, not the most practical color but sports cars arent supposed to be.

nobody can beat this car for over 10 years
Says you. Thanks for proving my point.
You can fvck up any number of beautiful machines just by making them yellow.

point is, yellow ain't that bad. afterall, the yellowbird isn't a yellowbird if it's red or black.

This makes no sense to me.
Just about every car made is available in yellow. Except BMW I think. And it wouldnt suprise me if they made some yellow's.

You might have to look around a while but anything you want can be found in yellow.
Which scares the crap out of me because yellow is, in fact, THAT bad.
