Don't know about you but I'm tired of the same old boring silver, red, etc... I wonder if any manufacturers offer a metallic copper, same hue as a new penny?

Anyway, post your favorite here...

if you want something that's metallic copper, try le mans sunset from a 350Z, the PT cruiser also has a very similar color. if you want somethign more yellow/goldish, try futura yellow that vw offered for a 2 years or so, BMW also has a metallic yellow, but i don't remember the name at this point.

VW offers a wide assortment of colors, yellows, greens, blues, etc. one of my favs was matchstick red which look awesome.

Saturn had what you wanted a few years back.


Ford did, too. Although it looked pink in some lighting,

I usually dislike yellow cars simply because most cars out there can't pull it off. It's kind of like pink shirts on men. But the Porsche 911 GT2 pulls off yellow (Speed Yellow) damn nicely.

White is nice but surprisingly difficult to maintain. My SO's car is shiny white like a brand new bleached shirt (Subaru Aspen White Metallic to be specific) and it shows dirt and imperfections worse than black IMO. Looks great when clean and all waxed up though. :)

to anyone that likes subaru paint.

its one of the biggest complaints on nasioc.

Where white is concerned, I LOVE Cadillac's pearl white. It looks perfect as long as there is no other white on the vehicle, like raised white lettering or whitewalls. Black would probably be one of my top favorite's, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to own it!

I see a lot of Nissans in that color... it's ugly. I hate white, second only to the teal or aqua or whatever similar color GM made 10s of thousands of Cavaliers and similar cars in.

Black looks good but it's hard to maintain.
