Those cars are super plain and boring, no matter how many fricked up body panels they glue on.

666m wheels are the shite, but not necessarily in that color.


I like the brighter wheels.

It might even be more striking on the interior. Blue, red, and even green were available in even run of the mill vehicles. I am guessing the cost of specialized interior pieces for lower demand pushed the options to the side for the volume vehicles.

I know one thing: car washes would go out of business without black. What a pain in the arse---never again will I buy one.

I saw a bright orange Lamborghini Huracan yesterday in Covington. Can confirm that it was not trashy.

Anytime I see someone with a brightly colored car I think either a woman, or a man who is compensating

This.

Some folks (like myself) who actually give a shite about what we drive prefer a more fun car (Camaro, Mustang, Jeep Wrangler, etc.) over a Camry or Civic. For us people, there's lots of cool color choices.

The wife keeps telling me her next car is an orange or lime green JK. Right the freak on.

I was just looking at the Mustangs and Camaros. There are some pretty sweet colors for the 2018 models.

Average on the roaf cars aren’t as colorful as they were 20 years ago. Speaking from experience. Whatever reason.


Probably some truth to that. UK car colors, but still:



I'm sure it will turn around again, but white will still dominate with company vehicles.
