I agree, buying a NEW car, one should get the exact color they choose. I did so with my FRS, chose what I like best of all the colors offered. Buying a used car we sometimes get the car we want, yet not in our favorite color. Buying new is a different story.

My Mustang is silver. It's turned out to be a very practical color. Does not show the dirt much, and reflects light almost as well as white...keeping car cool in summer.

My personal taste: I hate charcoal Grey color on cars. Seems to be very popular with men. I don't know why, as it is the same color as pavement, so difficult to notice cars this color on the road, or at intersections. It's certainly a non color to me. Why not have a car which actually has a real color...like red, blue, green, etc.

Personal choice in a new 2017 model: BRZ, as it's base model is cheaper than the 86, Like it's front bumper better, and like the fact it has retained the red stitching on it's interior. Love the idea of a little extra power in the 2017 models, and the fact they've attempted to get rid of some of the torque dip. Don't like the fact they've changed the rear end ratio, yet not changed the transmission ratios. My FRS already has pretty high revs at speeds of 75-90 mph, the new model worse in high revs, and poorer gas mileage. Guess I'd have to drive a 2017 model and see. So far, don't like also, the fact they've softened it's ride.

Are we off on a tangent now...well good.
