Blue or Grey (ended up getting a 91 MR2)

update: I ended up getting a 1991 MR2 non-turbo. Scroll down for pictures. Thanks for your help everyone. I WAS going to pick blue.

I'm getting an FR-S!!

...after I graduate college.

For the mean time, I'm going to be driving a 2014 Corolla.

I'm torn between the blue & grey one, unless I get an automatic.

I don't want an automatic.

I like the blue one more, but I like the grey one.

I might not like the blue one in a couple of months. My family has 2 grey cars; I've never ben tired of the color.

Which do you guys think? Help a brother out?

Thanks for your honest insight, I really appreciate it! I also agree that the BRZ looks amazing in WRB.

I don't know, to me grey feels a bit like "I drive a car for travelling A-B" while blue adds a little excitement tovthe whole ride..

Personally I would go with blue.

Every new Corolla I've seen has been in that grey color, so it'd be nice to see some more blue ones on the road.

Thanks for your insight! My initial choice was blue & that has a lot to do with it.

The rest of my family likes the gray one so this is really helping me not conform with them

BLUE. Reminds me of this:

Quote:
Tuco: (shouting) God's with us because he hates the Yanks too!
[Riding up to Blondie and Tuco, an officer pats the grey dust from his blue uniform.]
Blondie: God's not on our side because he hates idiots also.

Blue.

Having said that, if you are planning on flipping this thing soon, gray will likely hold a little better value for resale. Neutral colors usually do.

Blue, isn't this a Corolla Sport exclusive color? While the grey is very similar to the dull colors on the regular trims.

Blue. The world has enough bland-colored cars.
