Haha it better be a damn good reason to ever get a gold or fucking champagne car. Jesus. For an old lady in her Sienna cruising the Palm Springs strip or something.

If you turn into an old lady, there's a spot in a vegas show for you.

I've always owned 'safe' or dark coloured cars - white, midnight blue, dark burgundy, dark grey metallic for the BRZ (and dark graphite grey for our Subaru Outback), but my taste has changed as I grow older. I always thought that greys were more 'mature' and 'classy' but realized who cares about that? I was really torn between WRB and DGM, and picked DGM. But when my wife saw another BRZ in WRB, she said 'Maybe you should have bought the blue - it's nice'.

I used to wear black t-shirts almost exclusively when I was younger, but started wearing bright colours a couple of decades ago - influenced by my wife.

So, when I was picking out a colour for my C8, I really fell in love with Sebring Orange Tintcoat, but thought 'white looks classy - maybe I should get white'. I finally picked the orange and I'm really happy I did. It's a sports car - bright looks right!

I believe the chart is a bit misleading. I think what it is showing are the most common car colors on the left, and the state where that car color's percentage of overall sales is the highest, but is not necessarily the highest percentage in that state.

So, in the case of Rhode Island, they buy 11.65% of all their cars in blue, but that means in the other 49 states it may be 11.60%. It's also very likely in Rhode Island Black and White make up a much larger percentage than blue

Or maybe it's just me that didn't understand that from the beginning...

Chart makes no sense *at all*. You're telling me *purple* cars are the most popular in Michigan? At only 0.83% of the car population? I don't know what they're trying to convey here but it *can't* actually be the most popular car colors in those states.

"9 out of 10" was obviously a bit of hyperbole, but anyway a quick search shows that Hawaii does have the lowest percentage of cars that are not in the colorless black/white/grey/silver range at 17.1% https://www.iseecars.com/most-popular-car-colors-study

That's what I was saying. The chart says that of the 50 states, Purple is most popular in Michigan where 0.83% of all cars sold are purple, not that it is the most popular car color in Michigan.

I used to be a fan of the "classic" colors depending on the car brand or country of origin.

My MINI was british racing green. My Datsun roadster is white. My BRZ is white*. My Ferrari SF90 is red. My 911 GT3 is silver. You get the idea.

But maybe I'll change it up with whatever my next car happens to be.

*I realize that you could argue that WRB is the classic Subaru color, but white is kind of the Japan sports car color.

Must be the car they're shipping around on the pallet.

Wonder if those seats would fit in the first gen?

So I guess the cupholder is only for the automatics.

Too bad they don't test the 2.4lt engines. The EJ design is outdated and not used anywhere outside motorsports.
