I've always loved red cars. Every car I own will be red unless it doesn't come in red, then it would likely be black. Each car in which I had a choice of color was red.

Ultramarine because my top 3 choices were Ultramarine, Firestorm, and Whiteout, in that order. My dad's SUV is red, and my mom's car is white. Going with the colour that wasn't already on the driveway, plus picking my top colour, was just a no brainer at that point.

I would have gotten Ultramarine if they'd had one with a manual. Second choice would have been Firestorm, but again, only automatics, and it looks better in the pictures than in person. So I got a Raven. It looks good, especially in direct sunlight when the metal flake shines, but I've washed it 4,251,163 times since May.

Only thing I wish sometimes is that I got a WRB BRZ. My last car was a EBP Prelude, love the color.
Yup, this is why I went with Asphalt. I love how it matches the wheels and it's just so much easier to keep clean compared to my previous car, a uniblack jetta. After my jetta I told myself that I would never buy a black car again. I can't stand swirls.

Asphalt, because when I was young I saw my first exotic in a dark grey. I knew I needed it in my life when I got older and could buy my first car.

you'd be pretty hard pressed to find cars that don't come in red as a colour option so i think you're in luck

metallic grey's, whites, blacks, reds and blues are the standard colours for 95% of the vehicles you see on the road today.. and if you ever look in a scrap yard.. those are pretty much the only colours you see

greens, yellows and other exotic colours are very hard to come by and had this car come in a lambo lime green colour it would have been my choice hands down for this car

i may even wrap this car in that colour in the near future

Hot Lava, because I like orange and I've never seen a color like that on a car before. It's so dynamic: reddish copper in the shade and highlights of gold in the sun. Mmm-mmm!

I considered red but I'm tired of red sports cars. Not that I think it looks bad on the FR-S, but I wanted something different. Raven would have been my second choice.

I chose Raven cause it's a very conservative color. If I'm driving fast I don't want my car to be pin pointed out and stand out from the crowd. It's a pain in the ass to detail you see swirls and crap when you wash your car but I don't regret getting it. Plus a black car is boss

I went with the asphalt because i love the color, and i also wanted something dark so that i wouldn't attract unwanted attention. I also like the fact that it doesn't get super dirty like a black car would, mine stays fairy clean. I had thought about going with a firestorm, but didn't want attention drawn to it everywhere i'd go.

Raven because i wanted a mean look, over a sporty look. I love seeing reflections of it while driving at night.
