I realize I am the minority here but I cannot believe people like that green on the special editions. All I think of when I see a dark green car is 90s Dodge Caravan. Also the burnt orange (lava) has never worked for me either.

Most of us associate green with British Racing Green, not Soccer Mom Stoplight Racing Green I think.

When I see a non-performance car with it I think "poser" rather than your.

It's a pretty standard "sports car" key color.

I can' say much though, I know folks love silver or white but the both scream rental car/fleet vehicle to me.

So you don't like the classic British Racing Green color of Aston Martin cars? The Hakone looks like a pretty close shade to that green,and it looks great,imo,but to each their own.

Nope. I dont like British racing green. Any green really.

I am the boring guy that had the choice of ANY COLOR IMAGINABLE to wrap my car in. And I chose matte grey. lol. Again, I realize I am the minority here. Just stated an opinion.

Under fluorescent lights at the dealer it looked really pinkish, but under natural light the colour was spectacular

That was a fun little car
Absolutely FANTASTIC color!!!

I think the acceptance of automatic cars has alot to do the current LBGQT?%#??¿● and automatic driver movements

"Woke" owners drive automatics in support

Not that anything is wrong with being LBQTG?¿¿●

If 2020 has taught us anything, it is, ummmmmm.......

In saying that, automatic transmissions have their place, in trucks, soccer mums SUV's, old muscle cars, and drag cars

An "sports car" with an automatic transmission is like a straight man copping it in the buttocks by another man

I disliked the 2018 Special Edition 860 Supernova Orange. Not that the color was so bad, but the black sticker trim looked like shit and the hood and fenders had orange overspray over a white layer that made it look like a cheap respray job.

Yeah the strips are lame. The one I saw had the strips removed. He also had matte black GT86 emblems which looked nice on the orange.

The 860 edition Orange sucks. Especially considering the engine bay was left white. Looks cheap.

Aside from that, people seem to love or hate the red and lava orange.

Not counting the 860 Orange, I really dislike they hyper blue and yellow and Subaru used for the BRZ. The hyper blue looks like a cheap, de-saturated version of the Focus RS blue, and the shade of yellow Subaru used also looks faded and cheap compared to the one Toyota used on the TRD version.

Some people don't notice or care, but I saw it back at the LA auto show when they first unveiled the yellow and thought it was gross.

Oh, there's nothing divisive about that brz yellow. It sucks universally.

No love for silver. It’s a strategic choice. I personally love black or a deep blue, but they are never clean. My silver car is completely dirty but looks clean from 5ft away. Also hides swirls pretty well. Plus if your a Merc fan it’s the most racing color there is, bare metal to save weight.
