Default POLL: what color is everyone and their mama's getting?

I personally have decided on Smokey Granite Mica myself. I Just wanted to know what percentage of people are getting what color. On my last car, the G35, I had Diamond Graphite. Nice color, but everyone and their mama's had the same color. I started to not like it that much, its one of the reason I am getting rid of it. I searched to see if there was a poll already but couldn't find one, so
I decided to start a poll so members can decide what colors to avoid.

Nobody choose gold or sage…interesting. Gold is crap…but sage isn’t too bad, it’s certainly a head turner. Look like you can expect a credit deal on sage if it sits on the dealer lot for a month. If I get $3-4K off MSRP, I’d get sage. I wouldn’t take gold even if they paid me.

The most popular colors will be tungsten/silver and black. Those are timeless colors that are always popular. However, smokey granite is the way to go.

I glad I went with Smokey.... I won't see too many of those on the road. Now I just have to wait for it to come in. Smokey also has shades of blue and green when you look at it in different angles which I thought was really cool. Did anyone else notice that it changes colors?

Im torn. At first it was matador red. All the salesman kept telling me it was the best looking for the car. Then I saw glacier frost outside on a sunny day and was like wow. The car seems to look better with the lighter colors, you can see more details of the car. Light cars seem to lack a little personality though. Im ordering my car in less than 2weeks. I have a red IS300 now, and I really want a change. I saw the matador red 350. At first I said this is it, but I wasn't as enthused the second time around. Sounds like a game day decision on the color for me.

I ordered a Matador Red w/ Sterling interior IS350 w/ NAV & ML.

Loved that color since the first time I saw it on a GS and when I saw it was available on the IS, I couldn't resist.

My second choice would be Tungsten Pearl which is very sharp but I fear will be too commonplace.
