Default Gold color becoming popular again?

I've always loved the uniqueness of my Chardonnay Pearl Metallic SC430, and have wondered if gold-colored cars would eventually be so far "out of fashion" that they would become cool again. Looks like that time has come, according to this article I just read: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...ar/2534951002/

Very nice looking SC430. Many colors go in and out of fashion. My favorite color for the SC is white but I personally think the SC also looks really good in light gold paint.

Is that how you have your SC on Display at the house? Is it on a carousel. Very nice.

Ha! Now that's not a bad idea! No, that's actually my car on "delivery day" from Lexus of Omaha. They have really cool "delivery rooms" set up to get acquainted with your new Lexus.

My SC430 is tucked away securely in my garage for the winter. It's 2 degrees this morning with tons of snow piled up here in Omaha! Can't wait for May to get here!

Yes I know it is cold in Omaha. We do a family Bible Study via Skype with my sister in Omaha and she said it was 7 degrees outside yesterday. It is only 20 degrees here in BV now with a high today of 32 and possible snow by 4 pm?

It’s 8 am in sunny So California, the temperature here in Huntington Beach currently at 57F and expect to rises up to 71F. I’m so glad I am not in Nebraska right now.

It will be a LONG time before Omaha sees a high of 71... Maybe May?

Here's my driveway from yesterday morning after I plowed it... BRRRRRRR!!!

Those were the days. Remember them well. Made lots of money as a kid scooping driveways like yours.

In the Midwest we buy land by the acre not the square inch like you do in CA.

I love my Egyptian Sand SC 430! I get compliments on the color all the time. I think it's a unique version of a gold color. Easiest color to keep clean.

LOVE it!! 2004 SC 430 w/53k

This article is four years old. I still don't see many golden color cars driven by people who are not elderly.

I have a gold one. I’m 50, not quite dead yet. I do get plenty of compliments but they are usually by guys. I’m still waiting for a Victoria secrets model to compliment it.

Ahhh, so your a middle aged guy. I'm 46. But there's a RX350 that I like but it's in satin cashmere metallic. Which is like a gold color. Silver's my color but Moonbeam Beige would do.
