What colors DO you want to see on it, then?

As for me, I think more cars NEED some colors that will open up your eyes a little. It gets a little boring ( especially with all the cars I look at and review ) to see the same old stuff and the same old colors in the brochure color-plates, vehicle after vehicle.......silver, gray, dark blue, burgundy, gold, black, and white. It's like watching a bunch of old ladies play Bingo at the firehouse.

GM, for all its other faults ( and there are plenty of them ) is actually better then the average automaker when it comes to some refreshing changes from the same old me-too colors.

Everything they have now except THIS ORANGE. I like bright colors on sports car including red & yellow, but not this orange. Make it a metallic orange(like that one on the 350Z for example) & it should work a lot better IMO.

In that case, take a look at the new Dodge Challenger......Metalflake orange with flat-black hood sections. ( those flat-black sections are actually not paint but simply UN-painted areas where the black carbon-fiber shows through...an interesting concept ) .
