I guess my general displeasure with it is carrying over from one of the things I hate about most "corporate" paint color selections on new cars these days...cars being sold in your pick of a whole 5 or 6 "colors", with four of them always being white/black/silver/gray. BO-Ring! Just my $.02 -R
And you end up like the guy with the Pastel Blue or Salmon colored car... lol


Silver, red, black and blues are "safe bet" colors, but for a reason.. they look great and have stood the test of time. Odd colors are great today but become the equivilent of an "avacado green" refrigerator down the line.

Hell, in 10 years the orange on Penny might make her look dated, but a nice silver car will most likely still appeal to many (including the owner).
