Default Limited Colors what do you think will be most popular?

Have not seen the car in real life yet but was wondering which color it would look best in or be the most popular. All the mags seem to show the bright red and there is no doubt black will be popular it always seems to be. Not for me though it is too difficult to keep clean. Not sure the lighter colors like white will look that good on a large sedan? I kind of like the magnetic gray as the middle ground.

Any thoughts?

I bet most are black just because it seems they are building more black than the other colors.

Black...hides the fake vents the best.

Personally not into the red they chose...way too grand prix to me

But the black has got a ton of metallic flake in it, so it looks almost charcoal. The purple-blue would let my brothers tease me about having a purple car. The red seems faded, the orange is too boy-racer for me. Don't really care for the gray. I'm going for white.

For some reason the white is the one color that I haven't sold. All my panther black, all the magnetic gray and the liquid red have sold, but the white hot ones that I have coming haven't been claimed. Don't have any ignition orange coming.

I personally plan on a stealth blue for myself...but I AM a girl.

Based on the amount that have been built, it looks like white will be the most common color (if not the most "popular"), followed by black, then Magnetic Gray. My personal fave is Liquid Red.

Magnetic Grey for me, but I think white with black or gunmetal wheels would look pretty damn good.

I have a Magnetic Grey on "order" for me too. Have had cars/trucks that are white, black, red, blue, wanted something different.
