Favourite colours for cars

[10mbc]

Me: I don't understand why everybody wants gray cars.
Also me:

Of course, there is a story behind this picture.
In short: I have ordered a car. Delivery in 8 months. After 1 month I call the dealership and they asked me what was the quoted price for the car? )) In the picture, another dealership, another brand.

So this is my new car. "Dark Teal" as they label it. I bought it from "stock" so I did not pick the color, but it is quite nice. It's now on temporary plates until I get all the papers done. It was not really on stock, I had to wait about 3 weeks, but it's better then having to wait a year.

It's a 2022 Hyundai i30 Hatchback, "Highway" trim level, it has a 1.5 T-GDI (turbo petrol) 160cp, with a manual transmission. It has a independent rear suspension and Michelin Primacy 4 S2 tires.

And no, there were no red cars

The sunshine had the cars gleaming today.

A nice row of reds 3 Leafs and a Honda Civic.

I prefer the darker red cars. The Leaf on the far right of the photo the best of the bunch.

The image doesn't do it justice, but a very radiant shiny red paint job on this Peugeot 208 I parked next to, nicely offset by the black wheels, quite striking.

I like this, the camera doesn't do justice to the colour, bit less washed out more bluey in real life.

A decent enough package which caught my eye, proper double doors at the back and large hole pepperpot-esque wheels.
