Dave in Lake Villa said, "For me, color is secondary to a Hyundai SUV that
is very stylish, reliable, performs well, is practical , gets fairly good
gas mileage, and is engineered well."......
EXACTLY! When I have gone looking for any vehicle, new or used, I have done
extensive research on space, comfort, usability, reliability, power,
performance, convertibility, value, price, deal, loan rates, options, even
things like whether it has a full-size spare tire. The list goes on and on.
The one thing I could have cared less about was the blasted color. If we
had a choice, my wife would pick it. But even some cars we got used where
she didn't like the color (like my current Elantra) have been some of my
finest cars. A different color would not enhance that, and it certainly
wouldn't make a lousy, worthless vehicle better.

The last thing I thought I would buy is Canyon Red. As you said I had
looked at many SUV and found that the Santa Fe was the best, value, etc. So
I picked out a calf manure color, not to noticeable. I showed it to my
wife, and she went ape. She wanted the Show room car. I went for it, and
haven't been sorry since. I do keep my speed down, as people say that Red
cars are very noticeable to police.

I've wanted a pigeon blood red car all my life. Every time I buy a car,
there is either no red on the lot or no red in the lineup. Some day...

I agree. Exterior colors and interior colors are kind of bland. It's
like Hyundai is afraid they are going to offend and so they play it
safe. To Hyundai's credit, they've come a long way in improving their
product. Just need to add a little more sparkle.

Yeah I think that is the most important thing Spooky cat. The cars are
prety good now & seem to be selling well enough without too many radcal
colours in the line up. I mean when you look at the average car buyer I
feel color would be the last priority except for some people who don't
care what they are driving as long as it is yellow or red... True the
cars are more noticable on the highway & also to thieves I would
assume. Infact I believe some places have higher insuarance premiums
for red cars... I am happy with my simple and sedate Steel
Grey..........

"A convertible car (or was it a postless "hardtop?") is sort of a
mistress fantasy," says Vance Packard.
Yes: Ad-man Vance Packard, the eminent pop sociologist in the 1950s,
wrote interesting stuff I read about this & other fun junque, while
today's car color curious have internet accessible write-ups ad colora
