My Jetta is white which follows in a line of 2 other white 4 cylinder manual
transmission diesels, the other two were MB 240Ds.
Angie's Jetta is dark blue, the pickup is silver. When I bought the pickup I
kind of complained about the silver being boring, the guy told me the easiest
truck to sell was white. It seems most people worry about resale value and
don't want a bright color that might be hard to pass on. I don't give a hoot
about resale value since when I'm done with a vehicle its used up pretty much
completely.
At some point I want to build a dedicated offroader, nothing outlandish but a
bit larger tires, locking differential etc. I want it to be a BRIGHT color,
like orange or fire engine red...

Subject: [MBZ] what color is your daily driver?
I came back to my office this afternoon after a trip to the bank.
I counted 29 vehicles in the parking lot behind the building and noted
that 23 of the 29 were black, grey or silver.
There were a couple of dark red to burgundy and a couple of green - one
dark olive and the other acqua for lack of a better choice. I think 1
white one.
Cannot recall the last vehicle - might have been a 2nd white one.
Do not know if this is indicative of vehicles as a whole or not.
If so, we have become a drab bunch.
My car was included in the grey bunch as I am driving the Honda Civic I
bought from my mother. However, I have the dark red Mercedes and the
ruby red F150 at home and my wife's car is blue but on the blue-grey
side of blue. If I had purchased the Honda Civic new, it would not have
been the slate grey color.
