Anyone else see the chevy cobalt brochure from the dealerships in 2005? Not the one you can take home, but my dealership I went to had this HUGE book w/ all the models in it. It had big plastic coated pages and had fabric samples and leather samples (1inchX1inch) to show you the actualy product. I shows the cobalt in a green color.....Jade Green if I remember right. Looked nice, but I guess they discontinued that color after they made that book.

I had read somewhere that red cars had a lower accident rate then other color cars.

car color does affect insurance rates, thats why they ask for em
go to a site with free quotes and try it out

red, yellow, orange, and bright colors stick out more, plus bright objects in motion are perceived by the eye of being faster

you will be more of a target by police, theifs, vandalizers
