What color are you getting any why?

Just curious to what color everyone is going to get and why they picked that color.

I am getting Arrival Blue. I choose this because I A year ago I almost bought a 2004 Sonic Blue Ford Mustang GT convertible and I have always loved the color.

Red. Last car was red. Really wanted black, but that would have been a bitch to keep clean. Another reason why I got red was how it looked with the tail lights. If the SS came in the Blue Granite Metallic, I would have gotten it.

Black is sitting in my garage, and mczman you won't be disappointed. Had to wash it twice on Sunday though - a quick drive around the block, and it was a mess!

My last two cars have been Red.

I was tempted to get Black with Red inserts, but I decided to go with the Blue.
I've always loved the metallic blue colors, like the one's that Subaru and BMW use.

Arrival Blue. The car is called the Cobalt, after all. It would be logical to get it in blue.

My favourite colour is crimson red (think blood) but Victory Red is too bright and tomato-like for my tastes. It's my second choice though.

Rally Yellow with Ebony/Yellow Inserts

I'm getting Rally Yellow with Ebony/Yellow inserts. When Yellow was first being offered on cars, I thought it was absolutely hideous looking. The more and more I have seen of it, however, the more it has grown on me. Now, there are some shades of Yellow that are still butt ugly, but I've seen the Rally Yellow color offered on the Cobalt and I really like it.

Absolutely love the Arrival Blue but everybody and their mother has a blue car (I've already owned one).

Arrival Blue... Like someone just said.... The car is called cobalt. Also at night or in the dark.. it's ALMOST like looking at a whole different color...... Plus the blue on this car.. Well, makes the car look ( it's safe to say it ) Sexier!

I got a white one, of course. I was previously going to order a silver one at another dealership, but the salesman didn't think the bank would go for it with my situation -- so I found one that would, and went back to my favorite dealership to get a white one. They (my favorite dealership) had the white one and at least one or two red LS sedans at the time, so I took the white one -- the gold bowtie and red taillights on the white background create quite a nice look in my opinion.

<----------------

As for why...I typically prefer black on every car. It just looks SO mean. Only issues is, after owning a black car for the past 3+ years, I don't think I could do it again unless I had a garage and extra time/cash to have it washed somewhere once a week. Black is nearly impossible to maintain..and it shows every little scratch or dent. Silver is a step up from white, as far as showing dirt...and with a carbon fiber hood, I think, looks h0t.

Well now, after going to the Auto Show on the weekend, it's Arrival Blue. I have always prefered Black, but that blue is awesome. It's too bad the Red is so bright. I loved the Paprika Red I had on my Talon. Has anyone else taken a look at the blue up close? From certain angles it appeared to have a bit of a dark purple hue mixed in with the blue??

I will probably get mine Silver. I like the black, but black is usually a pain to keep clean.
Like the site BTW!

Well I am planning on Blue, but that still might change to black. The other color I was considering was Red, but have ruled that out. I only ruled red out because that is the color of my Sunfire, so I have had red since 96 when I bought it, so I need a change. I had a Black S10 before the Sunfire, so that is why I am leaning Blue, just to have a different color. Plus, I really like the Blue, but that Black is looking mighty sharp too.
