This is a hot one. The housewives have spent all day (sat outside the pub) cleaning and debating wether the colour of the vehicle has any relevance to its appeal. To those men out there that means pulling power! Now we have decided this could be true. We do notice the car before we notice the person driving it and the colour does catch our attention.
So would you like to know what the top three colours are?

I'm guessing they said red for number 1. But Black is always the new Black and utterly unbeatable (unless you are the one that has to wash it).

Impossibly subjective question I'm afraid unless we are all talking about the same car.

Giallo looks great on Ferraris, not so good on a Mondeo. My wife's Saab looks great in lurid lime green, wouldn't fancy it on a passat estate though.

Most popular colours overall would have to be black, blue and silver. Favourite/hottest overall I reckon red?

This is very true - take my Alfa 156, to me it looks great in black, but I also quite like it in dark blue, and the Alfa Red.

Tuscan's however look good in most colours - primarily due to the crazy shape, but mine and a few others prefer the darker colours as it looks more menacing.

Then again, those patel shades ie light blue (seen on the 156) or light pink - seen on a lot of Honda Jazz type things are just plain wrong!

So what was the top five in the colour contest?

Now we need to decide on what car. This is a tricky one as
the ladies have a definate favourite.
SO RED IS THE COLOUR SO WHAT IS THE CAR ?

Has to be something without a ludicrously silly spoiler (however much downforce is needed), so Scoobies and Evo's out.

Perhaps a TVR of some description, maybe an SL55, perhaps a Porshe Carrera GT. It's hard with little or no clues!
