It's a statistical fact that you're more likley to be involved in an accident if you drive a silver couloured vehicle. Apart from that they are extremely boring & dull to look at. This colour is only chosen because most other cars are this colour, or the very misguided idea that you get better re-sale value. Tosh!. Be adventurous, don't follow fashion. Silver does not enhance the appearance of a vehicle in any way.

Of all the colours you could chose, why pick silver? Let's stop it now. Let's promote the choice of interesting & attractive colours on our cars.

Great car, but still an unattractive colour.

Silver is a perfectlly sensible finish and a damn sight easier to maintain than swirlmarktastic dark colours.

The only place in the world where you can keep non-silver cars clean is California where dust and filth were outlawed in 1987.

Some cars look great in black or dark blue for instance. But what about shades of red, yellow, green, blue etc. Look at TVR's. They have (had!) a veritable cornucopia of colours. Why would you want a silver TVR unless you were totally unable to make a choice from the thousands of colurs available.

It is Green that is the worst for accidents. Silver is the cheapest metallic colour to produce and it reflects sun better also.

I'm not against freedom of choice. Why can't it be used with a bit more imagination. I just think that there are too many silver/grey cars on the road & they're so dull.
