Which colors would you seriously consider purchasing? (you can select multiple option - LotusTalk

Moto44 · 10-27-2008, 10:42 AM

Which color you own has been polled here before. This question relates more to the colors that might be more in demand when it comes time for resale. It also has implications for dealers as they choose inventory.

I bought Laser Blue, but I also love Lotus Racing Green (the metallic paint from 2005, not the British Racing Green which is to dark and not metallic).

There is a limit of 20 options for a poll here. Hence, some combining of colors was necessary.

Burnt Orange

but I don't see that on the list?

Tracktimeplz · 10-27-2008, 10:53 AM

IMO Autumn gold is the most striking color on this car. A real head turner that has a sense of maturity as well.

That being said, I also selected Mag blue, Saf yellow, Polar blue, and KG

Sorry, missed that one. You can always make it a write-in candidate by adding it to your list by posting here.

NJdrool · 10-27-2008, 11:04 AM

My 3 choices would be Burnt Orange, Canyon Red and Moonstone Silver.

delise · 10-27-2008, 11:07 AM

If Polar Blue had been out when I bought my car it would have been a tough call for me- such an amazing color in person with a black pack !!!! But I still probably would have gone with Ardent Red, such a cool color during the magic hour - sunrise/sunset or on a really bright day or a rainy gray day, the color is always changing it seems from really Ferrari red to almost purple in the right conditions. Plus it is a bright color - so good for safety but not as obnoxious as the orange,yellow or green for me.....

I believe if all of those colors were mixed you would have brown. Not the most popular vehicle color.

Get a horse.

As a dealer, I wouldn't be wagering much of my inventory on that bet.

But don't listen to me, I would never have believed that Chrome Orange would be the most popular color for any car.

Have you seen the camper he uses to haul his car to the track?

Also note the ergonomics: lots of headroom.

I agree. They had one at FVMC. As soon as I saw it I loved it. Must be seen in person to fully appreciate.

chapster5 · 10-27-2008, 01:21 PM

i picked all of the above

nah just messing

Laser Blue, Mag Blue, KG, BRG, Solar Yellow, Ardent Red, Storm Titanium, graphite Grey, Phton Black

Bavarian Motorist · 10-27-2008, 01:35 PM

LB was my favorite, but I like the new colors like Prism Green, Moonstone, Burnt Orange, and Ice White. Have not seen Ice White, though. What's different about it? More pearlescent I'm guessing?
