i was showing my brochures on the Lotus and the Corvette to a buddy of mine. he told me whatever car i picked to not get red. he says red is becoming more and more a feminine color nowadays.

thoughts?
does a red Elise look good with a guy behind the wheel?

What! That is ridiculous. So your friend must think Ferraris are girls cars.

Not really, but it's not as fast as Starlight Black.

...personal anecdote, i know many more girls who favor blue than red...

Every time I go to a car show I see girls around the Ferraris, so they must be!

IMO, if a car looks equally good in non-red, I'd pick that over red anytime.

Red is so stereotypical of 'sports' car (read Ferrari) that any red car is perceived as a Ferrari-wannabe.

Lamborghini's and Lotus's color choices make red kind of obsolete and redundant.

The only car the looks good in red only is the NSX. Somehow an NSX in any other color looks 'cheap'.

As to your question, my answer would be :shrug:

Just get the color you like. Who cares what others think...

+1 and if it happens to be red than go with it!

I did and NO REGRETS! Its a proper sportscar color.

damn, can I trade what is in my garage with yours?

You have an Elise and a Fiat 124.

I want to get a Fiat 124 too!!! They have really gone up in values in the recent years.

My wife doesn't want to own any red cars, so I'd say it isn't a girl's color. Then again, my wife isn't exactly an average woman.

Based on what I have learned in almost 13 years of marriage, women do not use the term red for that part of the color spectrum--cherry, wine, crimson, brick, cranberry maybe but not red. And I now know the difference between biscuit, bone and ecru.

Five of these guys drive red Elises (one is parked in the garage). So, I would say no.

Charlie, how can that pie chart possibly be correct when pink doesn't even make it on to the chart??

Anyway, everyone knows red is a guy's color. Especially Canyon Red.

....coz they're bigger than you?
