[s] Have you owned a red sports car vs a neutral color like white or silver? With traffic tickets to your name?
I did a price quote for a red G37 a few years ago, difference was significant over a period of 6 months.
Its not a big factor in my calculations, but for folks on payments, it may make a difference in affordability. I love looking at that red, but its just not my style. Garnett red is a bit better. [/s]
EDIT: I stand corrected. I think it was the extra 20HP and extra options that increased the insurance cost. I guess if you have a red car you are more likely to get pulled over? Maybe thats an old wives tale too. If you do get a ticket, your rates will go up.

Not sure about snobs, but it was a tax structuring deal too, they save money. At least, thats what an in depth article said several years ago
