How popular are bright yellow convertibles
I'm down to red, white, and bright yellow. It is 2LT with RS , has the black stripes on it . I'm leaning towards bright yellow, curious how popular it's been and if I will have resale issues. Thanks

I would say white its clean and red always looks nice as well.

My wife love the yellow as it matches her blond hair. So that was our choice. There not seen much compared to others, but we get looks a lot. We had a real hard time finding a yellow one, especially in a m6. But from what I've seen, yellow isn't as popular, but it's unique.

Not many yellow 2014 where I've been. And when I do see one I have a much better response then when I see a white one.
I bought black with yellow as my second choice and I must say I have second thoughts on black. Especially after a big rainstorm. Ugh... Oh and about resale issues I wouldn't bother with that. Just keep it clean and keep the color up.

they are all great colors, but yellow does stand out and you dont see many. my dealer had a new yellow ZL1 vert for sale and it sat for a year, finally sold it last december. it was a beautiful car, with black stripes and black wheels and suede. but, at 62K, you have a limited market i guess. my dealer had a 2 LT yellow vert when i bought mine, and i gave it some thought, but then i thought maybe i may get tired of yellow eventually, so i chose the black. both were identical cars otherwise.

Don't see many yellow or oranges for that matter here in NYC. Pretty rare here.

Black scares me because I'm not a good let alone great car washer. Do you have to wax a new one ASAP when you get it and then put a Paint Protectant on it??? Thanks

Besides, yellow convertible is probably going to be rare. Come to think of it, I haven't seen one around my neck of the woods. The verts all tend to be red, black or white.

If those are your choices, I would do Yellow hands down . But, I believe you will get just as much attention as if it were synergy green .. Are you ok with people staring at you and your car, watching you walk from the gas pump, to the gas station, every time , even when your with your kid, or in your pajamas early Sun moring ? because that's what they do to me. White, I will never buy white again, had a white tahoe, always looked dirty up close, not as bad as black, but I think the second hardest to keep clean up close .always looks plane jane, and boring . Red, I will never buy, I always picture an 18 year old, with his hat backwards, sun glasses, and seeing how fast it goes 0-60 every stop light. typical douch baggery, I know 99% of red camaro owners are not like that, but that's just what I see. I went with Silver, doesn't scream " look at me I have a camaro " but can still look bad ass with a few touches depending which way you want to go looks wise .. I like just simple tint, maybe 33%- 40 % , with either the best OEM wheels , so maybe ZL1 wheels or SS wheels, and possibly powdercoating them light black, or dark gray , and shaving the badges .. Hope that helps ! |

Agreed ! I went all out when I bought my 2010 Silverado, bought new, got every thing exactly like I wanted.. I didn't know any better, and wanted Black, Black no matter what ... well I got black alright, black swirls and all, every spec of just shows .. my black truck is now 4 years old, and I gave up on waxing the paint years ago... It's so bad, I'm at the point where I might as well just Plasti-dip it flat black , and go after the darth vader rob derridick look . |

Appreciate input, I like when people strike up a conversation.
My main issue would be if I have trouble selling/trading it for a new one in a few years because it looks yellow. I like yellow best by far but not if it is a $2,000 hit in a few years.... |
