    Worst 3S production color

    I get tired of seeing the same ol' Pearl White and Red 3Ss because there are just soooooooooooo many of them. So, it got me to thinking....what color was the worst choice for the 3S?

    Sorry if it's been done before but I couldn't remember seeing it and I'm curious to know what color should have been skipped.

    Honestly, I think Orchid Pearl is the worst, it just happened to also be rare so everyone likes it. But it's pretty god-awful.

    you're on crack. jeremy is more on the money. napier blue (or whatever it's called) is the same color as the late 80's early 90's fugly berettas.

    that said, green in general is the ABSOLUTE WORST COLOR for a 3/s. olive isn't bad though. and i SUPPOSE a few people can tolerate 99 green...but regular ole 2nd-gen green is piss fugly. 3/s is a goddamn sports car. why the hell paint it like it's a saturn vue?

    p.s.
    harvest wheat beige is a close 2nd. still don't know how anyone can even remotely think that any other colors (orchid, olive, yellow, etc) even come close to being as disgusting on a sports car as pathetic green and volvo beige. oh, and even though i'll piss mike and bill off....maroon is my 3rd least favorite. why in god's name would you want your car painted like a fleet vehicle?

    I'm not a fan of red on these cars, and it doesn't help that the majority of reds that I see are so beat up. Really I don't think you can go wrong with any color on a 3S, but red would be my last choice.

    I thought the reds were a bad color choice because they didn't use the standard clear coat paints for the red cars. I also think they should have never done any pearl in their cars simply due to the fact that they were not exotics, but they also are hard as hell to repaint...
