    I thought the reds were a bad color choice because they didn't use the standard clear coat paints for the red cars.
    They did that on purpose. A lot of affectionados prefer "flat", non-metallic colors like red, black, or white without clear coat because its easier to touch up stone chips. That's why you sometimes see cars offered with two shades of red or black, one metallic with clear and one "pure" without clear.

    My all time least favorite color was that truly puke inducing lime green (not Teal) you thankfully don't see very often...

    not a big fan of the yellows. They fade a ton and look really washed out for the most part. They also seem to fade at different rates and every panel is a different color.

    Dammit, after Googling around I think you're right, it IS teal I'm thinking of.
    I must have gotten it confused with a custom Turquoise I saw on a Stealth a few years ago that looked surprisingly good. Then again I might just be getting senile...

    Id have to say the pearl yellow on these cars over time, they fade or darken, but once they do, they look awful. Maybe it was the one I say in person, but from about 20 feet away it was comparable to lighter snot. Not something I consider eye candy despite the curves.....
