What Happened To Yellow?

[Folks]

Nice color but you just don't see many yellow vehicles.......which is probably why Elio bumped it.

Hi Rick;
Don't see many greens that color either. Lots of Yellow sport cars. Note the rear black panel. Those rear panels can be colored every other panel red and white with a blue blue background exactly like the tail fins of US Army pre WWII planes. Timeless color schemes in my opinion. Hey I'm talking after market here. LOL

I noticed that yellow has a slightly larger % margin in the compact/sport category than green. Maybe they dropped the wrong color.

I believe Elio Motors has said they chose the available colors due to a combination of expected popularity and cost. It would not surprise me if green was chosen over yellow because of price.

Yep, I prefer yellow over green........actually owned a yellow VW many years ago. However, if yellow paint makes for a higher than average production cost, it's a good reason to drop it.

I live in a condo overlooking extensive downtown parking lots. Not one green or yellow colored vehicle in the bunch........so neither color is a popular choice.

Rickb is hiding the fact what he calls a condo is really a tenement where three out of 4 cars are completely stripped and on blocks. LOL

Colors go in and out of fashion, thus the changing color palette available from manufacturers. Remember burgundy, teal, olive, and the earthtones of years gone by? If you like a particular color, stick around, it'll be back.

I've been wondering if the body would be "painted" at all.
On my smart, the white body panels are color impregnated plastic.
Now the metallic color cars are painted.
