I can't decide on which color to chose,for my '04 MCS...the dealer wants me to make a decision,so he can make the order in sept....I chose CHILI RED,WHITE TOP,SUN-ROOF,but I also like the DARK SILVER,WHITE ROOF...but it seems a little dark once you tint the windows. Is CHILI RED the most bought color?...Does everyone has this color out there?...If it was up to you,WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU CHOOSE?....PLEASE HELP.....

let me just *sigh* and get that out of the way

whatever color u like, is what you should buy, its ur car.

recommending a color for ur car is like recommending a husband/wife for you. come on be reasonable.

the dark silver and the red are the most popular colors

since u asked for an opinion, get the red one, its more bright and noticeable, and its a faster color

I decided on dark silver/black. It came down to two colors unique to the MCS. And I thought the electric blue/white--another popular combo--looked a little too smurfy for my taste. That said, I've owned black cars (three), blue cars (four), red cars (three), and yes, even bright yellow cars(my first, a boxy, '72 FIAT 128!). And I've enjoyed them all. So pick what you like, and get motoring!!!

Throwing caution to the wind is not my thing, so I'm going to suggest a color combo that's not on your list. Get a PW/PW MCS. That'd look killer!

>>RED!

Hey digitalpussi, I saw your pic over at the other thread. Was there ANY question you would pic red?

Seriously, 8 of us got together this weekend, and at least 3, (maybe 4) of the cars were silver.

Personally, I LOVE speeding ticket red. Just don't have the gonads, or the wallet, to drive that. So instead I picked the more 'sedate and subdued' liquid yellow. If speeding tickets didn't exist, red is my way to go.

However, now that I mention it... have you seen the Photoshop'ed purple MINI?
I LIKE it!

Hey, clo...my 128 was the sedan. I bought it used for $2K and spent several times that over several years fixing it. You know what they say, FIAT stands for "fix it again, Tony!" Alternator, clutch cable, ac, clutch cable, wheel bearings, another clutch cable, etc, etc, etc,.

That was the first time I drove a stick. The day I bought it I must have stalled out 17 times trying to drive a mile to my apartment.

I finally lost it in my last year of college---I was hit by a drunk who was kicked out of a bar by the cops. He was told not to drive. So his girlfriend drove for two blocks, they switched seats of the jeep, and he floored it for four blocks until he hit me. I still have a hubcap. It was about the only thing worth saving...
