Seven New Colors for 2007

Motoring file says they have learned that there will be 7 new colors for 2007 including new blues, a new yellow, & a red top.

Yeah I was hoping they would bring back yellow!!! I can't wait to see it.

I was really happy to read this too. Was getting scared for a while there that come the new turbo mini they would be BMW colors only, like red, blue, silver and black. Good to see there will still be color choices.

Not more blues, No-o-o-o-o-o-o.
I really have nothing against blue, usually, just kind wish MINI would get a bit more adventerous.

Well Motoring File said 3 Names like Laser Blue, Mellow Yellow, and Lighting Blue so that leaves 4 more colors. Maybe they will do something wild with those 4

I would have bought a pink mini in a heartbeat...especially if it was cotton candy pink...but no such luck. Oh well, now at least, the boyfriend won't mind driving my MINI if he has to for one reason or another. My previous car was purple, and he really hated to borrow it if his was in the shop or something.

Yeah a factory offering of a pink color will really help the fight against the chick car image.

The Miata color scheme consisted of what many people called 'YAB' - Yet Another Blue. Seemed every year they came out with a different blue.

Glad to hear that a yellow is coming back - we DO need at least a few bright colors. Saw a Solid Gold at the dealer yesterday. I wouldn't buy it, but it's fun to see.

Just wish they'd dump all the metallic colors except for silver. Metallic is done! Over! Dead! It has shuffled off this mortal coil and joined the choir invisible! Enough of the highway camoflage! I WANT truckers to see my car!

Give us McLaren Orange, REAL BRG, Matra blue, Ferrari red!

I actually like metalic colors and they tend to look better longer....we just need some different colors, like an orange or another green color or maybe even a rasberry color...that would be cool!!

I would like more of a Lexus-style pearl white. But I would love some sort of orange!

Not just pink (although just thinking about a cotton candy pink tickles me...well, PINK) HOT PINK! Think about it. Our MINIs are hotter than most cars...why not show off?

How about one of those color-shifting colors that changes as you view it from different angles?
