Default RE: We seriously have to do something about the colors

We're really not asking for a very large selection of colors, just a selection comparable in size to other cars and that the selection is interesting and fits the car.

Examples, look at volvo's custom build concept for their c30. There's something like 16 color choices. Look at the mustang, 10 choices. I'd imagine if you checked out every company's car builder page you'd find at least 8 color choices. The SE only has 6 choices, and the R/T 7. The SRT a pathetic 3 (this to the people paying more for the car than anyone). We're also asking that the (8-10) color choices be colors that would fit the retro theme of the car. Black, Silver, White, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Orange, gold/bronze. That looks like a damn good color lineup to me! And it's only 10 colors. I'm sure anyone could find something they like from that. And if they're extremely worried that the green, yellow, and purple won't sell as well as the silver and black ones, just produce less. Look at grabber orange on the mustangs, it's probably the less popular than red but they still make it, they just make less of it. You'll see 3 red ones on the lot and 1 orange. I recall reading somewhere they only produced around 5,000 of the lime ones.

So make 5,000 black ones and 1,000 sublime and charge an extra $250 for it. They do this with torred already.
