hiya mandra,
I swing by the local dealership once or twice a week. I go early in the morning before they open, and look at the orphans in their parking lot.
I wanna white/silver - what color might you be looking for?

Make the Stop, Give yourself a lot of time just in case.

I want Yellow or something bright. Seems these cars need as much visibility as possible for people in SUV's to see.

Rats just saw no yellow available via the website. Oh well guess I'll have to see what they are in person as I didn't really like any of the colors on the web.

Yes, the color palette is a bit neutral-biased. Seriously, how many whites, blacks, and shades of gray/silver do we need in a six color palette? These four neutrals would be fine if they didn't come at the expense of brighter colors. I'd really like to have a sour apple green like the Hyundai Accent 3-door (Hyundai Motor America - 2009 Accent 3-door colors) and there is someone on the forum that did paint their car a shade of green (very nice, btw).

Mandra,
Good luck finding a Yellow - that color was discontinued for 2009 (they replaced the yellow and the orangy-red with a truer red and a silver).
Visibility isn't as bad as you might think, however, since the car sits up tall (a chief problem with visibility is a low roof-line, not so much a short wheel base).
Personally, I love my Yellow, but would be happy with any light color (South Carolina is not the place, IMHO, to own a dark car - too bloody hot in the summer). And if you can't find a yellow, but really want the color, painting is an option...
So jump in!
