Hyundai's Colors Are Boring and Dull
 

Hyundai is doing a great job with its cars now, but I have one
constructive criticism: Hyundai seems slow to catch on to the latest
color trends. Either that or the designers are just stodgy and
conservative.

Where's bright yellow for Tucson? Small cute cars look great in yellow,
and would be a real eye-catcher for Tucson.

Where's metallic copper for Santa Fe? You see lots of orange/copper
cars around, it's a hot color, but Hyundai must have been snoozing and
missed the trend.

Sonata ... silver/gold mix (aka "sand")...

I could go on. Visit web sites of Infiniti, Mini, yes, even Chrysler,
and look at their colors and imagine them applied to the Hyundai
lineup. You'll know what I mean.

Well, there is a new Dark Cherry red. Did you see it yet?

IMHO, copper is just plain ugly. New yellow or orange cars look great, but
old yellow or orange cars look ridiculous.

Sonata has "Khaki" for 2007. Is that close?

Well, the point isn't whether _you_ like copper or not. My point is,
Hyundai isn't on top of the latest colors and not offering a wider
choice of colors to choose from. They should offer a mix of trendy
colors plus the traditional colors, that way everybody's happy.

I sure like my Canyon Red. Stands out very nice. Easy to see in a parking
lot.

I also love my Pearl powder white XG350L, powdery white during the day but
changes colors at night.

why would anyone want a bright yellow car? New Beetles have it, and you
can have it!
