I don't think any of these pictures really look outlandish except for the spotted Jag and the pink Hummer. While I'm not against pink on some vehicles (Elvis Presley, for example, not only owned pink Cadillacs but gave them away as gifts), it seems clearly out of place on a Hummer. And I myself owned, for almost 5 years, a 2001 Lexis IS300 exactly the same shade of yellow as that Mercedes.

In fact, that's one of the big problems with many vehicles sold here in the American market.....dullness and repitition in the paint colors. Look at the brochure or web site of the average non-sports car and you will find mostly the same stuff, over and over again.......white, black, silver, a couple of shades of light or dark gray, dark blue, maroon/dark red, and beige/tan. Interiors, whether cloth or leather, are usually beige/ivory, gray, or black, or a two-tone combinaton of. I hit on this time and time again in my vehicle reviews.........mostly because I keep finding the same things.

Of course, that doesn't mean that every vehicle has to to be painted Fire-Engine Red, Day-Glo Orange, or Chrome Yellow. Far from it. But it gets boring, even for a conservative-minded car guy like me, to see the same funeral shades over and over again.....and most people driving them. And even some auto manufacturers recognize that. Subaru, for instance, offers colors in Europe and Asia that it does not here......or once did, like the Amythist.

I actually like the color of the Yellow CLS and wouldn't mind driving around. It would be a real eye catcher

The Hummer is fugly anyway no matter what color it is, I hope that pink one was not owned by a guy.....

I agree (like I said in a former post) that pink is generally an inapproriate color for a Hummer, but you have to stop and consider that it is only in relatively recent years that pink has become associated with femininity....and gay men. If you go back to the mid-to-late 1950's, pink cars (and two-tone pink and white) were quite popular, both for exteriors and interiors. In fact, pink Cadillacs were associated with Elvis Presley and Bruce Springsteen......two relatively macho singers who were anything BUT effeminate. And the so-called "pink" vehicles (usually Cadillacs but also Pontiacs and Buicks) associated with Mary Kay Cosmetics, if you look at them closely, are not really pink but a very light shade of pinkish-beige....it is a patented color that only specially-built Mary Kay cars can use.

That e-class looks like a taxi but it couldn't be a taxi since it's an E55 AMG.

What is up with the wheels on that pink CLS? They appear to be aftermarket and smaller and crappier than the OEM wheels but maybe not?

The candy pink Audi TT is the only one that I don't think is a total disgrace... so long as it's some super hot **** star chick behind the wheel... then she could pull it off.

not to sound "homosexual", but that TT is actually painted nicely.

Chick car? Plenty of males drive them, although I have to admit that one or two of the males I knew that owned one was..............well, you know.
