What color is in highest demand?

I am curious to know which Evo color is everyone's favorite? Stock colors. Basically if you were going to buy one which color would you want. Silver, Red, Black. Blue. White. Charcoal, Yellow?

White was in the highest demand for me, because that is what I wanted.

The car in the highest demand is the one that the buyer wants at the time, IMO.

Since we can't buy CT9A's new, most people will make a list. 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice... down to: wouldn't take it if it were free.

That said, at shows and such, blue seems to get a lot of attention because it's rare.

WW, GG, AS are my favorites. Blue is good if it's clean. I would "settle" for yellow. Black and red get a pass from me. I bought a black Evo, considered painting it white, but ultimately sold it and bought a white IX the same day. And I made concessions on the WW car that I would not have made if it were not white.

I always hear people that have an Evo say they wanted White but couldn't find one. I went with White, but in the future I would not mind having a Electric Blue or a Lightening Yellow as a second car.

Yellow is probably the rarest color, mabye the people that hate the yellow evo are just jealous because they don't have it haha.
For me if I get another evo I'll definently want a blue one. Red is on the bottom of my list, along with AS. I would settle for black and white though.

The number one color for X's at my dealership is White. Then gray. We sold 5 white ones we had in stock in one week. The last shipment of evo's we ordered was like 20 white 20 gray, And 10 mixed of other colors. At least in North Jersey.


I think this info could somewhat translate into what the preference was for IX's. "Couldn't find a white one comment" Maybe because they were selling as fast as the 10's.

How bad is the shortage with the evo's since there was an earthquake? Or did this not affect anything?

I LOVE the tarmac black color. It's exactly what I wanted. If you look closely in the sunlight it has almost a blue mica fleck that make it look blue/black.

I think white is in highest demand, I was looking for a white evo but they were too overpriced and a lot of them had higher miles for the same price as the ones with lower miles. I settled for a 2006 TB IX SE
