Im hoping for marina blue, impulse blue metallic, spice red, yellow jacket version, SOM, hugger orange, and one of those GM purple. There some GM guys who love purple for some reason, I dont like the purple for myself, i think its good variety. (hell, i think there is someone who has all purple cars, if i remember; thats cool. I like to see pride like that.)

Agreed, purple add something different to the lineup. Not my taste, but I like to see someone with one in a cruise. I would be hard pressed between Impulse blue, One of the oranges, and Spice red.

They need marina blue(the light blue on the 1st gen cars). I'd like to see a nice burgandy, hugger orange, dark purple, and grey-green metallic. They need these in addition to the standard red, grey, white, black, silver, navy blue, etc.

It'd be cool if they brought back some of those retro colors you see on the 1st gens. Those hot colors you don't see every day. That burgandy, hugger orange, dark green, light blue, yellow, etc.

I agree. That'd be sweet.

AFAIK, the colors have already been decided.
I just don't know what they are yet.

I personally liked the blue w/white or light silver stripes, the solid blue RS, and the black w/gray stripes.
