Red, I think, if you lump them all together. I think the next would be black.

Why is it people can't decide for themselves what color car to buy?
It blows my mind....
What color do you like? ...... Buy it ,don't worry so much about which is most popular and buy the car you like.
Enjoy your own tastes in colors.

Funny how some people just want to know things and others are firm in their conviction that they all ready know it.
