Hyundai i20: Black, just love it!

Honda Jazz: Personally prefer, the dark red which was available looked excellent.

Ferrari 458 Spider – Tour de France Blue

Mitsubishi Cedia (red) - have one!

A few in my wishlist, which are a little unrealistic at least for next 5 years

Aston Martin Rapide S - Black (my dream machine)

Ferrari 458 Italia - It's got to be RED!
Audi Q7 - Pearl White (hmm... may be this one is doable in 5 yrs after all!)

White has been crowned as the most popular color for cars for the second year in a row taking over from silver in the past decade.

White was used on over 25 percent of the vehicles sold in 2013, followed by silver and black tied at 18 percent each.

Coming in third on the list was grey at 12 percent, followed by red at 9 percent, tan at 8 percent, blue at 7 percent, green at 2 percent and other colours contributing 1 percent.

Confused about which colour to choose in the BMW 3 series. I am inclined towards the imperial blue whereas rest Dad and sister are more inclined towards the Havana or mineral grey. Help!
