You Got Scammed Into Buying Gray Cars

Let me guess, the car you just bought; was either black, white or grey, right? Well, guess what, even if you wanted a blue, yellow, or green car, you couldn't even get one. And that's because dealers and manufacturers don't want you to. America Got Scammed Into Buying Gray Cars and both new car sales and used car sales are skewed because of dealership and auto manufacturer BS.

I bought a new GTI and the dealer didn't want to find me one in metallic red... I told them I would take my money elsewhere and when they didn't want to find me one, I went to a dealer 1200 miles away and had my car shipped... I now have a GTI in metallic Red.

Another thing I was thinking about is that traditionally, the more fun and interesting vehicles were purchased by young people. But most young people can't afford new cars anymore.

In Europe, it’s quite common to order a car and wait for the manufacturing. There are more colors everywhere. Most gray, black and white cars are business cars

[willberg]

I hate when a car comes in five different shades of gray yet not a single cool color

[JamVar]

I've caught myself sitting on a bench on the side of the road counting all the grey, white, black, and silver cars that pass - easily reaching into the 30s within a couple minutes - as well as looking around stopped at a light with 12 other cars to realize I am literally the only one with an actual color. It's depressing.

Yet another reason many people are choosing to wrap their cars. The manufacturers won't provide a color pallet without you bending over.

[ofthenearfuture]

Now all manufacturers are removing metallic from their paints and making putty cars

[matthewpeterson]

It's not just lack of color... all cars today are basically the same shape. If you remove the badging and line them up, it gets hard to tell what's what. I know it's all about aero, but they have no character these days.

I didnt want a yellow car... then a perfect C4 corvette yellow came up to buy... and wow i am so thankful i have a super bright yellow

[NightRavenp]

DUDE! I COULD HAVE SWORE I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO'S NOTICED THIS! I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS THAT EVERY CAR ON THE ROAD IS EITHER BLACK WHITE SILVER!

[Sideways_Singh]

It aint only cars, its clothing, houses exterior and interior, and other products like phones. We need color damnit, I'm all about that color.

I had a woman at work that parked her red 240SX in the parking garage for a long time (I wanted to buy it.) I found whose car it was and she said it was her baby. She refused to let her insurance company total it and took it home to fix on her own dime because she loved it. It was more than a vehicle to her. One day, I asked her what she was driving and she bought a Altima and described it as "just a car'
There are way too many "Just a cars" being presented for purchase these days. And they are overdesigned, way overpriced and not reliable anymore.

Car colours on today makes the car more look like sad asf

[BCNeil]

I love how all carmakers. Have a "build and price" feature on their websites. SO you can custom build your car. Yet they don't actual allow you to get the car you built.

[Khaladkartv]

My car is grey - I want to wrap it.
My family is like "why? Its so nice" and I keep telling them that I dont want to drive something thats the same color as: 1) almost every single other car on the road and 2) my fridge

[aleistergwynne]

Things got so bad that I had to memorise my grandmother's license plate because her gunmetal grey SUV looked the exact same as the dozen other gunmetal grey SUVs in the parking lot.

She recently replaced it with a vehicle that is a nice maroon colour with cream upholstery, so maybe the tide is turning.

[Bill-lrkp]

I never realized that before, but right after I watched this video, I started to observe the cars driving by my house for a minute, and more than half of them were grey😂

[bogusboys]

I got my first car about a year ago, and it's gold. 2008 Scion xB in the Gold Rush color. everyone waves to me, I've had kids ask me to do burnouts not knowing it's basically a corolla, and most of all, it stands out. My friends know exactly who is behind that wheel, and it's so sad to see cars lose that bright, fun, standoutish characteristic.

[jeffs]

You hit the nail on the head, it's the feedback loop of the manufacturers and dealerships. They think those are the best colors because they sell the best, then therfore only get those colors, which inevitably makes everyone only able to buy those colors, which then artificially proves their point of them being better sellers.

Take the ultra high end brands Bentley and Aston Martin. Their cars have over a hundred different beautiful colors to choose from (inside and out), and what are at all the dealerships? Black on black, white on black, and gray on black. Boring!

I've custom ordered my last two cars because dealership lots never have the options I want and definitely never have the color combo I want.

I tried replacing my 14 year old Tacoma that got totaled this winter. All the Toyota dealerships that I contacted said that if I wanted anything other than what was being allocated to dealers by the manufacturer (read: if I place an order for what I want, ) I will be waiting months and months, as they're building them in batches, and all the popular non-colors are coming first. I could get anything I wanted in black/grey/silver, but nothing in blue/orange/red. I ended up buying something else entirely, used, in red. I'll look at new vehicles again when they offer actual colors on more than just the website.
