I asked around and apparently other people thought the same thing. now i get on AB and they tell me im the exact opposite, and I have no confidence at all. it seems like i can't catch a break with this car! ]]>May 14th 2008 8:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/May 14th 2008 8:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/
I choose a car color by what color I like looking at a car in.

Reds and Blues are my favorite. Silver and Black are sometimes nice to look at, but get tired over time, and black hides details, which can be useful, or detracting.

My car is red, and although I can get worked up a bit, it takes a lot of input to do so and usually is my response to a breakdown of reason, and otherwise I am usually calm and stoic when other people are running around panicking.

My wife, who also has a red car, and red hair, is much more prone to emotional reactions. But she likes red cars. Her NB Miata looks fantastic in classic red.

I think car color only indicates social traits in people who don't take their personal taste very seriously, and allow their personality to dictate their sense of taste, rather than picking colors and designs on design merits, so the correlation doesn't always hold up.

I have an 05 Volvo s40. i was deciding between red or silver, but Volvo's "Passion Red" really took me in. most of the S40's ads show it in red so im guessing thats the most appropriate color for it, even though silver and black look pretty sharp as well ]]>May 14th 2008 8:48PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/May 14th 2008 9:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/May 15th 2008 12:47AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/May 15th 2008 2:30AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/14/does-car-color-correlate-with-personal-confidence/http://www.autoblog.com/photos/hennessey-venom-1000tt-srt-coupe/798639/

"Also keep in mind that CNW once determined through statistical analysis that the Hummer was greener than a Toyota Prius, so its results can be taken with a grain of salt."

Seriously ... on what basis can you make a claim that study has to be taken with a grain of salt?]]>May 14th 2008 8:24PM
