 I always thought black looked sleek sophisticated and classy, which is why it wouldn't be the car for me. I think You would look great in black.

My current car is black with black leather interior. To me it's a classy look. Trying to keep it clean has driven me to the point that I will probably go with a silver one next. I just leased the wife a Nissan Juke AWD. It's a metallic light maroon. I tried talking her into the silver one, which had black leather with heated seats. Nope! Gotta be the red one. Her world, I just make the payments.

 I have read this before and then again just recently. The idea that the color of car you pick determines your personality. Here is one of many references.
 
http://www.robinthompson.com/2005/06/car-color-tells-personality.html
 
 What if you have more than one car and they are all different colors? I have a silver car,a red car and a blue car. Honestly, the last car purchase was the red car. I didn't really care what color the car was( unless it was yellow or pink). I  went with whatever model I was shopping  and color wasn't really a serious consideration for me. Do you seriously look at the car color if you like everything else? Do you feel that your selection of color says something about you personally?
 
 Maybe I liked the color without realizing it. When I think about the colors I don't like, things do get a little more narrowed down.
 
 Then I tried to imagine what color of car some of the CH would drive. 




That's interesting, Tim. I personally don't feel that color has anything to do with MY personality though some that don't know me may think otherwise. Those who may have had some conflict with me on a forum may see why the color "black" would describe my personality. However, the truth in that is...I'm only aggressive when I need to be...and, to me, nothing speaks louder than a super polished, black sports car no matter what brand it is. I've always owned black sports cars and will probably never buy another color.
 
My luxury vehicles are a different story. Blue, white, metallic blue, beige, pewter, grey, burgundy, etc. My thing is...you pick the color that best fits the vehicle at all times. At least that's what *I* do. I don't feel it has anything to do with my personality as much as a personal preference. :)

(Disclaimer:  The Lexus picture WAS my car - see "proof" below -




All it "proves" is that for the purposes of this forum, you adopted this name, which may or may not have appeared on a car like this (thanks to the likes of photoshop, the camera certainly does lie now). As I recall the validity of your name has been called into question on many occasions. ;)
 
As for the OP, my first thought was ....what a load of bollocks, but that said, I have two cars, one silver one blue and the description of the "typical" buyers do fit me pretty well (IMHO). The trouble with that is that when I buy a car I tend to buy the model / colours that are in demand as I always have one eye on the re-sale, so mebbe it is all bollocks after all. OR ......everyone thinks they're cool and reflective.
 
All I can say for sure is that I'm not called CRAIG B and I've never owned a blue Toyota.

I am not sure I understand how black cars and aggressive folks are related. Like Danny, I don't think I'm particularly aggressive. I just like black. Black everything. It isn't so much of a statement - I simply happen not to like colors all that much. Black is neutral, clean, simple, and it works with everything.
 
If it expresses anything, it's that I prefer NOT to express anything and to behave like a discreet guest in this world, remaining more logical than emotional in my interactions w/ other carbon units.

My first car was a '69 Buick LeSabre ($400) with a bad rod the salesman predicted would one day tear through the engine block.  (It did, eventually)  It was loud, somewhat ugly, reasonably fast, and functioned as an off-road vehicle on many occasions.  No one knew for sure what color this car might be. 
 
We could see it, of course.  It was all one color, so it's not like we couldn't decide which one was prominent.  The problem was that we couldn't tell if it was brown or green.  To this day, I don't know which it was.

I've always trended toward car colors that are...tastefully gaudy. My last car...a Honda Fit Sport was metallic orange. So I must've turned a corner because although I initially wanted a blue or wine color I ended up coming home with my first white car ever. But I do love the new Subie. White or not.

I drive a Silver Toyota Aurion which is an unsafe color. Probably Yellow is pretty good from a safety perspective.
 
Geniuses prefer green though.
