Yellow cars. I dig'em. Always have.

Yellow is a great color for a car. There. I've said it!

And I'm always surprised when I hear someone say they'd never buy a yellow car.

Yellow Porsches look great!

I also love the pale yellow that some Chevies came in in the 60s and early 70s.

I was checking to see if you had Fly Yellow, but you did. I think the Camaro is Butterscotch.

I wasn't sure of the name. I found several sites that called it "butternut yellow". The Impala is "crocus" yellow.

I had a yellow ford escort. I loved that car. I wish I still had it. It was a Kodak sales rep's car painted in Kodak's color.

The best yellow ever is of course the Miata.

Buddy has a Cayman in arrest me yellow. Almost hurts the eyes. But it looks GOOD.

Nothing wrong with yellow. I am a fan.

You're right. It's Butternut.

I had both a yellow and red Boxster. Never say never but they aren’t my favorite colors.

That '55 Chevy is beautiful. The right yellow, like this Talbot Yellow SC, can be spectacular:

2010 Cayman


I liked my yellow Cayman, as it was an unusual color around where I live. Sold it after a year of ownership. Did not enjoy removing a busted spark plug in the head though.
