I agree, I love the bright colors, but it's not what the market demands.
I think a lot of that has to do with what the dealers order for their lots.

I knew a dealership back in the 90's when I was ordering my Trans Am when they offered Red Leather told me not to order it....said his district manager told him it didn't look good and not to order any for them to sell.....Obviously he would have ordered it just for me.....but none for the lot for people to see...so they didn't hardly sell any red interiors.

Just got home today from our local dealer.....Had probably 100 trucks.....Mainly Black/White/Brownish-Gold colors.

They just did start making a sharp blue on them this year (2013) and they
had none !

Blue Topaz Metallic !...But people won't buy it if the dealers won't order any.
