Two cars. Both a highly visible shade of green. Both in town here, both witnessed within a day or so of each other, within 2 km of each other.

Does anybody make a mid-sized car , SUV, or truck in a cool colour? Are the commuting masses really relegated to silver, grey, white, black, burgundy, and navy? I think it’s crazy that to get a stand out colour you need to be penniless or extravagantly wealthy (hot hatches notwithstanding).

I’d rock the HELL out of a Lime Green Tacoma or Tundra. My dad has white 2015 Honda Pilot. He’d look rad driving it in Plum Crazy...

The Inferno red/orange on the TRD Pro lineup stands out for sure.

Also the Challenger in purple is a nice throwback color as well.

I was going to include the Camaro but thought that it's not really meant to be a commuter/kid hauler.

Yeah, I figured in the southern/western states you may be able to get away with it year-round.

I know. I had just dropped my kid off and was racing to an appointment. There wasn't a lot of time for composition. It's a local car, I'll see it again and get a better photo I'm sure.

The press-release car and the youtube preview video car were both yellow. My brother has seen a couple of yellow ones.

Personally, I've only seen the one in the picture.
