Updated 8/16/16 with the 2017 Charger Daytona available in yellow around October. Also added in the BRZ Series.Yellow, MB Sprinter, and Nissan bringing back yellow on the 370Z for MY17. Now I need to re-do the collage when I can find a minute!

Good morning Oppo! I’ve been hanging around here for a long time lurking, then commenting and finally posting. Thanks to the mods (DasVWauto) for giving me authorship! For my first post, I wanted to write about something I care way more about than most sane people: yellow cars.

Wow, many FD. Much Competition Yellow Mica.

The vast majority of cars I see on my daily commute are various shades of gray with an occasional brick red or dark blue thrown in. When I see a bright car in the mix, it makes me smile. Bright greens, oranges, reds, and the elusive Polestar blue can really grab your attention in a sea of boringness. Yellow, however, is my personal favorite. I may be biased, because I used to own a bright yellow S10, but it !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Unfortunately, since nobody buys yellow cars in the USA, there aren’t that many cars that come in yellow right now. So in the spirit of previous posts like !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , this is my attempt to help the cause and let you know what is available in yellow so you can go buy one and save the yellow cars! One ground rule - I’m looking at “mainstream” cars here, so there is a base price cap of $100,000. Once you get above that you can probably request any color you want.

Sorry, Sunburst Yelllow Vanquish, you are too expensive to really help our cause...

There is a good chance that I am missing a few here, so please let me know in the comments so that I can update the list. Without further ado, here is every yellow offering in the USA that I could find broken down by brand...

Acura

Nope. Not even the NSX.

Alfa Romeo

4c Spider: Giallo Prototipo

No yellow for the coupe or Giulia sadly.

Audi

TT/TTS coupe and convertible: Vegas Yellow

The R10 is also available in Vegas Yellow, but it doesn’t fit under the $100k cap.

BMW

M3/M4: Austin Yellow

Buick

Unsurprisingly, nothing.

Cadillac

None, sadly not even the V models.

Chevrolet

Spark - Chevy calls this Lemonade so I’m including it, though it barely counts. They still sell this, but the new 2017 model will not have a yellow option to start.

Sonic: Bright Yellow (I didn’t see this as an option on Chevy’s website, but they exist on dealer lots possibly as mis-labeled 2015's... might be going away with the 2017 refresh.)

Camaro: Bright Yellow

Corvette (Stingray and Z06): Corvette Racing Yellow

Express 2500: Wheatland Yellow (yes they still sell this thing...)

Shockingly, the Volt does not come in yellow. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)

The Colorado used to be available in yellow last year, but that option has been replaced with orange for 2016.

Chrysler

Nope.

Dodge

Nothing this year unless you custom-order it on a Viper.

Dodge has been pretty good in the recent past with special edition Chargers and Challengers and even that weird neon yellow Dart, so hopefully they bring back yellow to more models soon.

Update 8/16/16: The Charger Daytona is back in yellow for 2017!

Fiat

All versions of the 500 are available in some form of yellow.

500: Giallo Moderna Perla

500X: Giallo Tristrato

500L: Giallo

500 Abarth: Giallo Moderna Perla (new option for 2016! And yes I am counting this a separate from the non-Abarth 500.)

Ford

Mustang: Triple Yellow

Transit Connect: Solar and School Bus Yellow (XL trim Taxi Package)

Transit 150/250: School Bus Yellow

I’m on the fence about the Tangerine Scream FoST and Electric Spice Fiesta/Edge/Escape, but I’m going to count them as orange and exclude them.

It may also be possible to order an F250/350 in yellow through fleet sales.

GMC

Yes, the Savanna is also still a thing you can buy: Wheatland Yellow (same as the Chevy Express with a different grill)

Honda

Fit: Mystic Yellow Pearl

Side note - the new Civic coupe comes in a ridiculous color called “energy green”

Hyundai

Veloster: 26.2 Yellow (Why this isn’t just called “Marathon Yellow” is beyond me... I must be getting too old to “get” the Veloster)

Infiniti

No, and I don’t think there has ever been a factory yellow from Infiniti.

Jaguar

Nothing at the moment.

Jeep

Renegade: Solar Yellow

Surprisingly, there is no yellow Wrangler at the moment.

Kia

Soul: Solar Yellow (only if you get the automatic)

Land Rover

Nothing right now. There was a special edition yellow Evoque a few years ago, but it is gone.

Lexus

No, but Molten Orange on the GS-F and RC-F shows they are getting closer.

Lincoln

If you really stretch the Dune MKX can look yellow in the right light...

Maserati

Nothing until you get to the GranTurismo, which is above our $100k cap, which is sad - all Italian cars should have a yellow option (see: Fiat 500).

Mazda

There were rumors that the new Miata would be available in Sunflower Yellow, but that didn’t happen. So no yellow Mazdas for now.

Mercedes-Benz

Nothing under $100k in the USA. dodisabob has informed me that the Sprinter Van can be ordered in yellow - Calcite Yellow Metallic to be precise! I have never seen one in anything other than white or gray in person.

Mini

Not right now, although Volcano Orange is close.

Mitsubishi

Another company that has embraced orange rather than yellow.

Nissan

Juke: Solar Yellow (yes, yet another one - also, only available on the automatic)

Update 8/16/16: The 370Z is available in Chicane Yellow again for MY17 after a hiatus. I think they might be the same paint as the juke under a different name.

Titan XD: Solar Flare Yellow (ooh it got a “Flare”)

Porsche

Our savior!

718: Racing Yellow

Cayman: Racing Yellow

911: Racing Yellow (Yes, the base 911.2 still sneaks in under $100k even if you’ll never see one on a lot with a price that low)

Ram

Lots of yellow here, primarily for commercial customers.

1500: Stinger Yellow (Special Edition Package)... there is also a “Yellow Rose of Texas” edition coming soon.

The Tradesman (1500/2500/3500) trim can be configured in a variety of yellows for work-truck duty (clockwise from top left: National Safety Yellow, School Bus Yellow, Construction Yellow, Yellow, Detonator Yellow Clear Coat):

Promaster: Broom Yellow

Promaster City: Broom Yellow

Scion (Yes I know these going away, but you can still buy them for a few months)

iM: Spring Green (Yes, I know it is called green, but I have seen it in person and it is more yellow than green)

Smart

Fortwo: Hello Yellow

Subaru

There was a Sunrise Yellow limited edition Crosstrek last year, but it is gone. Now we get a limited “Series.Yellow” BRZ. I’m in love with this thing. I’ve already been thinking about a BRZ when the Forester is paid off and this really ticks all the boxes. Sadly as a limited edition Subaru the used ones will probably sell for more than the new ones for the next 5 years.

Tesla

Nothing.

Toyota

Prius C: Sun Fusion

Volkswagen

Beetle: Yellow Rush

Beetle Dune: Sandstorm Yellow (I’m on the fence with this one, but VW calls it yellow, so I’m including it.)

Volvo

I don’t think there has been a yellow Volvo sold in the USA since the 850R back in 1997. Europe got a yellow C30 for a while.

And that’s it! What surprised me about this list is that it isn’t concentrated solely on sports cars and pickups. There are economy cars and CUV’s mixed in with prices ranging from $15,000 all the way up to as much as you care to spend. There’s even a weird little exclusively-hybrid Prius C in there. Unfortunately some of these options will go away next year, but hopefully something like a Challenger or MX-5 will offer yellow to fill the void.

What did I miss? Also, feel free to show off your yellow cars in the comments - more yellow cars make the roads a better place!

Dodge tends to go in cycles with its High Impact colors. Yellow hasnt hit the list since 2012MY with Stinger Yellow (SuperBee only) so it should be time for 2017 to see a Yellow.

GoMango was released as a limited end of 2016 run, so hopefully that means getting closer to that chance of getting a yellow.

This is good info. I didn’t realize they cycled, I just notice that you’ll see a crazy color for a year then it’ll pop up again later. A woman in my neighborhood has a Header Orange Charger R/T. I think that was 2014 only. It is amazing.

I’ll see if I can get to the bottom of this. I know the Q3 had a yellow option in Europe. Audi is also a bit different in that they have the “Exclusive” program where you can get pretty much any color on any of their cars ordered, but I was going for colors that you could find on a lot.

As a side note: BMW Individual will let order any historical BMW color on any new BMW. Someone out there has a Dakar Yellow F10 M5.

What’s your favorite and least favorite yellow?

For me, I love the Mustang, because Mustang. But that Titan is looking pretty sharp, too.

I have a neighbor who has one of the yellow Beetles. For such a bright color, it is so drab and pastel. Yuck! Least favorite for me.

I’m pretty sure there were yellow Q5s/Q7s sometime in the past few years, along with A3 Sportbacks. One of the sites I write for has recent stock photos of yellow Audis in the archives, but I’m not on my home computer so I can’t look it up.

The only issue now is Dodge threw in B5 Blue as a Impact color on the list (which it is technically) but its been available for 2 consecutive MY’s now. They might be messing up their “cycle”.It still has been too long for a yellow to hit.

My mom had a Header Orange Dart GT. That is probably one of my all time favorite colors.

I have a B5 ‘16 charger now, but that was only because no other impact color was available and I cant do another bland car.

I’m disappointed in Chevy for dropping Velocity Yellow Tintcoat (left) for Corvette Racing Yellow (right). The new yellow is less saturated. It may not look like much of a difference in photos, but in real life it seems too washed out.

Here’s my VYT C6 Vette:

I’m assuming at this point they make a good profit on each one they sell, because development/tooling is long since paid for and they don’t advertise them. They may get some sales from former E-series owners scared that the new Transit isn’t BOF... but you’d think those guys would go for the much newer Nissan NV1500/2500 that are BOF. My guess is they will sell them until they don’t meet federal safety regs any more. At that point it’ll be interesting to see if they bring over an Opel van from Europe or ask Nissan if they can rebadge full-size NV.

The Mustang is the most yellow because it is Triple Yellow which is obviously 3 times the yellow of the others.

There is a Ford dealer right next to work that has several yellow Mustangs out front. They make me happy each morning.

The VW yellow is weird - in stock photos it looks way brighter than it does in reality.

My favorite right now is the Fit, because it is just so obnoxious - and while it is somewhat out of character for Honda it works on the Fit because happy little car.

Excellent Oppo right here. That yellow Abarth is pretty sweet. Two of the best cars I’ve ever owned were yellow, a Gremlin and this Chevy LUV. Any car maker that doesn’t offer yellow just isn’t legit.

I see a lot of yellow Mini’s out there. There was even a yellow Countryman for a while. I think they are just going sideways with the bright orange for now.

Nope. If they had that when I test drove the Mk7 GTI last year I probably wouldn’t have been able to resist it.

A kindred spirit! And I thought I was the only person with a thing for yellow cars! have a 2006 PT Cruiser ‘Route 66 Edition’ that I intend to drive until it crumbles to dust underneath me. It may not have any snob value but I can’t bear to be parted from all that Solar Yellow happiness.

Last weekend I saw an Audi A7/S7 in a beautiful shade of pale yellow, very much like this image from Reddit/Imgur. It was either a previous model year or a custom order because I’m not seeing a yellow paint option for the A7/S7 on the Audi USA site.

1. That color is awesome. And I don’t even like the A7.
2. I’ve also noticed that I occasionally see current-model Audi’s in yellow when it wasn’t listed as a color option. Enough that I don’t think they are wraps. Just like BMW Individual, the Audi Exclusive program is pretty extensive and will let you order from the factory in just about any color. On the S7 that makes it a $3,900 option when the stocked metallic options are $575.

Thanks! I had in my notes to add the BRZ next time I updated this, but I was at work when the Daytona news came across and just added it then. I’ll update. Good to see Chicane Yellow is back! They made it for a few years then stopped so it wasn’t on the list. I have seen them out there, but figured it was done for. Nice to Nissan come to their senses. I’m 90% sure this is actually the same paint as the Solar Yellow Juke, just named differently for a different model.
